Gee, wish I had the remains of Gonzo Asdrubal and .220 Frazier over Andujar, Bird, and Gleybar Torres.

Thank you for your opinion. Can you teach Stanton how to catch a fly ball now? Bird hit .190 last year...that's 30 points lower than Frazier did.How did Tanaka pitch the other day? Maybe we'll trade you Montero if you behave yourself.

To be fair Bird has to prove he's not the next Nick Johnson.
Andujar can hit, Yankees just don't have a need for a DH for awhile. His glove will be exploited if it's as bad as they say.
Torres is impressive no doubt, but don't forget that last year Rosario was the number one prospect in all of baseball.
More so than any other sport, prospects don't mean squat until they actually produce.

Oh, and when are you getting a major league manager?

Bird was arguably our best hitter in the off-season. He was just injured last year.
Andujar has slugged throughout the minors and Spring Training. He also has a cannon. Not really worried about his glove. Worst case scenario, we move Gardner in the off-season and DH Andujar.
Torres was ranked higher than Rosario across the majority of rankings. I'd call them a push.
I didn't even bring up our proven guys like Sanchez, Judge, Severino, etc.

Jesus Montero?
Phil Hughes?
Joba Chamberlain?
Eric Duncan?
More so than any sport in New York, the Yankee hype machine runs rampant. Most Yankee fans know this, but not every prospect is going to make the damn team. Your going to have to move some of them because they all can't make the roster. That's why I think the Yankees are going to be just fine. It's just funny that in the great farm system that the Yanks have right now, there all going to be future all-stars.
As you can see Reub is a different special, leave him alone.

You guys know I like to see the Mets win. But Reub wanted to play war so i'm returning the favor.
What I see the Yankees doing is flipping Frazier/Adams for an Ace when the time comes. Andujar is going to hit in this league. I can almost guarantee that, and Torres is so polished, his floor is so high. They already have Sanchez/Sevy/Judge as perennial all-stars. Didi will always be a borderline guy. Torres definitely has all-star potential. I didn't even bring up Florial who's potential is through the roof.

Let Reub have his fun now. The regular season starts in less than a month.
We love Reub.

You haven't mentioned the suspect starting pitching yet. Is Severino the man? Will Tanaka's arm fall off? Can CC pitch more than 4 innings? How good (or bad) is Montgomery? Who is your fifth starter again? Will Chapman hurt his shoulder again and will his velocity drop off? Or Judge's potential second year collapse (that was a ton of strikeouts!). Or the poor defense at 3B and catcher. Or the dependence on a lot of guys who haven't even performed for one whole season yet (Bird hit .190 last year). The Yanks have a lot of players with potential but potential is not performance. I wish you well, though. Just keeping it real.
