I know a lot of readers of this blog don't care much about statistics, but as a Yankee Suzuki's OPS was .679, 12% below the major league average for all non-pitchers, including back-up catchers and utility infielders. Even Ellsbury, whose signing I'm not defending, has a .709 OPS as a Yankee.joe de pastrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-81125176471857202652017-07-12T14:22:54.197-04:002017-07-12T14:22:54.197-04:00The Youk thing had the extra layer of hilarity bec...The Youk thing had the extra layer of hilarity because of his feud with Joba Chamberlain.JJ in MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938225020979668602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-39281302670978715722017-07-12T12:55:01.474-04:002017-07-12T12:55:01.474-04:00Ahhh the days of Youk. imwas on a lot of acid them...Ahhh the days of Youk. imwas on a lot of acid them.

He batted very well against lefties, which of course meant that Joe used him much more often against righties. Because, you know, that's when you use left-handed batters. And although he wasn't as fast as he once was, he was actually faster than most players on those Yankees teams and could play better defense than half the outfielders (and that's being generous to the other outfielders).<br /><br />As for Gamel, that was awful, and Duque is 100% right about why we got rid of him. Stupid, stupid, stupid, but exactly what we've come to expect from the idiots in the front office.<br /><br />If only we could trade <i>those</i> guys.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-37599662407201585822017-07-12T09:20:22.625-04:002017-07-12T09:20:22.625-04:00You forgot to mention Gamel's stellar defense ...You forgot to mention Gamel's stellar defense and flowing locks that wouldn't fly in Yankeedom.Buhner's Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205831161773382370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-88281635191891608192017-07-12T09:17:30.011-04:002017-07-12T09:17:30.011-04:00Hear hear Duque on the Ellsbells issue. If he'...Hear hear Duque on the Ellsbells issue. If he's not even hitting line drives to move runners, there's no point in him being on the team. Every time I watch him throw from center it just gets sadder.<br /><br />Agree with you as well on the likes of Pronk, Headley, Soriano, etc. in the realm of rent-a-vets, but I was kind of sad to see Ichiro on that list. Granted that's how we got him, but though his defense had diminished for sure, he still made some great plays, was fun to watch and could provide clutch hits, which as I believe that was the era of Jeter grounding into double-plays in what seemed like every other at bat, was much needed on that team at that time. <br /><br />I know he did his best work for the Seattle Starbuckers, but still, he's arguably the best hitter of his generation and it was great to see him in a Yankee uniform for a couple seasons. Even if it was just a ploy to get those radio ad dollars rolling in from Sapporo, it was a big hit.<br /><br />You're not wrong about how he got there, but Ichiro had way more to contribute to the team than Andruw Jones or Billy Butler for sure.JJ in MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938225020979668602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-71942424706843079932017-07-12T08:21:10.107-04:002017-07-12T08:21:10.107-04:00This is about Hal's appetite.

Fortunately, he appears to be willing to eat the 2nd half of the $3.5 million paid to Carter for this years.<br /><br />Is he willing to chew and digest all of what's in Ellsbury contract? No one is going to want this guy in.a trade, EVEN IF we send $10s of millions over with him. <br /><br />My bet is that this is a dish on which Hal refuses to bite.
