12-13-05, 06:29 PM
Bernie in any full time role would be a shame...
There aren't enough innings to get 12 pitchers regular work, something that Torre struggles with anyway.
You can solve this by adding someone to the bench who can play SS/2B.
DaVanon makes Crosby kind of redundant. You'd be better off replacing Bubba with a corner outfield type who is a better hitter (against righties to compliment Phillips against lefties).
Bernie doesn't hit enough to be a DH.
With those players, I'd rather see something like...Jeter, AROD, Giambi, Sheffield, Matsui, Posada, Cano, Bernie, Reed with the caveat about Bernie noted.

maybe the Yanks should look at the minors to help the best lay a claim for the future. Cox would be an interesting choice as stated.

Yes, but Bubba can't hit. The point is that a corner outfield type who can hit righties (again, to compliment Phillips against lefties) has more value than Bubba when you already have DaVanon to do what Bbba is best at better.
Hitting Cano second is exactly why Damon is so essential.
Easily solved just by...not hitting Cano second.

What makes Cano a bad choice to hit second, makes him a horrendous choice to leadoff. It's that pesky .320 on-base. Yikes.:eek:
Spiker101
12-13-05, 07:00 PM
we have enough offense, pitching and defense wins championships, that is why Reed is so important.
pitching (35 percent) + defense (15 percent) = 50 percent
offense = 50 percent
So you propose to upgrade defense (15 percent) by reducing pitching (35 percent)?
Kurkjian was on ESPN tonight talking about the Clement for Reed rumor, basically saying it was a smokescreen and that Reed was nothing more than a "serviceable centerfielder." The best description of this guy I've heard so far. The sox need Damon, which alone is a damn good reason to lure him to the Bronx.

Wright in the pen. What an expensive reliever. :(
I totally fail to understand why people seem to think that Jaret Wright as a member of this bullpen is either a realistic or appropriate assignment.
If you examine his 2002-2004 splits, his numbers on his first 15 pitches and his numbers as a reliever are absolutely abysmal.
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits?statsId=5839&type=pitching3&three=1
Anyone who believes that he can be a valued member of this bullpen is, IMO, fooling themselves. Wright would be THE MOST EXPENSIVE MOPUP MAN in history.
We had better hope that he shows something in spring training and we can trade him to a team who wants a starter, because I NEVER want to see him handed the ball in relief.

I don't think (at least with me) that we believe he can contribute in the pen as much as we have nothing else to do with him. Our best bet would be to hope he has a good spring and someone sees him, and wants him.

Hitting Cano second is exactly why Damon is so essential.
Why? Jeter is a much better leadoff hitter than Damon and there have been studies done that suggest your best hitter, i.e. A-Rod for us, should bat 2nd for optimal lineup construction. This also helps because both A-Rod and Jeter have + speed and are very intelligent on the bases.
BennyTheJetRodriguez
12-13-05, 10:12 PM
I've heard people mention that study a bunch of times. Where did it come from? If you have two good hitters that can get on base to hit first and second then shouldn't your best hitter be your third hitter? I think its a waste of your best hitter to be 2-3 spots behind your worst hitter.

I'm prettty sure there is a zero percent possibility of Nomar signing with a team if he isn't going to start. Especially an east coast team. I don't know if people think Myers is going to be a set up man or if i'm reading too much into where people put him on our list of relievers, but right now our second set up man(aka 7th inning man if you believe in set innings) is Tanyon Sturtze. Tavarez would be nice, but he's a Boras client coming from the national league with questionable makeup IMO. Signing relief pitchers as free agents has bit us in the ass so many times I think i'd rather not do it all together unless it was a sub million contract.
BennyTheJetRodriguez
12-13-05, 10:23 PM

When we signed Chili he had already had big years as a DH. Most players don't hit as well when they don't play the field and Bernie is declining as it is. Also Chili always had respectable numbers with us.
To those who think we have 7 Starting pitchers to choose from, Torre disagrees:
"When you look at our club, keep our fingers crossed, if all the pitchers are healthy, we basically have six starters for five spots right now," he said.
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/14/sports/baseball/14yanks.html
I wonder which is the "starter" Torre sees more as a reliever. I wonder if it's Small...
BennyTheJetRodriguez
12-13-05, 10:46 PM
I would guess small.
JeffWeaverFan
12-13-05, 11:22 PM
Then who hits second.
The best lineup has the best hitters (and best OBP) right at the top of the lineup. That way your best hitters get the most AB's during the course of a season. And that is exactly why it is counterproductive to put the prototypical speed guy in the leadoff spot (like Juan Pierre) and why it is great to have Jeter in that spot.
Here's my team:
Jeter SS
Giambi 1B
A-Rod 3B
Sheff DH
Matsui LF
Nomar RF
Posada C
Cano 2B
Reed CF
RJ

Wang
Chacon

12-13-05, 11:39 PM
Seems realistic as Cashman doesn't seem to want to make many changes. I just don't see the Yanks trading Pavano for just Reed though, I believe they'd want something else like maybe cash or another player (most likely a reliever). As for the bench, getting Jeff D. would just be getting a vet to play Bubba's position and for more money.

What does "don't hate on" something mean? Really?
Anyway, you are right to a point. No way we should sign Damon for more than 3 or 4 years. But I don't think anyone else will either.

When you "hate" somebody you generally have a reason for doing so. That person is either a bad person or has hurt you in some way. When you "hate on" a person it is a combination of Jealousy and Ignorance. There usually isn't a reason for doing so.

I'd rather have 6 good right handed pitchers than have a couple of mediocre pitchers just because they are left handed. So I disagree that we need two lefties. I won't say last year was neccesarily a fluke, but Myers is usually about a .230 guy against lefties and is usually lucky if a righty hits only a single off of him. A guy like that for 2 years 2.4 mill when we already have a guy who can probably give you .230 against lefties is foolish spending in my opinion.

Send Pavano & Melky to Seattle for Reed and Soriano. Sign Nomar to play 1B. I like that alot If Seattle picks up Pavano's salary. The deal is pretty even since Pavano and Soriano are high risk high reward and Reed and Melky are low risk, high reward. Melky is a ways away, but Reed was terrible at the plate last season. I feel like its unlikely Seattle does it, but it could make sence for both sides.
When we signed Chili he had already had big years as a DH. Most players don't hit as well when they don't play the field and Bernie is declining as it is. Also Chili always had respectable numbers with us.
I'm definitely not advocating Bernie as the DH, but his hitting should improve from the lack of wear on his thighs, knees and shoulders playing CF.

Texas lacks pitching and has 6 OF's. We need OF's and they need pitchers. Seems to fill a need for both teams and should be a match.

Bernie can no longer hit or field, Phillips should be taking over Rubens role. Small IMO would be worth more to the team as trade bait or long reliever, having him pitch in AAA is pointless...

OK, you are probably right. Although, it would be nice to have a bat to come off the bench and hit for Matthews Jr. in a key spot. Deal Small while the value is peaked.

After the Dotel deal is signed and sealed.....thoughts on whats next?
Mine:
Miggy is signed on board
Bernie officially brought back
CF Trade
The FUTURE
12-20-05, 09:05 PM
Trade RHP Scott Proctor and OF Kevin Thompson to PHI for CF Endy Chavez
(In case Damon backfires;) )
Trade RHP Jaret Wright plus cash to PIT for OF/1B Craig Wilson ***
(keeping my fingers crossed:) )
Sign CF Johnny Damon and 1B J.T. Snow
***If Wright deal doesnt happen, then sign OF Jeff DaVanon and 1B Eduardo Perez instead of J.T. Snow, then Perez would be the DH. If we do get Wilson, then I would choose Snow over Perez because Snow if a better Defensive 1B for key situations and he brings a Left-Handed Bat to the Bench.

I just visited the Hee-Seop Choi thread and If he is available I like him over Snow. He's younger and has better numbers and could be more of an Offensive threat from the Left side of the plate, but I don't have a clue about how good his Defense is? anyone seen him play ?

the end of the thread should have told you that he had been re-signed by the Dodgers
