2K24: New York Yankees

[Ken]

Chance Adams is 4-0 with an 0.64 ERA in 28 innings at AA. 1.00 WHIP though because he walks too many guys.

I've been watching Adams closely this year. He looks like he's ready for a promotion to AAA at minimum.

[Art Vandelay]

Judge with two more today

I read that Hicks is now the full time cf, ellsbury is the swing guy once he returns from the dl.

Top prospect Gleyber Torres needs TJ surgery and is out for the year.

Is he worth acquiring for next year?

I think position players recover much quicker from TJ surgery, so sure!

[mjl]

Sure, but I doubt he gets much of a discount.

I think position players recover much quicker from TJ surgery, so sure!

they say 6-ish months for position players. Rocco Baldelli had a June TJ surgery in 2006 and played 92 games in 2006. Jose Canseco had a June 1993 surgery and played in 111 games the next season. Wieters had a June 2014 surgery but played in just 75 games the next season. My concern with Torres is that as an infielder, he needs to make more throws than an outfielder, and as a corner infielder those throws need to be strong ones. I am not sure he's ready to begin 2018.


EDIT -- it's his non-throwing arm. Would believe that keeps the recovery at 6 months

Carter DFA'd, Tyler Austin called up.

#29 today for Judge, tying the Yanks' rookie record set by Joltin Joe.

[Judge Jude]

funny that I have expected the Yankees SPs to fall to earth. they have, mostly, but they are actually underperforming their HQ xERAs. that should be encouraging for fans, but I still have a feeling they won't quite get there.

meanwhile, the Yankees hitters fared ok, too, in "reality vs perception." might not surprise anyone that none of the slew of .300 hitters is likely to finish there, or that Judge has the biggest "fall" likely. but a $38 first half and a $22 second half, if that happens is a $30 season not even counting defense.

they buy Judge's power more than AVG but a LOT. if you're barely ahead of numerous teams right now and contending, shoot for that boring back-end AVG upgrade that won't be a deal-killer but could be a subtle key.

OMG, please get some help for the BBullpen. I think Girardi may have finally killed BBetances.

They've pretty much ransacked Scranton Wilkes-Barre, so there's no real help left there. This team is in a tailspin and they're going to have to decide if they're staying in it or sticking with the original rebuilding plan.

Chance Adams, maybe? Although he's not on the 40-man. They've got so many college arms/quad AAA guys turned SPs turned back into RPs and not really finding a home (Warren, Mitchell, Holder, Chad Green, Tyler Webb, even Shreve). Girardi needs to find a couple of them he likes. Or Cash needs to trade for someone before the Nats get them all.

Adams has been great, but he still only has 50 or so innings above AA.
