New year, new team, new thread. Excited to see which prospects earn a spot on the 40 man.

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Well Bird being out for the season is a bit disappointing.

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Really looking forward to this season, I've accepted in my mind this is a "transition" year where they evaluate some of the young talent and ride out the albatross contracts that come off the books after this season, then can make some real moves with their new vision of being younger and slightly cheaper. I think they are headed in right direction.
Player I'm most looking at seeing this year is Severino, I think he has some really good potential and if has another strong year can fit nice as a solid #2 behind a fresh Tanaka

Castro looks good. When you consider what we gave up for him, that could end up being the acquisition of the off-season.

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
As much as I hate the cold it might maybe play into Yankees favor as Keauchel might not be able to pitch like his full potential, with cold dry hands harder to get a good grip on the ball consistently.
Either was hitting is going to suck, if you've ever hit a ball in the cold you know what I'm talking about, a lot of fastballs in and ring up those finger

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Starlin on absolute fire, Pineda still prone to the long ball is a cause for concern, Nova pitched fairly well which is encouraging for when someone goes down and he's gotta make a spot start. Hard to tell what our offense is going to be like over a full season, but there's not an easy out in our lineup.Originally posted by G PericoComment

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Agreed, I think the offense is going to be real streaky as its got those older guys sitting right in the middle which fizzled out bad in the 2nd half last year.
The counter to this is Ellsbury and Gardener being consistent and healthy at the top and Castro, Didi and company in the lower half performing well to offset the middle slumps
Castro might have been the steal of a lifetime, still early but he's young and full of talent that he's quickly showing still has plenty of upsideComment

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Getting both Castro and Chapman for essentially peanuts was huge. But having money helped facilitate those moves so I'm hesitant to give a whole lot of credit to Cashman. I'm sure other teams saw value in Castro but simply couldn't afford the contract."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.
