It doesn't have to be right away, but name the players you want to see up at some point next season for an extended run.
I would like to see:
Miguel Andujar
Gleyber Torres
Chance Adams
Dillon Tate (bullpen)

Definitely Torres and Andujar. Andujar had that big game and then was promptly sent down. I hope he can defend 3rd base adequately. Don't want a Nunez type scenario.

I'd rather wait an extra year and see Tate up as a starter in 2019...

I would like to see: Miguel Andujar Gleyber Torres Chance Adams Dillon Tate (bullpen) I would add in Domingo German- as a reliever- especially if they deal some of the reliever depth. I also think that Tate should continue to be developed as a SP- if for no other reason than it keeps his trade value high. There are enough power reliever arms ahead of him that jumping him to the bigs is not a need. Finally, while it is not a necessity, I would REALLY like the Yanks to give Estrada a real shot at winning the utility INF role. As much as Torreyes has been useful, he was BADLY exposed when he had to fill in for injured starters. Estrada might or might not be ready for the majors (at least find out!), but he has legitimate offensive skills, and can handle all 3 INF positions defensively. |

And, as I said in another thread...Higashoika...I wouldn't mind if we do pick up a journeyman catcher to stick in AAA as a back up plan to him, but if Higgy can hit in MLB like he's hinted at the past two seasons, he may get some time at DH as well. In a scenario where both catchers are offensively and defensively strong like the one this might present, we might need a third catcher-capable option on the roster. Is there an available veteran catcher than can play multiple positions that we might pick up somewhere???
I know I'm combining two threads, but what am I to do??? Woe is me...

Im not the biggest Torreyes fan but your assessment is not in line with reality. When he was playing nearly full time from June 16th through August 30th (199 PAs in that span) he hit .308 with a .712 OPS. When he filled in for Didi through April he hit over .300 with a mid-700s OPS as well. Not flashy numbers by any stretch, because he hits for no power so his OPS will never "wow", but its when he was filling in for the injured starters and playing everyday when his game actually elevated. Its periods during which he played more inconsistently in which his performance suffered. |

I'm not the happiest about the tendency to forget about and skip over Tyler Wade. His number in his debut were bad, but I think that to be somewhat meaningless. The only disappointments I had were his lack of stolen bases, which may be more a function of the timing of when he was on base and the manager being conservative and his lack of walks. He showed patience, but he took a lot of strikes, leading to excessive strike outs. I believe that to be an adaptation issue with better umpiring and better pitching for the first time...He's a very talented fielder, and his offensive upside with the speed factored in could make him a long time back up, or even a starting infielder someplace...
Estrada is a line drive hitter, from what I gather a good fielder, but doesn't offer much in power or speed. I like those back up players to have some sort of secondary skill set that can be utilized off the bench...Estrada will likely start someplace. NY? I'm doubtful...

I think Wade's lack of SB was really just a lack of being on base very often. During his MLB cup of coffee he only reached 14 times...he ran twice. Ive definitely got Wade in the back of my head too as a utility guy but hes going to have to go out there an earn it (obviously). |

Wade over Torreyes.
.LHB with more speed and power but the Toe is a Joe favorite
Torres at second.
Any combo of Torres at second plus TBD at third is better defensively than Castro at second and Torres at third. Ex Castro fan but have concerns about his D
German. Question for me is whether this kid deserves a chance to start vs is he too valuable in BP next year.
Andujar is a favorite of mine but the organization views him as a defensive liability,IMO.
Chance. I’m not a fan.Walks almost as many LHB as he strikes out.
Bad sign

I would really like to see this line-up in 2019:
1.) Gleyber Torres
2.) Didi Gregorious
3.) Aaron Judge
4.) Bryce Harper
5.) Gary Sanchez
6.) Greg Bird
7.) Miguel Andujar
8.) Aaron Cashman's Guy
9.) Clint Frazier
That would be just so absurdly loaded. Andujar batting 7th and Frazier 9th is wild.
SP: Severino, Tanaka, Otani, Gray, Montgomery
team is stacked. absolutely stacked.

You might also consider sticking Otani in the line up instead of either Frazier or Hicks...Otani batting 7th might be REALLY, TOTALLY, STUPIDLY absurd...I think Bird is going to be our #3 hitter by next season, by the way...There's almost no room for anyone with run creating talent to play... |

Aaron Cashman's Guy...lol, I love it. Though I would much rather Otani DHing than Frazier or Hicks. I think folks are really underestimating him going both ways...not that theres anything wrong with that. |
