Cruzer 1,996 Posted June 28, 2016 The Yankees can't hang with good teams. Time for Cashman to dump what he can. Beltran and Chapman could provide a nice haul. Gardner might help a good team too. Stuck with the rest, maybe Sabathia could gain some interest too, but won't bring back much. Chapman is a huge carrot for sure.. Problem is, he's on a 1 year deal - and for $11m at that. Talk about a big hickey to take on as a rental - but I guess if you think he's the missing piece to win it all, worth it I guess. Be hard to pull the trigger though knowing you've got to give up prime prospects for a guy who might not resign next year........ From a functionality perspective - we'd love to have him and he'd fill a huge role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Cubs would buck up for Chapman, the Indians and Royals could use Beltran. I hope Texas jumps in on Chapman. They have the goods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Cubs would buck up for Chapman, the Indians and Royals could use Beltran. I hope Texas jumps in on Chapman. They have the goods. As a Indians fan, no way I'd want Beltran. I'd rather see them try and grab a good reliever. Maybe even a great closer like Chapman or Miller. No to a old, high contract outfielder. I just don't see Beltran improving the outfield/lineup enough to trade young talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd much rather get a Chapman or Miller, then move shaw and Allen to the setup innings. Once/if Brantley gets back they should be fine. If they want another bat, I'd like to see them get help with a power hitting 3rd baseman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crackattack 520 Posted June 28, 2016 He's in the last year of his contract. He wouldnt DH? Not with Napoli there. I agree he would be an upgrade, just not a big enough one to trade young guys. I guess it would depend on who the Indians would give up. I'd still like bullpen help, or a power hitting 3rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crackattack 520 Posted June 28, 2016 Forgot about Napoli. Dammit. I know it won't happen, but a perfect fit imo would be Todd Frazier. 8 mill for this year and next...roughly. he'd be ideal for their playoff run. Or Chapman. Ether would make me happy.

Big Blue 06 196 Posted June 29, 2016 Thanks for the clarification. I then agree they had to resume it. It had been raining for several hours, they have to call it sooner. The conditions were sh1t. They should never have stopped the game on te 9th. If everybody suffered that far, they can struggle through one more half inning. They should never have resumed it at 2:30 am, after a three hour rain delay. Just call the focking thing. Basically, the Umps did everything wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically, the Umps did everything wrong. If they delay it after completion of the 8th, then even called it 2 hours later - the Rangers have no beef. But Girardi should of made his argument before there was a runner on 1st, no outs and a 3-1 count to the batter - chicken shiat is the only way that comes out looking... Yes the refs blew it, but so did Girardi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,996 Posted June 29, 2016 Yanks fans - what's your take on the new stadium? Aesthetically it seems nice, but it for sure doesn't have the overpowering intimidation factor that the old one did. The old one we got off the bus just knowing we were prolly going to get smacked - this doesn't even seem like it's the home of the Yankees. I know the team is not near the power of the older ones, but it still doesn't have that same feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Place rocked. Beer sucked, vendors and staff sucked, food was atrocious. The old bleacher creatures were hilarious. Lots of fights to keep you amused, they kept it to the upper decks. They spent a lot of money in the new one, they did not go cheap. But it has no baseball park feel. I'll put it this way: Fenway, Baltimore Citifield ect feel like the corner bar. Yankee stadium feels like a fancy ballroom. It was built with the high price ticket payers in mind. It just doesn't have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
