QuoteHitman23 Left handed pitcher, TJ Sikkema... Stats above. I just edited to post info.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Hope it's Malone...They were talking Misner (hits LH) (Picked 35) and Busch went next (#31) to the Dodgers (of course) Now we see why Dodgers get these young stars that come up with huge success. (Malone went #33 6'3 215 lb RHP. Al Leiter said he's a front of rotation potential) IS???? Anthony Volpe, SS from Morristown NJ (Vandy commit). 5'11 180 lbs HS stats: AB 84, AVG .488, XBH 19,by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com

Quoteunclekevin Gt rid of Morales..DJ can play 1st to give Voit a rest. Can't send down Red Thunder. Maybe Stanton will be on the DL all season? If he comes off the DL he will probably still K 100 times. At this point, I'd like to see anybody play first base instead of Voit. He is below average at 1st base. He should DH and let's see DJ try on a 1st base glove. And this is my only concern in leby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga ., a player is added to the 40-man roster,the team has three different seasons to send him to the minor leagues without having to clear waivers. A player on the 40-man roster playing in the minors is on optional assignment. FYI when a player is sent down you will notice it reads he was optioned to S/WB. There is no limit on the number of times a club may promote and demote a player dby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga that's two games in a row Germain struggled - guessing maybe it could a confidence issue plus the fact that he is on an innings limit for the season & could have that in the back of his mind. He didn't save any surprises for a 2nd or 3rd time through the lineup, an inexperience issue. Wish David Cone could work with him a few times. He's been forced to learn the game by being throby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga Happy Birthday PR - when Didi comes back-probably in Cleveland so he won't start on turf - I'm thinking Estrada will be sent down. DJ will become the 'floater'/utility player which is what Estrada is doing now. When Judge/Stanton return, Frazier will probably go down to S/WB to refine in right field skills - guess they're trying to help him learn three OF positions, he still has a problby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com

QuotePRYanksFan German doesn’t look sharp tonight. Not getting any help from ump either! I saw 2 times in 2 games where the ump called a 50-50 the Yankees way. Last year was way worse!by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuoteHitman23 Happy Birthday, PRY... Whenever it is this month. As for who should be sent packing or down when Didi comes back. Morales could be the one, but I think it’s going to be a relief pitcher with options. Cessa perhaps. Wow dude, I just typed that in response also. I swear I didn't read your post, only PRYs initial post. But we are definitely on the same page or wavelength on this!by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuotePRYanksFan Is Kendreys Morales. The guy was an insurance policy for Voit, but unless he hits it out of the park, or comes up with risp, he clogs up the basepaths. He simply cannot run. I would wager that I could beat him in a race and i’m Coming up on 69 yrs this June. So hurry up Didi so we can send this guy packing. lol slow down Carl Lewis. Kendrys should be playing the field if he's inby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuoteHitman23 The Red Sux are 9 1/2 games behind the Yankees!!!by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Very good performance. Love LeMahieu, but gonna give star of game to Hicks. Kudos to BP. Now we need a bounceback game from German.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
That's very true.I forgot about that one rainout - was it Baltimore? DHs only seem to be best for the fans, going that day. They need to resched asap, not the grind of AUG/SEPT.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
It sucks because we all were looking forward to this 1st of 4, BUT, Geez by Aug.3 we should have a game shape group of returning wounded. Rather have Stanton, Didi, Judge, Severino, even Montgomery...but he will be character building the rest of the year. lol But all these guys back will be fun to see. Thing about the Yanks is it's hard for these incoming stars. They're fighting just to keepby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Ryan is probably the greatest pitcher I ever saw. Verlander reminds me of him a bit but...lol...too much of a resume for Ryan. And I say that tipping my hat to Guidry and Steve Carlton, and so many more.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga Stanton doesn't impress me on D -as for his bat, he whiffs too much. Was never thrilled with that pickup. Frazier will improve - he hasn't played right that much to know the nuances of every park and the path to play the ball. Once he learns to read the balls off the bat in right, he was be fine. Wow. Everything you said I said on the sny? Yankee forum (except for line to the ball). Tby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga at this stage Jethro, I would be hesitant to trade Gio - he is solid at 3rd & his O continues to improve. Andujuar is out through 2020 with TJ surgery - I would prefer the have DJ available to float around the IF giving Gleyber, Didi (when he returns), even Luke. While I would hate to lose Frazier (feel he will become the starting LF next season - we have more OFers. Estrada is beinby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
I agree it did take a bad bounce. He let that happen was my point. He should've charged it. It's always a split second decision. For a split second if his mind drifted, that's all it took, or maybe it was physical impediment in that split second. As I said, he shouldda charged the ball. Short hops are way easier than waiting on a ball. That's when bad hops are exposed. But it's history. I wasby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuoteHitman23 No to mention, against a horrible team.... Oh well, it was a good road trip even if it was against weak teams. Now it's back to the Bronx today against Manny and the Padres. I can't wait to boo him at the stadium today! lol have fun!by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga these are the hardest losses - scraping away to tie it up after KC had a lead only to lose on a bad hop in extra innings. It was only a bad hop because he let the ball play him instead of charging it. When in doubt charge the ball don't let it get a chance to take a bad hop.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga Not counting the ball lost in the dusk sky last night - that's two balls he should have caught. He's too many extra pitches for our rotation. Not thrilled with Maybin either - The guy is gonna be an all-star. He has been GREAT for the Yankees. RF,LF,CF, whatever it takes to keep him in the lineup and Yankees winning. Until last night (btw, he nailed a guy at home yesterday or today) hby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga Didi is DHing today - hit one out will take tomorrow off & if all is good he will be upgraded to S/WB for a few games - arrival in pinstripes could be sooner than later. Paxton still experiencing some issues with the knee but will travel to NY & see Yankee doctors - if he gets the green light could actually start Wednesday. Well that's very good news!by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga Dicey for sure - thanks to Ken Singleton keep talking about the 4-game sweep in the 8th & 9th, ok so he really doesn't control it but the O's scored 4 in the 8th to tie the game as Holder couldn't get an out gave up 1 & left 2 on for Kahnle who gave up a jack to tie it. Some 2-out magic in the 9th 3 walks & a single for Sanchez produced the go ahead run. Britton in relief -by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga just a hunch that Tulo with be DFA or possibly a trade chip when DIdi is ready to come back. Gley has been doing a solid SS & will slide back to 2nd when Didi returns. Estrada is fitting into the role Wade held and DJ will give most IFers a day off which makes Tulo expendable. but we're getting ahead of ourselves with speculation - these things have a way of working out.

QuoteHitman23 QuoteGator and let's not forget that Clint Frazier has gone yard twice already in the same game!!! I wonder if Clint Frazier will be trade bait for a top notch pitcher at the trade deadline... Unfortunately, I think he will be.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com

I looked at the schedule and I think they are in the midst of a 16 days (17 gms) streak. Then they get 1 or 2 days off and play like 24 days in a row including Astros and TB B2B and towards the end of this boston.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
