I Want To Believe... But I Can't: The Official 2023 New York Yankees Off-season Thread

if y'all saw the last Bader interview, can't lie I felt bad for him. He got fired from his dream job basically.

Sucks, but we gotta make way for the Martian

c'mon

This is the Gleyber I know.


Oh well, the Martian lands in Space City tomorrow

Both teams being terrible helped win my parlay

So I’m looking at Gleyber’s numbers and I don’t think it would be bad to stick with him as the second baseman. He’s delivering more power at that position than anyone in the majors, he’s been hitting really well for the past 12 months by way of average, he makes a good amount of heads up plays (though he makes some head scratchers too), and he always seems to hit well with men on base. He’s not old either. It genuinely might be the only spot besides right field they don’t absolutely have to address in the next year or so. I doubt they’d find any meaningful improvement at the position and there doesn’t seem to be a huge market for him either. I say stick with him.

I'm just arguing semantics and defending a Braves player. Don't mind me.

And if Gleyber wants Ozzie’s salary, that can be arranged.

The call up is premature.
Dominguez wasn't really playing well at AA until late July and August.

They pushed him to AAA and while he's done well there -- it's only 8 games at that level.

Part of the reason to bring him up to the Major League roster is to retain interest in the Major League club. But part of it probably has to do with Harrison Bader not being a good enough hitter this season. They cut him, and as good as Bader can be defensively, Dominguez can probably match that or play close to it. So why not take a chance and let Dominguez get some at-bats at this level to prepare for 2024?

Rookies struggle all the time, so that's what fans should expect out of Jasson Dominguez.
It'd be a miracle if he comes up and has a Shane Spencer-type September.

AAA pitching is so bad a lot of teams don’t care about keeping prospects there for any sort of extended time, or sending them period. Makes sense they prefer he take his lumps in the bigs for a month rather than keep mashing bums.

He came off so likable. Dude made sure to leave the door open for a return.

Good.
Then fire Brian Cashman since he’s the guy who has been utilizing analytics in all the wrong ways.
