If you think he was an elite player and the Yankees got none than they are right. If you don't then obviously one would disagree.  The twins got more than just him. Its just one view. The real key is whether the Yankees got better relative to other elite teams. There are many pages of threads where we all disagreed on that. |

The real key is whether the Yankees got better relative to other elite teams. There are many pages of threads where we all disagreed on that. Getting better starts with catching the ball and running the bases the right way. With making contact. We already had enough power, but still added a bit. I never cared for Donaldson as an opponent, but I think he’ll be a good influence to drive the team to have more of a killer instinct… IK-F will add hustle and smart defense to SS. Rizzo still plenty of value, and if he turns on balls this year, look out for his HR count. I recall nine or ten he turned on just a little too quickly last year. If he gets that timed out, you’ll see the best lefty Yankee HR swing since Nettles… |

I think it starts with hitting above .250 but that is one of the things we disagree on.  |

Apparently off the market now. Unless the Yankees (or someone) wanted then signed first…to give up higher prospects… |

We entirely disagree on this point. We needed to work on our hitting not our defense because it is our hitting that will keep us out of the WS not our defense. |

We needed to work on our hitting not our defense because it is our hitting that will keep us out of the WS not our defense. No, Russ. Inger is trying to say that - again - you are misrepresenting what he has posted many, many times. You are ascribing to Inger some sort of aversion against offense and hitting for average. That is not his position and never has been. He has explicitly said so in myriad posts over the years. Inger has a multivariate consideration of the balance of a team over a 162 game season and playoffs, concerning the interrelationships among several variables. You appear to only want to discuss one variable. Inger has discussed that single variable and several others. The Yankees won 92 games last season leading the major leagues at outs made at the plate, outs made on the bases, and arguable the worst Yankee infield defense in my lifetime. Cut the outs at the plate and outs on the bases in half and improve the infield defense by 25 percent, and that team is knocking on the door to 100 wins, even with the same underperforming offense at catcher, first, second, short, third, center, and left field. Only DH and RF performed as expected. I hope this helps. Inger has high blood pressure, please stop being contrary simply because you can. Or, practice better reading comprehension and hope there is no breakthrough technology allowing Inger to reach his hands through your monitor and near your neck. The man has enough trouble with Yankee players stealing his sombrero and golden sombrero during the season. |

I believe there were so many underperforming Yankees in 2021 that the odds indicate that it’s likely there will be some over performance in 2022. I’m more concerned about our starting pitching getting more length in 2022. Just 5 to 6 regular innings would be welcome for most of them. I’d love to see Nestor gain more of Boone’s trust…and Montgomery get some runs… |

I’d love to see Nestor gain more of Boone’s trust…and Montgomery get some runs… Agree on all points. I am possibly a bit more enthusiastic about the pitching because of the time removed from injury for Severino, Taillon, and even Monty. I also like having Gil and Medina and Schmidt and King as spot starters. Nestor may have over-performed last season just on the success of his fastball. I am not convinced that fastball can be as successful this year, just because it was somehow one of the best pitches in baseball, and I see that offering coming down to Earth. Nestor, as always, shall battle with changing speeds, location, and timing through multiple windups, release points, and quick pitches. |

Sometimes, a Good Samaritan is needed. Other times, a stand must be taken on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm and the words shouted to the very depths within the Mines of Moria, "You shall not pass!" I have a feeling that despite the appearance of even a thousand good samaritans, and perhaps a good beating. I still haven’t heard the last of that whining misinformed position. If I could, I would find a way to transport Russ from his bathtub to the string section of the Vienna Concerto Orchestra in an act of vengeance. But alas, he would likely not realize he was out of place at all… |
