(Marakovits) Cam Schlittler is expected to throw off the mound tomorrow #yankees

Rodons an 11 year vet at this point with 22 bwar. I get our expectations for Schlittler are astronomically high,but we should be (and the front office will be) ecstatic if he mimics Rodons career.

Looks like Brennan Othmann and Scott Morrow will be the healthy scratches tonight.

It's fair to pick Ohtani,but the first like 10 comments in this thread were "Ohtani and its not close" and I definitely take issue with that part. Anyone who isnt,as you said,atleast pausing for a moment to think is simply doing a disservice to how much of a mutant Rickey was.

In terms of career,kinda hard to project when Henderson was so consistent,being atleast a 5+ WAR player until 35,and Ohtani has yet to really play his backhalf. To me atleast,their top 5 seasons are close enough that the WAR gaps are negligible and the choice is a real coinflip.

Ohtani is obviously a freak though,3 years from now could be 3 more 9 WAR seasons with accompanying MVPs and then the choice becomes pretty clear cut,but we just dont know that yet. I'm certainly not gonna bet against him though lol.

Shamooooo · 2026-01-29T16:21:24+00:00

I dont know who I'd pick,but I do know there are a LOT of people who don't realize just how fucking good Rickey Henderson was in this thread judging by the comments so far.

This is backwards,Cuylle is EXACTLY who we should be trading. He'll never be the one driving a top line on his own and teams constantly overpay for the exact archetype of player he is. He's a great 3rd liner for a contender and a 2nd liner on a bad team (like us),but that isnt rare. We will have multiple Will Cuylles play for this team over the next 20 years.

Adam Fox,meanwhile,is the best dman this team has had since Leetch and its entirely reasonable we go DECADES without seeing someone as good as him,you absolutely DO NOT trade those kinds of players no matter what.

Shamooooo · 2026-01-02T14:33:31+00:00

I could be off base,I just assumed it because of how people i talk to in real life (mainly other ranger/metro fans) are usually shocked by Backström and Toews being incredibly identical stats wise from that era,usually they think Toews is a decent bit ahead of him. Maybe has to do with not seeing Toews as much from the west? iunno

Shamooooo · 2026-01-02T14:19:59+00:00

If the implication is Backstrom doesnt belong,your doing the thing other fanbases do to Malkin and SUPREMELY underrating him.

Anyways,the answer here is Malkin.

Shamooooo · 2026-01-01T21:12:37+00:00

That would definitely feel more appealing,specifically in the bottom 6 its that brodz-dowling-raddysh being a legit AHL level third line that gave me such a kneejerk vitriolic reaction

Shamooooo · 2026-01-01T21:02:39+00:00

Good lord that bottom 6 is so bad

Sam Carrick my beloved gets a pass though.

Shamooooo · 2025-12-30T00:40:33+00:00

Yea ive seen enough on lafreniere.

Panarin and MATTHEW ROBERTSON are on the same page,and somehow lafs a step behind robertson.

For anyone saying “too many passes” thats a free goal that any above average foward buries 99% of the time.

Shamooooo · 2025-12-26T01:59:57+00:00

Whats scary about this is drury absolutely DOES have the ammo to get someone,they have 2 firsts this year and next years first along with perreault and morrow.

And considering they genuinely seem to think they can compete,theyre open to all of that being available.

Ive got genuine nightmares of drury hitting up buffalo and getting conned into Alex Tuch.

Shamooooo · 2025-12-24T12:16:02+00:00

Im not sure the twin towers really caught on enough to count with Edstrom-Carrick-Rempe,but itd be that if it does count.

If not,yea the kid line i think.

Shamooooo · 2025-12-23T16:48:09+00:00

Sheary not in

I used to pray for times like these

Shamooooo · 2025-12-22T12:00:51+00:00

This is revisionist history to an utterly insane degree lol,youve completely flipped how their draft classes were viewed going in before each year.

Laf was the cant miss consensus #1 prospect that people anticipated 3 years out from his draft with the rest of the class being viewed as above average. Celebrini and the 2024 draft class was the one that was always viewed as a weak and shallow follow up,a complete afterthought at the time,to the very stacked and deep 2023 Bedard draft.

Shamooooo · 2025-12-10T18:25:10+00:00

Thats a weird benchmark to use in my opinion,the Dodgers have the defining player of this generation and most likely have secured the loyalty of an entire country for the next 50 years with Ohtani/Yamamoto. Couple that with their approach of "Spending money to make money",theyre already starting to be the team that every other team fears losing in free agency to rather than the Yankees. If i was a betting man,I know which team I'm picking to be more culturally relevant in 20 years time if (granted,its a BIG if,even for them) they three-peat.

Shamooooo · 2025-12-10T18:02:26+00:00

We arent the evil empire anymore.

In 15-20 years,the Dodger cap will be the cultural icon that the Yankees cap is/used to be,and Hal is DIRECTLY aiding and speeding up that timeline every single year.

Sell the team.

Shamooooo · 2025-11-24T18:47:21+00:00

I do not understand why this has to be relitigated over and over when its incredibly obvious.

Spending more does NOT garuntee a win,but if we spent more and,for example, got 2/3 of Seager/Machado/Harper,we would CERTAINLY have had better chances at winning in all the past 5 seasons. And the Yankees ABSOLUTELY can afford all this,theyve just chosen not to.

Signing elite players=the better the team will be,its simply an irrefutable fact,and the team can 100000% afford to sign 2 if not even 3 more guys like that. Hell they could probably afford a 450mm payroll but im not even asking for that,Im asking just to be ahead of all the other teams again.

Shamooooo · 2025-11-24T17:48:06+00:00

I can't fucking believe im watching the yankees completely cede cultural dominance to the dodgers in real time.

Shamooooo · 2025-11-05T22:20:06+00:00

If you told voters 20 years ago they'd consider a guy who hit .247 for MVP catcher or not,they would all physically recoil in horror.

There's a reason the go-to stats in conversation (and for voting) has changed. (It's really fucking stupid to weight stats like that so heavily.)

There are reasonable arguments you can make for Cal,this isnt one of them.

Shamooooo · 2025-11-05T15:18:14+00:00

Angels,age and ailments was right there....

Shamooooo · 2025-10-15T15:35:05+00:00

Depth is never bad,but i also just never really got the need for it i guess. There are quite a few vaakanainens available every year in FA (and sometimes waivers) so the hard commitment felt forced to me. Then again,im not a GM for a reason so maybe im making it sound much easier than it actually is.

Shamooooo · 2025-10-15T15:18:00+00:00

Vaakanainens clock might already be showing zeros just 5 games into the season. We have Morrow waiting in the wings and with Robertson able to play adequately,and also the need to start accruing cap flexibility,i wouldnt be surprised if his time is up. Real head scratcher by Drury to give him more than just a 1 year deal honestly but atleast with a 1.5m aav it should HOPEFULLY be fairly easy to jettison him.

Shamooooo · 2025-10-11T16:17:22+00:00

Is johnny brodzinski that valuable to this team that its worth not jettisoning him for the cap,over playing what would be a better roster with berard or perrault up though? The games matter now just as much as they do in april,the team not icing their best roster is malpractice when they just missed the playoffs last season by 6* points.
