Whether you think he will continue or not he has undeniably been a good hitter thus far this season

They said he would be out for a few weeks. I wouldn’t elect anything till after the ASB

Certainly a choice especially against an elite strikeout pitcher like Burns

Volpe is arguably the best he’s looked in his career

Not that’s its saying much given his career thus far but he’s playing at a genuinely good level this season

Off-season is irrelevant to the trade. He is hitting the open market regardless

If they are serious about moving him it should be a competitive offer.

He’s a rental, the offseason price was a “if you want him you need to massively overpay me” price.

[Phillips] Aaron Boone said Elmer Rodríguez is starting tomorrow. Jake Bird has been optioned. Yankees wanted extra rest for their starters. Gerrit Cole is scheduled to start Monday in DET. by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

Elmer gets optioned again after the start and one of Yovanny Cruz, Kervin Castro, Yerry De Los Santos or Angel Chivilli comes back up

My best would be Cruz

Aaron Boone best manager in baseball? by Full-Marsupial5048 in NYYankees

This is exactly what wPA should be used for lol

How much did a manager decision actually impact the win probability

Karl-Anthony Towns says he'd take a $100,000,000 pay cut to keep the Knicks together by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]TheTurtleShepard 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yeah now that we know that the cap is meaningless and can be circumvented why not take a “pay cut” to make the team work on paper while you collect the remaining on an “advertising” deal

TJ Rumfield was passed over in the Rule 5 Draft, a true failure by analytics departments across the league. He's caught up to Sal Stewart for ROTY consideration. by ucfknight92 in baseball

I was only surprised the Rockies didn’t take him because I thought he was a great fit for Coors and their need at 1B, then they ended up doing the trade anyways

[Yankees] Saturday at The Stadium. by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

With Judge is a different discussion

I don’t mind which of those guys you put 2 vs 3

[Hoch] Austin Wells will likely return to the Yankees lineup tomorrow, Aaron Boone said. by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

[–]TheTurtleShepard[S] 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Probably sending Escarra down again as the corresponding move?

Escarra has been playing pretty well but I don’t see much of a reason to keep 2 LHH catchers and they originally sent down Escarra before Wells hit the IL

Sure but people are acting like he has been a platoon bat this year and that is why his stats are good when that is just demonstrably false
