So as of today, the Yankees' new age, 26-man roster for 2020 could and should be as follows:
C
Sancho
Higgy
INF
Voit
Mike Ford
LeMahieu
Torres
Urshela
Tyler Wade
Thairo the Pharaoh
OF
Judge
Gardy
Stanton
Frazier
Tauchman
Here, There, and Everywhere
Miggy
P
King Cole
Sevvy
Paxton
Tanaka
Happ
Montgomery/Mike King
Ottavino
Green
Kahnle
Britton
Chappy
I don't know about any of you, but that seems to me a roster that is even money to take the World Series.
Sure, the Yankees' ridiculous insistence on carrying at least 12-13 pitchers will likely mean jettisoning either Tauchman or, more likely, The Red Menace.
And sure, we're likely to get back German and Hicks after a couple of months. Maybe we'll see Deivi, too. And more than likely, they'll be badly needed by then.
I'm as optimistic as the next guy that our injury problems will improve now that we've dumped Old Fat Guy as our conditioning coach. But who knows?
Anybody really think that Giancarlo is going to play a whole season? Or Judge, much as we love him? Everybody completely secure that Urshela is going to give us another great season at the plate?
I didn't think so.
Hey, I understand that we're weak at catcher. We should've taken that deal of ICS for Realmuto last year, if it was really there, and we should never have let Romine get away. But too late to do anything about that now.
I think that we should've signed another starter or even two, besides Old King Cole. But too late for that, too.
What I DON'T think we need to do is a big, depth-destroying, future-wrecking deal for a huge risk such as the much overused Josh Hader.
I DON'T think we need to add a neo-Nazi to our pair of women abusers.
And we certainly don't need to deal off the best hitting rookie we've had since Joe DiMaggio to get another reliever. Or to throw in our best pitching prospect, and our best young outfield prospect.
As we have discussed here, one of Cashman's main problems as a poker player has always been his inability to stick. He gets jittery, and can't help taking one more card, or placing one more bet.
He has a winning hand now. He should play it.

He gets jittery because he's an idiot lap dog to Hal's bank account and has never won anything on his own.
Imbicile underwear dumpling.
Hey -- if the GM of any professional sports team is NOT a lap dog for the team's owner, I predict he/she/it will be gone in about 11 seconds. That's the way it is.
Don't like Hal? I don't either. The only options for HalS are:
(a) murder. Not a recommended course of action.
(b) buy him out (make him an offer) -- I'm not sure an IIH kickstarter campaign could raise $55, much less the billions actually needed here.
(c) go follow another team. The Mets? Really? Have you lost your mind?
(d) discuss politics or religion instead. Mayor Bloomberg? Mayor Pete? Pete Rose? Rose McGowan??????
(e) shut up and just take it up the wazoo.
There is, as we all know, another option. Take it up the wazoo AND whine.
I think we have a new best-selling English language t-shirt in Japan: Imbicile Underwear Dumpling.
And Joe, don't be so hard on us whiners. And don't count out (a) as a recommended course of action. It worked for "My Pillow" Hal.
Well said, el Duque. I must admit I'm not completely sold on our group of relievers, especially since Ottavino completely fell apart in the playoffs (hoping that was a temporary thing!). However, I don't want ANY reliever at the cost of giving up Andujar.
Brett
That's our specialty here, Joe: we whine! Or as I say when friends say, "I can't complain"—you're a New Yorker! You can ALWAYS complain!
Brett, for once an incredibly insightful and brilliant comment came from me, Hoss, not El Duque or Alphonso.
But I completely agree: there is NO reliever who is worth Andujar, El Matador.
As you mentioned regarding Ottavino, relievers tend to fall apart mysteriously. We were spoiled by having The Great One for so long, but he was without parallel. When it comes to that sort of consistency, there are only a few who come close: Fingers, Sutter, Hoffman.
We have no idea if Josh Hader would be the Missing Link to the Series, or the next Edgar Diaz.
What's more, in today's game, relievers are the most bountiful commodity around. They grow in thick bushels on trees; just pluck one off and like as not he'll give you an amazing season—at least until the hitters adjust to him.
Cooperstown Cashman's big mistake last year was thinking that if he could just assemble enough relievers, it wouldn't matter that the starting rotation was paper thin. Well, we all saw how that worked out. We should not repeat it.
Insightful and brilliant comment from Alphonso? Now I wouldn't make that mistake.
Sorry. I realized it immediately and was typing an "OOPS! Sorry, Horace!" response when a couple of my folks decided to barge into my office and I was called away to some actual work. I hate when that happens.
Great comments about the availability and non-reliability of relievers. Even one of our current arms (Mike King?) might fill the role nicely.
Brett
I am still traumatized, of course, by the awful 2004 meltdown against the Red Sox.
The offseason before, Coops not only let 700-plus wins walk off the team for nothing—Clemens, Pettitte, Wells—but in his attempt to compensate traded not only Jeff Weaver but also two minor leaguers AND CASH for Kevin Brown.
There was really no reason to get Kevin Brown, a churlish idiot, at all. But if you were going to get him—and thereby take $31.5 mill off the Dodgers' payroll—there was absolutely no reason to send them cash, and ESPECIALLY no reason to send them more minor league arms.
One of those minor leaguers? Yhency Brazoban. Not exactly a world beater. But in his rookie year, before anyone knew him, he went 6-2 with a 2.48 ERA as a middle reliever.
That was all we needed to get past Boston that year: one more, unknown middle reliever.
Instead, we had that imbecile Brown break his hand.
The rule of thumb on relievers: almost anyone can be a world-beater for a season. And any world-beater can become a bum overnight.
