seriously are we surprised by this????? still say he should just walk away before he's forced out.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
either that or Drury - also Austin or Walkerby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Following the win over the Marlins this afternoon, the Yankees made two more roster moves getting to 25 man. Estevan Florial was moved to the minor league camp and Miguel Andjuar was optioned to S/WB, a good move to keep him in the lineup every day as he continues to work on his "D".by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

Whether his velocity is off or location, Dellin Betances woes continue to be a problem. He has been missing & walking batters; still not able to hold runners on; maybe because of his height struggles fielding his position. Giving up the long ball is now becoming an added problem - for a RP that amounts to trouble and blown saves even losses for the team. He needs to get his act together sooby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
moves are being made as we inch closer to opening day - Adam Lind has been released from his minor league contract. Opening the door for Tyler Austin to back up Greg Bird at 1st.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Cash never said two rookies would but they could start - Andjuar needs work on his fielding and watching Gley, he still needs to work himself back into the game. It takes time and he should be back soon - Wade will be the second baseman until Gley is ready then Tyler will become that all around bench player we have been missing. Walker if he can get his timing will be a nice option - This gives uby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
along with Kyle Higoshima - expect Andjuar, Shane Robinson, Bill McKinney to be soonby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
With a little over 2 weeks left in ST things in Tampa should be shaping up and falling into place. Problem is there a still a ton of minor league players on the bench and getting into games. Today was a prime example. Boone's 5th inning interview said we would be seeing players going 2, 3 games in a row & beginning to play the 9 innings as pitchers continue to stretch out, starters to 100 pitby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
from the sounds of Boone's 5th inning interview - 2nd base is Ty's to lose even with Neil Walker - Walker has 2 weeks to get ready & make a spot on the team heading northby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Tyler Wade returns to the lineup tonight against the Twinkies. We also get to see Tanaka on the mound. C'mon 6:30by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I'm not surprised - Kenny has been looking older lately. '97 is 21 years and that was after a nice baseball career. He is not a youngster and maybe he wants more relaxation. He has been spending more time in his FL home and less in Maryland. He is such a cool guy & gentlemen to meet in person, had that pleasure. It will be sad though. He was so good with Jim Kaat in days before YES. Let's enjby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I agree and I just hope Rothchild isn't going to screw around - he is the pitching coach, in charge of pitching. Part of the reason he was retained was his experience; is he petty enough to take his 'anger' about Joe's firing or his own not being hired as manager out by not being responsible for the staff. I'm not a Rothchild fan never have been - so when there's screw ups with the pitching, I puby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Aaron might take the hit but there is enough brain freeze to go around - first the order of pitchers are known prior to game; Larry Rothchild is the pitching coach & should have enough experience to know when to send word to the bull pen - and then we have the bull pen coach who has experience and shouldn't have to be told to get Warren warming up.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
always liked this kid - he has potential to be 'that guy' in pinstripesby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
of course - been waiting for both of them to come up and crack the lineup together. Gley did his thing sliding headfirst to the plate last year 0 hopefully he can get back in the swing. Looks like he might be tentative & maybe protecting that shoulder. Clint was just a ball of fire and looked so calm sitting there after the fence collision stating he just bumped his head on it - seems more liby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
just more proof that you can't tell - I thought it might be a fractured wrist or torn ligaments. Watching Clint hitting the fence, I really thought he would be set to go in a week - concussions can really scramble the brain.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
announced on YES that John saves the home run calls for the real deal - stay tuned for March 29th at Torontoby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Sounding good for Tyler = he rolled the wrist & wanted to stay in the game. Gino has him icing it but no tests are ordered. Erring on the side of caution - fingers still crossed till I see him back in the lineup.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
update on Gley is not good either - he is still experiencing headaches & dizziness. He is afraid to drive & feels 'foggy' after he tried a little BP. Only activity so far is stationary bike.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
As Tyler Wade is taken out of the game - made a good stop on the ground ball but rolled over on his left wrist. Pain was immediate - Gino was right out there checking & took him to the clubhouse. Now we wait and hope it's not a break/fracture or worse bad sprain. Not liking what I see with Torreyes so far this spring - sloppy on the field and timing is off at the plate.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Okay it's only spring training but really haven't we all been waiting to see Giancarlo explode one. With Judge on for the 3rd time against Matt Harvey & the Muts, he launched one just to the right of the center field wall. Now expect him to relax and settle as a Yankee. Sure looked good to meby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
the fact that he wouldn't deny the HRD had anything do with his injury & surgery speaks volumes - he's done it,, won it - nothing to prove. Would like to Sanchez even Stanton do the same. too much unnecessary strain physically & mentally for '5 minutes of fame'by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
cybermetrics have changed the way the lineup is put together - nothing much is going to surprise me this yearby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
that would make for an interesting discussion - there are arguments for both sides.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

and the worst is the fact that it is ST & they're oblivious to the players' names - too busy yakking - sorry but these are the guys of the future maybe I'd like to know who they are -by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
MLB is televising today's game against the Sux - BUT since it's in Ft. Meyers we're stuck with their talkers - can't justify calling them announcers or sportscasters. They are so Bawhsten oriented and to make it worse it's game day to 'celebrate' their charities. We not only have to listen to the one-sided game but different hometowners lauding the Sux while supporting the various causes. Even haby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Sounded like Boone was getting concerned about Thunder too - but as for Ells I really wish he would agree to a trade or just retire instead of being a stubborn idiot thinking he can win a starting job. He has no pride just ego.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
