do NOT gaslight me, all of this is result of you downplaying ohtani's season and claiming he played under no pressure by saying that's why he didn't sign with the yankees and why he chose to play for a la's B team. :lol:

i'm done with you on this :lol:

it seems like the only knowledgeable yankee fans are mecca, awy, and to an extent geolink(i'm sure i'm missing a few)

ohtani is the better player and had the better season, sorry if can't process this.

you're wrong, very wrong. it's not even an opinion, it's a fact. you're wrong on ohtani. take off the rose colored shades and appreciate something you're never gonna see again in your lifetime.

Funny, I don't see that on the leaderboards. Among rookies, I have Soto, Acuna, and Andujar leading in that category among rookies. Can you show me on the leaderboards where Ohtani is?

On a full season, yes. Did Ohtani play a full season?

Butch718 · Post #7188 » by **Butch718** » Fri Nov 16, 2018 7:50 pm

Ohtani is a better player than Andujar.

Andujar had a better season than Ohtani.

Both things can be true.

Wait. What? Ohtani isn't top ten in any category pitching or hitting...even among rookies?

That's **** giving him ROTY over Andujar. He didn't even play a full season.

Dr. Detfink · Post #7191 » by **Dr. Detfink** » Sat Nov 17, 2018 11:42 pm

I'm ok with Ohtani being ROY. It's arguable but it's not unfathomable.

Now, the real question is...will Ohtani or Andujar have the better career?

Remember Yu Darvish had an impressive first couple seasons then blew out his arm to Tommy John surgery and was never quite the same again. The Cubs wished they had that one back when it came to signing Yu to a ridiculous deal. Ever since the partial tear, Tanaka has wisely conserved his arm strength but keep in mind, he's NOT the same guy as he was in his first season when he was cooking with gas and throwing those tight inside fast balls. I think Tanaka might has a similar career to Kuroda who was a pretty darn good Yankee.

What am I saying? I'm saying the lifespan for Japanese pitchers seems to be very finite. No one knows how Ohtani will be after he comes back from Tommy John surgery.

But if we're going by the FIRST season, the numbers are provocative.

Crazy...lol. Sanchez hitting ninth? Harper, Machado, Murphy, Paxton AND Corbin? That would be a hell of an offseason! Wonder what the payroll would be after that?

I think it will be more like Machado, Murphy, Corbin, Happ, and maybe Zach Greinke or an under the radar trade for another SP.

Personally, I’d be cool with just Corbin+Murphy. Big maple is always injured.

Wonder if Ellsbury would sign off on a trade to Arizona, where he has a home. Also wonder what the insurance on Ellsbury's contract is like and if the Steinbrenners would trade him to help get into contention or just collect the insurance.

well that's one domino down.

Sheff & Swanson & Dom Williams for Paxton.

Not surprising they do it now, it clears up an extra 40 man spot.

isiah_thomas · Post #7199 » by **isiah_thomas** » Mon Nov 19, 2018 10:54 pm

What's the consensus on this trade

Dude has never pitcher more than 160 innings

It's alright to me. The injury thing is a question, but if it only took Sheff and a couple nobodies, I'm alright with it.

It's a cheaper alternative than signing a mediocre pitcher to a long-term deal.
