I think the Yankees drafted catchers in the 1st 3 rounds.

Crazy

Lol

Hope they don't ruin them too

They have destroyed my boy

"Gain weight, lose weight, too much muscle"

He's toast that guy

Romine not bunting after the Andujar leadoff double in extras was absolutely criminal
By the way

He'll be fine, but I wonder about the "coachability". It just doesn't seem like he's trying to adjust.

That's why we need the mascot back now

What's funny is Stanton's not really hitting, Sanchez isn't hitting, Didi's coming off a month-long slump, starting pitching has been a guessing game, and they're STILL 22 games over on June 7.

BTW Dirt, looks like your boy Brad Hand to the Yankees is picking up a little steam lately.

MLB trade rumors: Yanks targeting impact lefty reliever?

Yankees Rumors: Being linked to Padres reliever Brad Hand

Nice, I've heard some Tyson Ross buzz so maybe there's a package brewing

Sanchez for De Grom
Who says no?

My guess is every non Yankee fan.

Gun to my head I wouldn't do it

Never a fan of impact bat for impact arm

Didi worries me most, cause this is what he's been a lot of his young career

Didi wasn't going to sustain his 24.4% HR/FB rate in April, but I also wouldn't expect his BA to stay this low. He's not a high BABIP hitter at all (career .284), but his 2018 BABIP is well below his career average (currently .237). He has also stopped walking over the last month or so. After drawing 18 in April, he's only drawn 6 since.

Yup when he goes bad, he never walks, he's in swing mode too often, first pitch pop ups to LF happen every day with him now

I'd prefer light hitting catcher who can catch.

Not me, I hate automatic outs

Big spots always find them

 

[navamind]

I'd rather have the offensive catcher, mostly because catcher defense is extremely difficult to quantify.

Yup, I was saying the same thing last night....Need to play small ball once in a while.....

 

[Pure Steel]

That was the Sonny Gray I thought we traded for, FYI.

More please.

Holding my breath each pitch......

Of course, I know its not who they are, but Jesus, sometimes its the difference between a win and a loss....Hard throwing RH, Romine K'ing there was as surprising as Spottswood having a thing for Gary
