    The Yankees probably have had their share of expensive oft injured outfielders on large contracts. Ellsberg, Stanton, Hicks, Judge. Boston has also had recent experience with the expensive injury bug. The Dodgers are pretty set in the outfield.

    Any prospect not major league ready with an upside

    It is the curse of the Yankees. The only way to beat it is to do what the North Stars did to the Bruins.

    The grumpy fans are pretty much in a fantasy world long before there is talk of a curse

    Guardado for Mark Hamburger Escobar for Liriano Duran for Escobar. Marciel is still a prospect Little for Garcia was useful David Ortiz was a PTBNL deadline deal Joe Mays for Roberto Kelly Bobby Kielty brought back Stewart. He wasn’t a prospect but did have a couple of good years

    Twins got Escobar for Liriano

    Astute trading does bring back players of value.

    Theron lies the delegation. You don’t sign an oft injured player to a large deal. Buxton was not going to sign a team friendly deal. The same applies to trading him. You are not going to get an amazing return for a less than full time player. It isn’t on the FO in this case.

    What 5 players could not be traded is more appropriate to any conversation about trades. Any player can be dealt for a price. The question is what is the price? Buxton on a trade list. Last week it was the FO were idiots for not extending him

    I quit reading the article after the opening paragraph. Starting an article with such a false premise should have been edited out. Editing is changing a no no word to false. Is the new world order is to try to inflame the base?

    It would appear that Cruz has had an influence on Buxton. Too bad the other players do not have that kind of coach

    Sigh

    It is a 162 game season. That seems lost amongst the rants

    Varela has never been a hitting coach before, nor at this point likely to be poached for another job. Hernandez was not a hitting coach before he got the current position. He had been the assistant to Brunansky and Rowson yet not promoted after 6 years. That is telling his skill level. The Twins have people with a title.

    The Twins miss having a hitting coach

    Bluegill Hughes looked All Star Cy Young in May of 75 Chris Parmelee looked great in September 2011 Revisit this in a month or two. History does repeat itself
  17. old nurse
    Buxton has had one healthy season If he has 2 in a row he might get the big contract
  18. old nurse
    Does the health of Berrios’ arm follow that of Sale, Santana, and so many others or Verlander and so few others?
  19. old nurse
    So long of season, so few games to make judgements on

    Evans had only one season as a 40 hr guy and one season in his 30’s. Yastremski lost his power long before 40. Fisk had one season of 30 plus HR for a career, Musial quit being a HR guy by 37. Comparing them to Cruz is pointless. Bonds wrecked a knee at 40 and wasn’t the same player coming back. The lack of context in the comparison is appalling

    I thought I read that many teams will use 6 man rotations. Perhaps there is some Washington Senators fan from the 90s who can remember a team using less than 5 starting pitchers
  22. old nurse
    Regardless of probability he team would be incredibly foolish not to have a solid backup plan for Buxton and Donaldson. A simple look at the player’s recent history would tell a team that. There have been 2 catchers of starting caliber long before the informatics people. Plan B,C,D and E for starting pitchers. They hope no never have to go to “Oh eff “ or Pedro Hernandez. AAAA outfielders keep a job because of potential need. Probability of injury is nice, the preparedness for it is there regardless

    Do you think the players are just hoping to sit on their butts for a month. There are a lot of fields for the teams to play on in spring training facilities. They do it all spring, unless there are mass mirages by multiple people. I couldn't tell you if they keep statistics. I would also think it would be safe to assume that they are all being watched, and coached. If you want to think that teams will do mo development of their players for a month, fine. The conditions of last year are not totally repeated.
  24. old nurse
    I do not know why anyone would think there are no spring training games in April for the minor league players

    Bryant, Anderson, Judge, Bellinger and Mancini are about the only ones out of that draft class making it. It was a lose draft pretty much at this point
