Forum: Player Performance Threads

Hey Aaron Boone, please quit trotting Chad Green into a game.

I'm a known fanboy of Frazier and very bullish on his future, but objectively the question about him remains - will he be able to translate his elite prospect status and minor league dominance to the Major League level? I'm sure there will be ups and downs and polarizing opinions on the kid, but hopefully the injuries to Stanton/Hicks are the crack in the door that he needs to get traction in the bigs. Regardless of whether or not it happens yesterday was a great moment for him after...

Loaisiga went on the IL with a strained shoulder, Cessa will start tonight if they play, and Adams was promoted. Adams has a 4.80 ERA for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, which is slightly higher than his 4.78 ERA for them last year. He had a 7.04 ERA for the Yankees last year. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=adams-008cha has his statistics. He was supposed to start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre yesterday, but they got rained out.

One game in. 1-for-1, with a run, 1 HR, 4 RBIs, 2 walks and 1 HBP. That's an OPS of 1.000, a SLG of 4.000, and an OPS of 5.000. Not a bad start.

After starting 0-for-9, he got his first hit. This is the thirteenth player topic I've started this year, which is as many as last year, and in 2017 I only started five.

Sanchez leads the majors with 4 errors already. He is on pace to have 130 errors.

He hit his first career home run, and John Sterling didn't have a call for his name. Tauchman followed with a ground-rule double to left, meaning that Estrada came close to having his first career home run be part of back-to-back. On August 13, 2016, Tyler Austin batted seventh, Aaron Judge batted eighth, and they both homered in their first career plat appearance. Estrada's home run could help him stay in MLB and have Wade or Tauchman sent down for Loaisiga.

Starting this thread for the perpetually underappreciated veteran, likely in his final year with the team. He's on pace right now for yet another 2+ WAR season. Despite the low BA, he's posting the highest ISO of his career, his lowest K-rate ever, and his highest walk rate since 2010. Yes, he should be a backup at this point, and yet he's still our best defensive OFer, at age 35. Edit: "Jett" should have one T. :lol:

He was promoted, Thairo Estrada was demoted without playing, and Gregorius went on the 60 day IL to get Urshela on the 40 man roster. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/u/urshegi01.shtml has his statistics. He had a .608 OPS in 46 plate appearances with Toronto last year. He made his MLB debut for Cleveland on June 9, 2015, and he went by Giovanny Urshela then. Including 2015 and 2017 with Cleveland and 2018 with Toronto, he has a .589 OPS in 499 plate appearances. He has 8 home...

After being traded for yesterday, he was put on the 25 man roster and is batting fifth as the DH in the second game of today's doubleheader. Through 2 innings, he walked on four pitches, Frazier flied out, and five Yankees struck out, albeit Hicks took a low pitch and should have been given a walk. Yesterday he entered the 40 man roster when Loaisiga was put on the 60 day IL. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/moralke01.shtml has his statistics. He has a .783 career OPS, but only...

He has not impressed me at all so far.

After a solid season in 2018 and a great playoffs, Tanaka is starts 2019 with a solid performance and a win. Here’s hoping he stays healthy. In my mind he’s our ace.

Today he pitched 4 2/3 innings for Tampa hosting Lakeland. He pitched 4 2/3 innings with 1 hit, 1 run that was earned, 1 walk, and 6 strikeouts. The only hit he allowed was a single by second baseman Kody Clemens, who is the youngest of Roger's four children. Considering that Kody is in A Advanced and this is Sabathia's last year, I bet Kody wasn't expecting to get a hit off CC. Sabathia left down 1-0 and was replaced by Janson Junk. No MLB player has had the first or last name "Junk." A...

He is batting fourth and playing third. Some fans are made that he's in the field and Urshela is on the bench. The reason is that Sanchez is DHing day game after a night game. Andujar had a Spring Performance Thread that was locked on April 1, Maynerd said a new thread could be started, and nobody did. In a small sample, he's off to a bad start with a .445 OPS, no extra base hits, 1 RBI, and 1 run from 14 plate appearances of which 13 were at-bats. Mike Ford was sent down.

Come on, give this man a thread! Lost in the Sanchquake and Clintquake today, he was tremendous. More with command today than K-power. A positive early-season story.

It hard to believe that, despite the recent rash of promotions of huge prospects, the Yankees incumbent All-Star second baseman is STILL one of the 10 youngest players on a Major League roster.

This excerpt from an upcoming book about the Yankee front office should get this thread off to a good start whether positive or negative towards Cashman.:D https://nypost.com/2019/03/20/inside-the-derek-jeter-brian-cashman-feud-that-festered-for-years-before-stanton-heist/ https://www.hmhbooks.com/shop/books/Inside-the-Empire/9781328589354
