That acquiring Frazier means Cashman intends to somehow ship away Headley, at least, and deal Chapman and/or Betances, the Kamikaze Kids, for more prospects. Which might make sense.<br /><br />But that hope is not only forlorn, it seems likely to metastasize soon into desperate, foolish, abandoned, and clingy.HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-84734577741412971242017-07-19T12:39:43.992-04:002017-07-19T12:39:43.992-04:004.

So he's gone. They just got Cooper so he will play... some. Frazier (The Elder) also serves as insurance for Holiday in case his Osgood Schlatter or the Sit Com disease (Epstien from Welcome Back Kotter + Roseanne Barr) or whatever that illness was, returns. Also like a Bufferin he provides Headly relief. <br /><br />Speaking of relief yeah... we just got a bunch including the metaphisical --- a visceral joy from never seeing Clippard pitch as a Yankee again, and yes I feel bad for him as well but combine that with never seeing Pineda as a Yankee again) and that's a lot of relief right there. <br /><br />Plus by bringing back D Rob and the other guy we continue to bring the band back together. All we need is Steve Hamilton and we are SET. <br /><br />Now to the sad part... B. Ruth (when you write it like that the trade does seem kind of stupid.) But hey you gotta give to get and the Yankees have a lot of outfielders. The other guys... Tito Polo? Sure he has great lineage what with being the love child of Tito Puente and a golf shirt but seriously how many of us who follow the team closely enough to be reading this blog even knew who he was? <br /><br />Look, like any trade we won't know till we do. We're still debating the Pineda trade (a clear lose/lose) At least we can stop imploding in the late innings as the bullpen provides the greatest save of all... saving my liver. <br /><br />Doug K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-63610628946890203172017-07-19T12:08:01.778-04:002017-07-19T12:08:01.778-04:00A few takeaways from the deal:

I went to bed sort of liking this trade. In m...wow! I went to bed sort of liking this trade. In my head, Rutherford was years away in low A, Clarkin in high A not much closer. So we got rid of Clippard, who had just been through one of the most epic meltdowns in history, and we got two sharp guys for the bullpen. Gd knows we needed help in the bullpen.<br /><br />Plus, if the team has any sense, we plug Frazier into 3B to see if he can muster something more than weak groundballs to 2nd. And Headley sits. Or goes away -- to Scranton or somewhere were they need a switch-hitting slap hitter who can commit a lot of errors with his glove and his arm.<br /><br />Now, if the braintrust intends to plug Frazier and Headley into the lineup and send Gary Cooper back to the lonesome prairie, I'm a little less excited. But at least we've got Robertson and Kahnle for the bullpen, right? That's a good thing, especially if it means less reliance on the Twitchy Twins -- Bettances and Chapman. (Have you ever watched two guys look more uncomfortable than our supposedly Lights Out Bullpen last night?)<br /><br />I'm no big fan of the Braintrust, but this didn't look all that bad until I read what you guys had to say. Now, I've got my doubts.Parson Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312179928176617912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-91198984308635377162017-07-19T09:54:19.614-04:002017-07-19T09:54:19.614-04:00Ok, Cash-Puss: STOP!!

We are going to be sorry in future years about this trade, you can bet on that...<br /><br />The price for any decent starter is going to be way too high, and involve some of our best prospects, I have no doubt. DON'T DO IT, CASH-PUSS!!<br /><br />Not only that, the rumor-mill has it that we might be interested in Duda & Reed - - THAT really, really, distresses me - - here's my primal scream: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!<br /><br />I'm sorely disappointed, as well, that it appears that they have no intention of giving Cooper a decent chance - - that is "sick" and "sad", and I sincerely hope it's "fake news". The man is starting to rake, and he's playing a decent first-base. DON'T FIX WHAT'S NOT BROKEN!! Fire Cash-Puss, and FIRE Joey Blue-Binders, and we might be fine (until Rutherford, Polo & Clarkin become super-stars, of course.

If these were the misssing pieces to being a serious World Series contender you would say great, let's make the trade. Except now with good luck we get to the post season and lose in the LSC . Yes the bullpen is a strength again. But the fact is the staring pitching is still inconsistent and not at a level to win the American League Championship no less the World Series.<br /><br />So the only way for this trade to make sense is for the Yankees to add a starting pitcher that can close the gap and give them a pitching staff that can help them beat Houston ,Boston etc. The problem is there are not any aces out there and the price for the pitchers that are available ( can you say Sonny Gray) will be more top prospects. That may hurt more than giving up Rutherford, unless Brian Cashman can pull a rabbit out of his hat. It feels like the Yankees are chasing "fools gold".

With Robertson, w...Nobody mentioned Dave Robertson. With Robertson, who's only 32 or something, we could theoretically move Chapman again. Our bullpen go-tos can be Green, Warren, Betances, Robertson. He's still good.<br /><br />For as bad a month or so Ty--not the guy--has had, I still hate to see him go. He sounds heartbroken to leave. Inside him beats the heart of a Yankee, always has, and after two half-years, he's gone again. Feel really bad for him.<br /><br />Why the fuck did we give up two good prospects, though? Really? Frazier is a nothingburger. And so much for giving Coop a decent chance. I was warming up to the kid. And what about Bok Choi? Will we no longer see his grinning visage at all?<br /><br />This organization is totally fucked up. We've let three potential All Stars go now, including Gamel, and for what? As much as I love me some D-Rob, it's just plain stupid.<br /><br />Did you ever get the feeling that Cashman doesn't give a shit, and that he just makes deals to make some deals? Like Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke"--"I'm shakin' the tree, boss! I'm shakin' the tree!"JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-90733542928021874372017-07-19T08:00:19.841-04:002017-07-19T08:00:19.841-04:00It's definitely a weird trade, right in there ...<br />It's definitely a weird trade, right in there (brain-infarction-wise) with leaving Caleb Joseph in the game after 2 good innings. It fits, that way.<br /><br />I think we, the fans, can be OK with this trade -- as long as it is the FINAL piece of Cashman's maneuvering for July.<br /><br />It is, of course, a shame the ChiSox wouldn't take Headley as a part of this deal. I don't think Cash pushed hard enuf on this. I enjoyed reading this AM that Headley says he'll be happy to move to first base, to make room for TFrazier. <br /><br />I wonder if he'd be just as happy to move to Scranton? After all, he collects $13 million next year even if we send him to Mars. <br /><br />BAD NEWS: It is only the 19th. There are 12 days to go before the bell rings. There might actually be MORE of this brilliance to come! Thus far, 2019 is still a possibility.<br /><br />If there's more of this, as we used to say in Brooklyn -- forgetaboutit.
