That legendary bat speed.  Haven't seen anything slapped that hard since The Oscar's. |

Is Manaea really better than Deivi, if he's throwing over 95 mph? That curve and change up just increased in margin for error. I don't think they'd even let Deivi pitch in the majors any time soon no matter how well he does in Spring Training or early in the year. Manaea would be more of a sure thing. At some point they're gonna have to go for a championship full force. Judge/Stanton/Cole are not getting any younger. Though one year of Manaea would be a rough sell for any good prospects. I would certainly allow Deivi to earn a place in the rotation during the Spring, but you are probably correct. The Yankees are as cautious as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. |

Another HR by Higgy and Marwin continues to hit. Clarke Schimdt goes 3 giving up 2.

Sign of the times with hype lists, prospect rankings, etc. Would love to see Deivi and even Florial figure it out again at AAA and provide options at ML level. Or at the minimum recoup some value and be used in July trades. I am sure Deivi found last season to be difficult and put in big effort this offseason strength wise and getting back to his delivery. Deivi bouncing back so quickly early in the year was not something I expected. He's been a nice surprise though its just Spring Training. Our farm does look good right now in all the rankings and lists. I still think we need another starter so it would be wise to use some of those prospects to get one. They've shown the last 5-7 years that they can produce prospects, the issue has been polishing them off at the ML level - as we've seen with Sanchez, Torres, Andujar, Bird. Of course in some cases injuries played a factor. They're all in now on certain methods w/in their MiLB teams with the hires they've made in recent years, hopefully they can find some consistency in the structure and ultimately, produce young talent that can offset the financial burdens they love to claim they have. On cue, it sounds like if they lock up Judge they won't be making many moves in-season. How can they win with this roster? |

Though the offseason was certainly meh at best, I think they can win the WS with this roster. Some things do have to break for them like Gleyber and DJ bouncing back. I would like another starting pitcher too. |

I would like another starting pitcher too. I like our defense much better, depending upon who starts in CF, we could be + defense at 6 positions. Even 7 if DJ gets 2B, which seems unlikely. Near GG D at 1B, SS, 3B, RF above average at CF and C are possible… God only knows what Torres will do at 2B, Stanton in LF, or how we’re handling CF. I know I’m hoping we see a lot of Locastro out there, at least in the late innings… Maybe slide Hicks to LF when it’s time to sub Stanton out… |

I would like another starting pitcher too. The biggest problem is if they fixed the problem of baserunning massive errors and just falling apart. They lost probably 15 games that they had in hand they win those gift games they prob have over 100 wins easily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I mean even if you add those what was it 20 runs on the bases thrown out at home. Let's saying they score 10 of those that's prob 5 more wins the wc is in Yankee stadium and maybe they do something. They improved against the rays later in the season and they played well against elite teams. I really feel if they made it farther they matched up with the white Sox and Astros just fine.

Why would anyone want to see Locastro on this roster let alone in games? He doesn't do anything well except run, he can't hit and he's not a plus defender, despite his speed. I'd rather resign Gardner than waste a roster spot with this guy. |

I'll never understand the long term contract for Hicks, when he had a long term history of injuries. |

Inger is like a child taking in strays, when it comes to speedy (or speedy looking) outfielders: Tim Locastro, Jonathan Davis, Mike Tauchman. |

Didn’t I read today that Gardner has been re-signed. But I think if you watch Tim in the field this year, he’ll pass the eye test on fielding. I’d just like to see us make good use of his legs this year… I want to see us steal bases… |
