Official Yankees Thread II (Alex Cora & AJ Hinch fired)

[HarthorneWingo]

German to miss the first 63 games of the season, looks like it’s Montgomery’s job to lose.

I read 81 games.

[NYKinMIA]

Yup. 81

Yup. 81

You're both correct. It's 81 games and German sat out last 18 games already.

The suspension is retroactive to the 18 games he missed last season.

[blue and orange]

If Happ is still here I would have him as the 5th starter to start the year and have Montgomery start in AAA for about a month, so he can be stretched out and less pressure on him to get back into form being a full year removed from TJ surgery.

Here are the free agent starting pitchers. How can see who is still left on the board. Bring back Jason Vargas. Newsday will be thrilled.

Yup. 81

You're both correct. It's 81 games and German sat out last 18 games already.

Wait, so the sentence was handed down last season? Then why is this news?

The sentence was handed down today.

Last season he was put on administrative leave until MLB investigated the situation further.

Oh. Thanks. I'm not familiar with the due process requirements under the CBA on MLB drug testing. So was German suspended without pay while placed on admin leave for those initial games or did he continue to get his salary but just wasn't allowed to play in games until the investigation was completed?

Sorry, I'm not up on his case.

Players placed on administrative leave are paid during their absence unless a suspension is deemed necessary by the Commissioner’s Office, at which point pay issued during said leave is rescinded. The standard period of length for administrative leave is seven days, although the league can continue to extend that period as required by the status of the investigation as it unfolds.

If German is indeed disciplined, any suspension would leave him on the restricted list during the Yankees’ forthcoming postseason run, marking a costly loss for the AL East champions. German, who turned 27 last month, has given the club 143 innings of 4.03 ERA ball while averaging 9.6 strikeouts and 2.5 walks per nine innings pitched.

He was paid while on leave, but now that the suspension has been handed down and includes that period from last year, he's going to actually have to pay the salary back that he received at the time of the investigation.

How'd the team find out? Routine/random preliminary test came up hot?

Most likely through a police report.

I'm sure every team monitors all their players closely and MLB/Yankees got word of it before the public did.

This isn't drugs, it's DV. There was no police report for the incident. The rumor has been that it happened after CC's gala last year.

The investigation into Germán began in September after an incident was reported directly to MLB the day after it is said to have occurred. Earlier in the evening, Germán was with many of his teammates at a gala event for CC Sabathia on Sept. 16. The incident for which Germán was suspended did not take place at the gala, contrary to early reports last September, but afterwards at his home in Westchester County, New York.

As of now, there is no police report on the matter.

AWTY is shook. That’s right, we’re going to take over this b

[SelbyCobra]

Yoooooo, the Yankees have hired Eric Cressey as the overlord of their strength/conditioning/training departments.

This is basically the equivalent of stealing the Suns training staff from about 10 years ago. Cressey is THE MAN in baseball circles, both for the results he gets and being on the cutting edge of biomechanics, kinesiology, etc in baseball.

This is absolutely massive for the Yankees organization.
