Especially if you remember how the old man used to spend...which we all do!


I had my problems with the old man, believe me. Mostly because he didn't know shit about baseball.

But yeah, he would laugh at his kids trying to stay under the tax threshold.,

Maybe 4-5 years back, MLB changed the rules on International spending. Right before that change took place, the Yankees went crazy and signed just about all the top guys available. Do you remember this? Did they hit on any of those guys??

Sanchez is one of those guys, so define "hit" LOL



The one everyone is salivating over now is Jasson Dominguez. Looks like a linebacker, switch hits, and runs really well.

But still hasn't faced a professional pitch despite signing two years ago, so I'm reserving judgement.

Could tell he was going to pump that right into the ground just by his body language. His confidence over there is shot.

That said, Bruce should've made the play. It wasn't that difficult of a hop.

Amazing they will go the Sanchez route with Gleyber and play him out of position so badly that it destroys his offense, you can see it happening

even if Sanchez natural position is DH

They were working him out at first the other day. I'm sure that's gonna go spectacularly.

Dalbec is f’ing terrible. He needs more work. Not ready for primetime yet.

What are the Yankees going to do about Sanchez lack of hustle out of the box? I hate to see that when I’m watching the games
