I assume Cashman likes the Tigers prospects a lot more than BA, BP, etc. I understand the idea of turning one serviceable 7th inning guy into two down the road, but the timing was strange and it was not a move I'd expect from a win-now team.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Looks like JC called it...
The Yankees will go into Spring Training with Aroldis Chapman as their closer, manager Joe Girardi said on the YES Network on Monday night. New York acquired Chapman from the Reds last month in exchange for four prospects."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Chris Lis of Rotowire paid $38 for the trio of Betances/Miller/Chapman at AL Tout this weekend. Really glad someone tried to pull this off.
The obvious downside is you spend $38 and still finish 8th out of 12 in saves unless you buy another closer or get really lucky with a 2 dollar flier. The obvious upside is really strong ratios and starter-level Ks.
Liss spent $9 on Drew Storen as well.
I almost wonder if paying $15 for Osuna/Storen as well would make this work if you could pull it off. Go with 4 volume starters like Ian Kennedy for around $8 - $10 each. Osuna went for 8 here so that doesn't work as well here.
Here's the Tout results if you're interested: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...=2&pli=1#gid=6

Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you...but it's still on the list.
Some people are like Slinkies, they are not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

yep, Tout isn't a keeper league. Ray Flowers bought both Miller & Betances in LABR reasoning that he was using 2 roster spots to get one really good pitcher. Chris took it a step further to say he was using 3 spots to buy a peak Pedro Martinez for K's & ratios while also getting all of the Yankees saves as well.
