Down goes Frazier?

According to the ESPN article on the most likely to-be-traded member of each MLB team, ours is Clint Frazier. Quelle surprise.

It says the Yanks "never warmed up" to the Red Menace, and that even with Hicks hurt, we still have Gardy, Tauchman, Judge, and (gulp) "Clank" Stanton as outfielders. So Clint is the odd man out. Especially if Miggy gets DH play, forcing Clank into the field.

You talkin' to ME?
They say Tauchman is a better defender, which is true, and that he's a lefty batter, which is also true, although that factor means doodly squat according to our Stat Wizards. And they know, because they never lie and they're always right.

It's just kind of depressing. If we have to have a Clanker in the outfield, I'd much rather see Red than Stanton for offensive reasons. John Carlo not only has an injury jones, but his whiff rate is just abysmal. Of course, I do have a weakness for guys who are good situational hitters rather than behemoths who swing for the fences, and we've been over all of that before.

The only hope, maybe, is that they keep the Crimson Fury knowing that PED Boy will never play more than half the season, if that. And Judge may not be far behind him in absences.

Given the chance, maybe Frazier can play his way onto the roster. But I doubt it. Cashman has a problem with him, and supposedly teammates find him bristly.

Too bad. The only good thing I can say, all things considered, is that it's better him on the trading block than Miggy.

As much as I can't stand Binders, I'm feeling a little tug toward the Phils.

I AGREE JM...

IF WE HAVE TO HAVE A SHITTY GLOVE PLAYING LEFT FIELD, I RATHER HAVE THE BETTER SITUATIONAL HITTER.

THAT IS FRAZIER, NOT STANTON.

PERIOD.

FOR THE 25TH TIME, IF COOP EVER GETS RID OF HIM, HE BETTER BE SMART ENOUGH TO SEND HIM TO THE N.L., BECAUSE IF HE DOESN'T, HE IS GOING TO KILL US FOR THE REST OF HIS ENTIRE CAREER...AND THAT CAN BE A LONG TIME.

Amen on all counts, JM.

The Yankees have now created a situation—as usual—where they cannot possibly get back what Frazier should be worth. So why not keep him, at least for now?

Did I miss something, or has our outfield been ravaged by injuries for the last three years now? If 2020 is anything like 2017, 2018, or 2019, the Yanks will need every outfielder they can get their hands on well before the season is over.

Keep the Red Menace!

They think of him the way they thought of Betances - garbage with no value. I disagree with them on both players but, once Crackhead Cash has made up his mind, he never changes it. The sign of a really advanced intellect, I might add...
