The kid is about 2 years from MLB level, if everything goes well. We moved Mookie to the outfield to get him in the lineup. Do you really believe Panda and Hanley are still going to be at their current positions in 2017? Do you really think this team will keep every player it currently has on its roster over the next two seasons? Do these people even follow baseball?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674759825438836962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-90019052888707316792015-03-02T09:31:37.756-08:002015-03-02T09:31:37.756-08:00The difference?

Moncada and Castillo are young players locked into long-term contracts (as is Sandoval, who is only 28), while Beltran, Ellsbury, and McCann are older players locked into long-term contracts. It should be obvious which presents more risk.<br /><br />As for Tanaka, he threw 1315 innings in Japan over seven seasons between age 18 and 25. That averages to nearly 188 innings per year, which is a lot for a young arm. Was anyone surprised that he landed on the disabled list last year while pitching for the Yankees? Did we learn nothing from Daisuke Matsuzaka?<br /><br />Lastly, how is spending $265 million the same spending $438 million?<br /><br />Deadlines are a bitch, eh, Madden?FenFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093124081174881768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-17990505326397739622015-02-28T18:34:00.956-08:002015-02-28T18:34:00.956-08:00Hahahaah! All four comments under the article are ...Hahahaah! All four comments under the article are gold.<br /><br />Jai<br />I guess the real question is why don't your worry about your own pathetic organization :)<br /><br />Jai<br />The Red Sox have a budget and they don't go above it. They follow a budget. Sure their budget is bigger than most teams but it is still a budget. The Yankees have never had a budget ...<br /><br />Joshua Powell<br />This article is complete bogus! Its never been the money on the yankees contracts, its the years. ... You act like having outfield depth is bad thing.<br /><br />evilone<br />Why are the Red Sox hailed as geniuses for all the insane spending this offseason? Why are Yankee fans such Titty babies? Two good questions.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
