it's good to be back posting Yankee baseball Here's to good friendsby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Don't give away the plot - I'm reading the book now at a leisurely pace have preordered Cone & Curry's which should arrive next weekby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Things have changed since the days of Big Stein - Cash has brought the Yankees into the modern age of technology (not that I like sabermetricsd). They have kept a representative team on the field every year while bringing payroll under salary cap. If you notice, teams this year especially have gone to offering contracts based on what you did recently not in the past It would aggravate to see theby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Michael has been saying that since the season began - emphasis on Keuchel is not the same pitcher. Houston offered a qualifying contract which he turned down - wanting more $$$ & years. No team has been interested in him. Even for a team to offer him an incentive contract after the deadline would have to be desperate - he would have to put in a full 'spring training ' to be ready. FWIW by theby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Good to be back & talking Yankee ball -by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
haven't been down to the Bronx in almost 2 years but always tried to catch BP - I don't care if they pull balls just want them to stay within their comfort zone and go with the pitch. When they try to force the issue, that's when they lose the zone & are lost at the plate.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
if Keuchel was worth anything, first Houston would have resigned him, two some team would have offered him a deal before the season began. There's a reason he's still a FA. Yes, H-man I'm backby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
A deal with no trade clause, no opt out will take him to age 39 - 13 years. $330 mil - now how long will it take to get him in shape to play.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
but a great hour of chatter with Reggie, Michael & Kenby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
back-to-back games on YES as this afternoon's against the Phillies starts at 1. So nice to have Yankee announcers Michael Kay & Ken Singleton back.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Congrats Andy - a new job with the Yankee brass. Pax aka Big Maple is looking forward to having Andy tutelage during the spring. Could Andy be groomed as our next pitching coach - he's worked with other pitchers during his career & helped CC transition from power pitcher and now he'll mentor Pax.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
televising the Yankees/Sux game - but I hate those Sux announcers. At least Monday we'll be able to have our guys back. Good thing Gley went yard.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
and 8 days until the first ST game on YES - hard to believe my baby turns 46 todayby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
that's plantar fasciitis - spell check screwed me there. Maybe there's a trade in the wind & Ellsbury will be gone.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Ellsbury will be late reporting to Tampa - he is having an issue with the plantar factitious. Who knows when he will be ready if every??? Maybe he should just retire instead of wasting a roster spot even on the 60 -day. CC is coming along well and will make his first bull pen in a couple weeks - a little behind the other starters. We were reminded he still has a 5 game suspension to serve (fby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
They meshed a friendship in the Yankee minors - came up through the system playing their entire careers in pinstripes/ 1/2 the Core Four that dominated the ALE with 4/5 WS; and now with their playing days in the rear view mirror, Derek Jeter & Jorge Posada reunite in the Marlins front office.

Might not find out too much news but Aaron Boone has a press conference scheduled for 1:30 Wednesday - yep the day )P & Cs are reporting to Tampa - baseball, Yankee baseball is getting close. YES will be televising the PC live - I'm planning to watch - so antsy for my Yankeesby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
and soon we'll be talking about OD and hope there's no snowby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
still speculating - looks like owners are keeping those offers lower than agents set for their superstars - with training camps opening this week, who's going to cave first????? who will sign first Machado or Harper?by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
been waiting for this since October - and of course they'll be in sunny FL while I will be watching another snow storm but ST means warmer days are not far away - February 25th first ST game on YESby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
or is this just another rumor? Never expected the Yankees to offer more than 5 years - the risk of being burned on those tail end years increases.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
on the other hand with ST opening next week and neither signed it could be an opening for the Yankees to get one or both on our terms. Who knows??? Hard to get used to owners actually holding back on the big contracts for top players but maybe contracts will come back into the atmosphere. Won't be long and we will be discussing Yankee baseball for another seasonby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Much as I love AJ he needs to take a page Jete when dealing with the media. Their job is take any tiny tidbit and blow it into headlines & Controversy. Aaron was baited by continuous similar questions when he blurted the statement of switching positions to make room for Harper. He needs to learn not to raise to the media bait. Strange how Derek would never say anything however innocuous to reby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I still refer to 27 rings and the sports franchise record of the majors MLB< NFL< NHL - Yankees still rule- don't forget the Sux from 1918 until 2004. Why not a 2018 - 2104by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
MLB had to rescind its ruling - which means changing the rules. lifetime ban should have been enforced.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
anything for the Sux - is this prep for the fix so the Sux win the 2019 WS?????? At least a lifetime ban in Hall still standsby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Been watching the '98 Yankees -remember them, pretty good record They didn't have a team of power guys who struck out more than they hit. That was team where each player contributed and helped the team. As we prepare for the 2019 team, I wonder what they will bring to the plate. Of course, it all depends on everyone staying healthy; the bench & those called up or picked up during the seasonby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
