Yankees lose another SP for 15-18 months

[SgtLanquel]

They are now down to three men (Cole, Britton, Chapman) who could even make the TB Rays pitching staff

The presumed big offensive guns could well push them to low 90s in Wins but this is increasingly resembling the 2019 Red Sox who came off of a 108 win season with an 84win third place sadness

I do not have current Season Win lines but offer a HSO that any number bigger than 94 for Yankees is a decent Under wager

 

[REDEYE]

I have under 101 1/2

That's awesome. 2019 they had 6th ranked ERA in AL....difficult to see them replicating that now and therefore 102 wins would be astounding

 

[SgtLanquel]

Now that Severino is out for 2020, FanGraphs projects #Yankees at only 93 wins with #Rays close behind at 90 (3rd and 4th highest in MLB).

value on both the A's and Rays at 30/1 imo

We'll still win the East.

Friendly add that Yanks also have but five batters (Sanchez, DJL, Torres, Stanton & Judge) who could make current TB Rays OD roster

from 101.5 to 93 just because of Severino ?

They might just go out and buy another pitcher

 

[SgtLanquel]

I have under 101 1/2

Added fun fact: NYY have won more than 101 games just seven times in the 59 years of 162game schedule and they have never done it two years in a row

 

[SgtLanquel]

We'll still win the East.

Preseason optimism is understandable, even though Yanks have just three ALE flags in past 10 seasons

Can't wait to bump this in September.

how about :

Gio Urshela
Mike Tauchman

agree

 

[SgtLanquel]

how about :

Gio Urshela
Mike Tauchman

For sure not MT....and in the presumed scenario where Torres and DJL are inserted into Rays roster there's no room for the talented Urshela....#1 draft pick Willy Adames, Brandon Lowe and Yandy Diaz shut him out

Right calf strain for Stanton


Probably won’t be ready for regular season

An astute Follower on my humbly endowed twitter TL offers friendly retort that Britton would in fact be more of an outside shot to make 2020 TB Rays staff - given that he's fragile (138 IP combined past three yrs), he allows too many men on base (1.28 WHIP past 3 yrs) and he is absurdly overpaid ($36m for those past 138 IP and on the hook for another $26m in 2020-21

Stanton doesn't matter at all, he's just an extra part that's usually broken anyway, average at best outfielder, more of a DH that isn't needed, that spot should be rotated to Sanchez, Andujar, Judge, etc. one of their worst contracts ever !

that is a lot for the cost

how many teams have done it more times ?

Judge ... stress fracture in rib.

Yankees are going to try two weeks of rest but surgery is not off the table.
