Oh well there goes the chance the chance to be an elite team. They took no chances and made no major investments. Which is pretty much the way this team is. It’s not over yet…as far as taking chances, they are. They’re gambling on Volpe and Co. on the Martian. On young pitchers. For those that want to see the Yankees moving toward youth, this is what it looks like. Thirty six year old corners… today… the kids tomorrow… I disagree. They were unwilling to trade elite talent, or what others see as that, for elite talent. Or to invest in it. Nothing in the recent history of the NY minor leagues convinces me we will win WS with them. I don't they they are gambling at all. Gambling involves some reasonable chance based on past distributions you can succeed. I think they are just cheap and risk adverse. |

Time to trade Gleybar and Voit. Why would anyone want them. |

Time to trade Gleybar and Voit. Why would anyone want them. Somebody wanted Gary Sanchez. Somebody wanted Andrew Heaney. Somebody will want Torres and Voit, I assure you. It all depends on what the asking price is. |

We got Voit for a song. We should get more in return for him than music.
Maybe they’ll go through with giving Gleyber a chance to succeed at 2B. If the do that, then DJ is the utility man again. I’m wondering who the back up SS is at this point, but with trades to come, and MiLB possibilities, I can wait for that answer.
I can see Hay Bale-Alfalfa as a good SS, and could also picture him as a future utility guy once the kids grow up. I see a plan coming together.

Do what it takes to make the play offs and make lots of money. |

IKF has been durable and I suppose Cabrera can play SS in a pinch. Then, I would expect Peraza to be called up for his first cups of Joe until IKF returns. I doubt the Yankees would allow a Wally Pipp situation, no matter how well Peraza plays. The Yankees are slaves to their self imposed calendars. |

Wally Pipps only happen when Lou Gehrig’s happen along… But let’s imagine that somewhere along the line we have both an injured 1B and 3B. DJ covers first and IK-F moves to third. Yanks start Peraza and he’s amazing. The 3B and 1B j juries become nagging… the 2B starts one of his “I’m so broke I can’t pay attention” streaks, and hits like early in 2021 again. Volpe is now up, and he handles second base like another Joe Morgan. Yanks take a 14 game lead by July 1st. Then we wake up… 🤓 |

And yes, the Yankees seem to have some set-in-concrete timetable for bringing up prospects. Why is it sacrilege to even suggest that under certain conditions Volpe or Peraza could see some playing time later this year? |

It's another maximizing profits manipulation, which the MLBPA wanted to address in negotiations. It would have been easier to have the owners provide every MLB player a personal soft serve ice cream machine, when first placed on the 26-man roster. |

The player I hoped on the board they would not resign.
Oh well.
