What Do the Yanks do with their OF?

[$500 Million]

That's true. I can't see Ellsbury staying healthy the rest of the season.

It's inning to inning with him.

Obviously Judge is performing as a top 5 AL outfielder. If you can name 5 more without mentioning Gardner and Hicks I'm all ears.

You could argue that Trout, Betts, Souza, and/or Avisail Garcia are 4 out of the top 5, but really:

Imagine what will happen when Longoria wakes up. Having the worst year of his career right now.

Best division in baseball every year, and this year, Im starting to get the feeling, i could be better than ever

Back in the summer of 2014, Sports Illustrated's Bob Clarke released an issue of their magazine


with a cover that got a whole lot of people riled up. Said cover included the words "Your 2017 World Series champs" in reference to the Astros, who, at the time, were 33-46 and in last place in the AL West. Fast-forward to June 1 of 2017, and the Astros have the best record in Major League Baseball at 38-16, with a commanding 11-game lead over the second-place Angels.

Agreed, it's certainly close. Gardner is 5th among AL OF's in OPS(if you include Hicks' #'s), and tied for 3rd in WAR and is 6th in OPS+(if you include Hicks' #'s). So I think he's in the top 5.

.575 winning percentage against teams outside the division this year. Pretty darn good.

You forgot a T.

Changing the subject it/tALE, to you.

I took it as you gettin cocky.

What should the Yankees do in their outfield when they arguably have three of the top 5 OF's in the AL and that doesn't include Ellsbury who's scheduled to be back soon, if not today?

It's going to be tough to bench somebody who's performing at an All-Star level. And Holliday has been serviceable enough at the DH spot, that I can't see some type of platoon system either.

Can Holliday play 1B? lol.

I would trade Aaron Judge for Jordan Zimmerman and Francisco Rodriguez. You can never have enough pitching.

LOL...Toss in Anibal Sanchez and you have a deal

 

[AlpacaWine]

I'd say trade Ellsbury, but it would probably take another year of sustained success for him to have any real trade value. I would just stick with Holliday at DH given his injury history and age.

Yeah. Trade Ellsbury. They ought to give the Angels a call and offer him for Mike Trout. They must be getting itchy with him on the DL.

Damn, you drive a hard bargain ... Can't do it. A former ERA winner, a proven starter and a shutdown reliever for a virtual rookie ... I'm gonna have to pass. Aaron Judge is a steroid user. I know this because I read it in a thread on the hoop.

Gonna need a young guy with upside to go along with Trout

I think they get rid of Ellsbury. Guy's older and not what he used to be but he can still be of some value to a lot of teams.

The only way they get rid of Ellsbury is if they call up Vinny in Brooklyn and have him whacked.

If you are a believer in statistics, the Yankees do have the best outfield in MLB, and it's not even close.
