2022 MLB Draft July 17-19 - An Extensive Look At Top Draft Prospects

I have always felt if Michael Young played for the Yankees and Jeter for the Rangers there would not be as big a deal about Jeter as now.

jeter was better

Yankee horn always toots louder. lol

gut tells me at least 2 of those will still be here.

Unfortunately I tend to agree and as said don’t bring them up unless you plan on playing them.

The players have no intention on throwing in the towel but we are a little more realistic. Woody might have a fit if we dump vets

 

[scotsman1948]

Duran needs to come up. We know he has hit ML pitching. Now we need to see what Woody intends to do with him on defense. He will play some where but it is getting crowded. I would not be surprised if Garcia is not gone before end of year.
Duran LF
Leody CF
Hernandez RF
Speed in the OF.

i did give that option but i've been informed that no one should be brought up unless they get 75% of the time playing so that won't work even if we dump Calhoun, Miller and Culberson so might as well leave him, Huff etc in the minors.

to keep Hernandez, Taveras and Smith on the field 75% of the time plus Heim, Seager, Semien, Lowe & Garcia playing full time there would no place for anyone else. except for bench players

if they want to see how our prospects perform at MLB level those 3 must go, if they are only concerned with some minor chance at playoffs then they'll keep them

 

[scotsman1948]

So ensure that several players don't get the ABs they need.... Good call. Don't call up anyone unless you plan on playing them at least 75% of the time, that's the issue now...

so screw them because they aren't going to get 75% of the bats. who else you going to cut or put on the bench? Smith, Hernandez, Taveras, Seager, Semien, Garcia, Heim etc. they get up to the MLB level we split the time so that everyone gets 40-50% of playing time

 

[WastinSomeTime]

6th all time in hits is pretty good

He averaged 9 more hits a year than MY. Their power numbers and BA very similar. Defensively, MY was a very good 2nd baseman. He digressed as they moved him around. Jeter was able to play SS his entire career. Much more would be said about MY if he was a Yankee and not a Ranger. Never said Jeter wasn't any good but you put on pinstripes and have the East Coast bias you become larger than life.

jeter was better

In what way? They both were very similar.

Yes. I have said the exact same thing. Young would be in the HOF, not because he deserves it, but because he is good enough that playing in NY would put him over the edge in people's minds.

 

[saddles]

oops

You were right. Miami is on the east coast.

All the better.

the FO isn't keeping Calhoun/Miller/Culberson because they think that's the best chance at the postseason.

Appearing in 7 World Series, winning 5 of them, and hitting .321 also helps a lot.

My guess is that they want to get Duran comfortable with OF before bringing him up to play it full-time in MLB.
