Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Betances will the start the season on the IL. Found this brilliant post in the comments on MLB Trade Rumors though:
“I’ll take the Red Sox bullpen over the Yankees bullpen any day”
Is it just me or did the discussion in the comments on that site go downhill not long ago?
Edit: Yep it was just a troll. Shame that the site became infested with trolling and nonsense in the comments.Last edited by Rocket32; 03-19-2019, 09:15 PM.Comment

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Voit is such a steal for Cashman.
When Cashman keeps striking gold like that, it's really hard to not understand even a little bit why he loves going bargain shopping."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. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Not like they care now with Goldy, but I wonder what happened with him in St Louis. I feel similar about Didi. Those analytics guys are seeing stuff that the entire league is missing.Originally posted by G PericoComment

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
And it's not even just missing stuff, it's gotta be mechanics also because these guys are hitting their stride immediately. Didi, Voit - to name two that stand out - just stepped in and pretty much turned into completely different players. Voit mostly. He went from AAAA fodder to Hall of Fame numbers (albeit in a short sample size but it's not letting up at the moment).
It sucks that we never got to see Drury play because I feel he could have been similar, but I guess even the analytics guys couldn't predict he had vision problems."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.

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Voit seemingly came out of nowhere. He was an afterthought when the Yankees signed him. Just somebody that hopefully could do a little bit better then Bird. Which wasn't asking much. I thought nothing of it.
Now I'm thinking this guy could be an all star. Hits the ball extremely hard and has pretty good plate discipline.
Never saw that coming. I thought Didi would become a good SS here I liked his potential. Voit I never saw coming.
Is there anybody better in the business then Cashman at turning fools gold into actual gold?
Hicks, Didi, Voit all paying huge dividends for absolutely nothing. It's kind of insane.

Re: **The Official New York Yankees Thread**
Funny enough, I feel like this title belonged to St. Louis for a time, especially early in the decade.
They were the kings of finding nobodies from their system and promoting them while everyone else was like, "uh, you're promoting that AA bum? You can't be serious?"
Then they become huge contributors to championship teams. Not sure how they missed on Voit. And if they didn't and they always knew, maybe they gave up trying."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.
