That's surprising and disappointing

10 yr run, finish 200 games over 500..is there like a better manager available. I can't imagine what went into the decision to not bring him back?

And it was a year where the team vastly exceeded expectations

I am reading the decision was for a few reasons:
- Joe might be burned out from the NYC spotlight and needed a fresh start
- The Yankees really want to embrace advanced analytics and want someone to champion that
- They are looking for someone that is younger to better relate to our prospects

Here's what concerns me, especially about the third point. Yes, we might end up with the next Dave Roberts, but it is probably more likely that we end up with the next Matt Williams

at this point, he would have had to win it all, I don't even think a ws appearance would have made a difference.

+1
Whoever we get, he has to win the ring or leave immediately. Not a great job, but certainly a great challenge.

3,4,5 hitters

Judge
Stanton
sanchez

I think they combine for like 150 homeruns last season..lol

absolutely

lots of power, but lots of righties...

Judge will also be the #2 hitter... that's the trend

I think it's far more likely that the order is

2 - Judge
4 - Stanton
6 - Sanchez

Also Masahiro opted in. I hope Sonny remembers how to pitch!

Does this eat up Bryce Harper Money?

Michael Kay was speculating that we're sending Ellsbury, Gardner, and Castro.

That was a ridiculous speculation from Kay. No way Miami wants that much money coming back. Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Marlins will receive Starlin Castro, Jorge Guzman and Jose Devers in the Giancarlo Stanton trade. Guzman was a pitcher we got in the McCann trade. Good prospect but pitched in low A ball. We still will be able to get under luxury tax this yr which is great. Reset the tax level which is important, especially for next yrs class. I guess we are out of the Harper sweepstakes.

I saw that suggestion too. Do you really have to split the all up? How bad are they against righties (can't look up the #s now)?

it's certainly possible that the maybe someone has better numbers against RHPs than I am assuming. I have not looked at the numbers. That said, figure by July the top competition in the division is going to load up on righty pitchers. So, I really think it will be necessary to approach the lineup in a more traditional way, and that would be by splitting the power up with lefties.
