I would wager there are at least three guys on our bench that would be starting for the Yankees today. Maybe all four. Crazy that with guys like Rutschman, Mountie, Hays on the bench, we can field a lineup that looks this dangerous. There are a lot of contending teams that would love to have these guys  (and not just Rutschman) in their lineup every day, let alone as options off the bench. 

Os are almost certainly the deepest team in the majors when it comes to position players. 

The Yankees DH yesterday was Jahmai Jones and J.D. Davis was battling in the cleanup spot. 😬

Ah, another year of second guessing the lineup every single day!

I don’t know why people keep lumping O’Hearn in on posts like this. The guy had one of the few over .800 OPS on the team last year. He’s not remotely the problem.

I heard that he was initially scheduled to be DH, but told Hyde, “if Burnes doesn’t want me to catch him, then I don’t wanna play!”  Then he was seen softly sobbing in a corner of the locker room.

Exactly. My point is just as much about how bad the Yankees lineup is than it is how good our bench is - though both things are true. 
 

And as I type this the Yanks go down 5-0 as a home sweep at the hands of the Reds looks very possible. The Yankees are a paper tiger.

Obviously they have a few very expensive players, but How do you have a payroll like the Yankees and not address depth better than that?  It’s downright malpractice. And they had to make a in season trade to even get Davis.

Without Judge (mostly) and Soto (a little less), the Yankees would be putrid. And that would even be with a healthy Cole.

Edited to add Stanton. He is still dangerous if you make a mistake to him.

Can you name a team that had the deepest pool of position players AND the deepest pool of pitchers?  Can’t have everything. It’s very easy to lose sight of what we do have when you only focus on what we don’t. 
 

We also have the second lowest team ERA in the majors despite significant injuries to the staff, so there’s that too. 

I understand your point about not having everything and forgetting what we do have . My question is…….do we have to stop trying to improve our farm and ML teams ?   And stay ahead of the curve ( as BeMore said ) ?

The way the Yankees are built Judge, Soto and Stanton all need to be playing and be producing for their offense to be any good. Stanton is on the IL again and now teams have more latitude to pitch around Judge and Soto. 

Let Judge or Soto hit their solo home runs because the remainder of that lineup isn’t doing anything.

Did I say we should stop trying to improve? That’s ludicrous.

And they are discussing mega extension with Soto while all of this going on, fascinating I might say

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Drifter · Posted

      Kopech is interesting. As for Fedde? The days of 4.50 ERA and up should be over for the O's. Being this is out of the norm, and not the AL East.. Fedde is not worth it to me. I'd rather bring up a young guy and work with him than wait for the sky to fall. Maybe Dan D can find a spot for him somewhere.

      Why not? Not like it’s a day after a night game and they are off tomorrow. Exactly what it should be.

      Never asked for everyday..but real opportunity should be there and hiding behind some stupid archaic rule when the info you actually have suggests otherwise is dumb.

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Fedde is a hard guy to peg.    Kudos to him for making what looks like a great choice for his Age 30 year. It feels a little dicey to me if the first half success (never mind Year 2) can stick as the league digests the changes in his game. Elias will get to see a couple more starts of his back rotation guys figuring how the Floor v. Upside balance he buys. I think of Chris Flexen some when I think of him as an Asia guy who had time constrained success coming back to the USA with a new set of skills.

      Ryan Mountcastle 2024

      By Hallas · Posted

      1: Jones only had some in-season swings that made us think but his o-swing rate was quite a bit worse.  Mountcastle's chase rate is the lowest of his career this season. 2: I think we were more willing to forgive Jones for swinging at low/away sliders because he played a premium defensive position.

      I think you have the BABIP point backwards.  League average BABIP is .288, so Fedde’s .269 suggests he’s had some combination of good defense or good luck.  Also, per Statcast his 3.13 ERA is better than his xERA of 3.57.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By e16bball · Posted

      The fit here seems almost too obvious. Veteran rentals where we’ll only have to take on a relatively small amount of money and probably won’t cost us anything particularly high-end.  Given my choice, I’d probably lean toward Heaney and Robertson. I like the idea of adding a lefty to what it appears at the moment will be a pretty righty heavy SP group, and Heaney is in great form at the moment. And I think Robertson’s performance seems a little more sustainable than Yates’s, given their more recent track records. He’s also got a ton of playoff pitching history, so I’d have a little more trust in his ability to manage the moment. I think the biggest mystery for me is what would Texas be seeking. The ML lineup seems pretty set, so it’s hard to envision a Norby or Stowers having value there. Maybe a “now” pitcher like Povich/McDermott plus a couple lower level/higher ceiling guys?
