Can't play NYY under any more this season

Wise choice their early pitchers kinda suck, and they do tend towards scoring lots of runs, sorta means overs, in particular first five overs, they get better pitching after 3.1- 4.2 innings from their crappy starting rotation, when the bullpen takes over

If there is one team I know, it is a the Yankees !

Bad to awful starting pitching combined with a potential, but right heavy lineup, means first five overs against lefties !

They are vulnerable to a top right-handed ace like a Verlander sort any guy that makes 28 million a year, stands 6'5" tall and sleeps with Kate Upton has my respect.

That is what will beat them in the playoffs, a right handed super ace, they have nothing to counter with

In fact I would go the opposite direction if I were the manager and throw my worst starter against a Verlander almost conceding a playoff game and use my best starter ( German, Tanaka, Severino ? ) , In a game I might have a chance to win

Yanks will pick up 2 decent starters the next few days, maybe a reliever, too. That will "hold them" and they will still win the division.

I doubt they will get an ace to match up against Verlander and Cole but all it takes is for the Yankees to beat one of them if / when they play, then it is even, and that is not so far fetched.

Yanks are coasting a tad, a bit banged up, and they are still very capable of going all the way and even winning the World Series.

Picking up a couple of decent rented arms will come at a steep price with less than 49 hours to go, and this is a hard deadline, not soft like before

CC could be done for his career, I wouldn't really count on Severino returning to Ace status, he is still almost a rookie.

Clint Frazier is certainly tradeable, he's a major league hitter but totally cock-blocked as to an outfield position on this team, it would be best for him to go anywhere else, I like him, but he's very expendable,not sure what else Cashman might be willing to part with, but I don't see them getting a Bumgardener type of guy or a Mets Ace.

Deadline 4 pm ET Wednesday, just under 24 hours from now !

I see the Yanks picking up some nobody starter that is no better than anything they currently have , calling it a season, winning the division, losing in the ALCS, and calling it a decade !

Jack, they are just on auto pilot now, cruseing into a division win instead of a wildcard berth, perhaps beat the Twins/ Indians, then loss to Astros, or something like that !

Yeah I know....pretty stupid to be betting on them right now laying -200. Not the right time. I know you know this, but don't count those BoSox out this 8 game lead can diminish real quick if they "cruise" too much. Still a lot of season left it's a little early to be cruising IMO. Getting solid pitching tonight "so far"....they can score 3 runs in a heartbeat if they try. This rookie pitcher going for Zona is nothing special, but they've never seen him that's the issue. Hopefully 3rd or 4th time around they can put something together

Hell yes, Jack...8 games up is not a lock in July, Ray's came close to making it like 3 a few weeks ago but blew that chance.

If the Yanks stand Pat, I can easily see this AL East race being within 5 games at the end of season with the 3 teams in the division. I'm a Yankee's fan, but I want this to get super close, to make it interesting, especially if they do nothing !

There really isn't a realistically available Ace for them, the Mets won't give them Syndegaaard unless they give up Judge or something unthinkable like that

There really is very little left out there to acquire at this point. No name brand Ace starter that won't cost a Judge or Gaybar Torres or Sanchez price, anyways !

As much as I like Luke Voit, I'd give him up for an Ace starter, if Syndegaaard we're available, plus some more of Course

Judge is untouchable, he will be the Captain in a few years, he's kinda like Jeter, will likely be a Yankee for life, Sanchez too valuable at catcher to trade,Torres, Didi, Urshela, Lemaywho, all great.

A great team overall except the starting pitching sucks !

Judge looked like hell this past weekend in Boston....horrible at bats one after the other. I know he struggles there but cmon. To me he’s slowly moving towards the overrated list. His numbers are nothing to ride home about. He’ll never compare to Jeter IMO.

Well , I think you could say he's got that that good guy image, you can't give him Jeter's 20 years of service at a tough position, just yet, but he has that quality about him. Both men are half Black.

Judge is a better fielder, Jeter never really played his position that well. I think Judge will adapt and become a borderline Hall of Fame type player, only missing because of his late start in the big leagues
He can put up numbers like a .300 batting average, 40 + HR, 100 + RBI, lots of outfield assists, and do nothing wrong publicallly.

He will be the next Captain. I'm pretty sure he could the ads of anybody on the team, as well !
He will most likely sign a contract for like 10 years and be named Captain , imo

I'm not some kind of Wannabe Black guy, I'm white, it's just what I Am

Aaron Judge is like some kind of freak, he's 6-7,. Near as I can tell never been arrested for the tiniest thing, never says the wrong thing, ever !

I don't know how a man can be this freaking perfect ?

Maybe next week he gets exposed as some child molester or something ?

He can't be this squeaky clean, can he ? I

Nobody is that clean !, IMO !

I hear you....just think he's got a ways to go. But yes he does have all the tools to be that player and captain.


Man...another note what the hell happened with Stanton?? What a job that was this season. He's either a big pussy that we never knew about or something's behind all these fluky injuries and him basically sitting out the season. He was a holdover for my fantasy team completely screwed me from the get go

Stanton is just one of those guys that got his big payday and is gliding into his retirement, judge is for real, I'm buying his Jeter- like squeaky clean image until some serious dirt comes out saying he's not Mr. Clean, I want him to be that guy, but also know nobody is that freaking clean ! So far , he is as clean as can be, and does everything right !

I hope he continues that way, and I wish I was that damn perfect !

Barring some dirt surfacing, I see him as a lifelong Yankee and Captain along the lines of Jeter
