2017 Yankee minor league news and notes..

[Melancynic]

This is not an isolated instance of CP making this sort of remark, as you well know from being a frequent contributor on this forum. I don't understand why someone needs to inject this sort of "humor" into a comment and if you do, "dude", then I guess you and CP share the same sort of twisted outlook on life. Wishing for someone's death is not funny and I don't care what the context might be. If you wish to "spice up" a boring forum conversation by suggesting that someone put a bullet in someone's head, well I don't quite know how to react. I have a sense of humor and a truly funny comment is always welcome. I fail to see the humor of such comments.

Purposely or not, you're not understandng how humor works. It's not literal. When someone has a long day at work and comes home to say "Man, I'm gonna jump off a bridge" you're implying we should all react as if he/she is suicidal and must be taken to Bellvue for observation. It's exaggeration, hyperbole, etc. for effect.

Again, he isn't wishing for Kozma's death as I already said in my last post. Are you really not getting this? You're a smart guy, come on now. I'm guessing you're just not a fan of his humor because even a kid can recognize he isn't actually advocating for Kozma's murder. This is silly.

I think sticking with genital mutilation would be a better choice than threats of murder, but that's just me

Is Mateo going to throw another hissy-fit since he wasn't promoted too?

Let's agree to disagree and move on.

Wade is murdering life. Put a bullet in Kozma.

This is absolutely not allowed, and even if it was, it's in very poor taste. Watch how you word things.

I honestly can't believe you are weighing in on this. Where were you when a poster calls someone else a douche and tells them to 'shut their mouth?'

This was just an innocent exaggeration/expression. God damn. If I had said, 'Put a fork in Kozma' That doesn't mean I want someone to stab Kozma with a fork.

PS: Hard to know what falls within community standards when the community standards link is broken.

Fair enough, sir.

I wrote that Kozma should be slingshot to the moon yesterday. I wonder if that's allowed.

Do the moon people even want him?

His stock has gotta be rising again right? He might end up a very valuable trade piece.

[Yankyfan]

Could be but he has a YS swing. Something has to give though. Way to many prospects in the OF. The R5 could be a bloodbath ..

[awy]

give him at least a season to re-establish value.

No, we're not allowed to say anything meanie meanie on this board because there are apparently way too many overly sensitive adults on this forum.

I think the key word there is "adults".

[ppa79]

Frazier needs to start hitting. What good is a lighting quick bat if you are hitting .209.

[awy]

i think we gotta look at observed batspeed as a function of approach and ability.

you want to see batspeed become a weapon in terms of letting the player adjust and react to late movement, or give himself more time before swinging.

if observed batspeed is high because the guy is taking a longer swing path to generate that speed, or he swings too hard and unbalanced, then that's not a plus.

Need to move some of them, plain and simple. Trade them for guys not subject to the draft for 2-3 years.

Bingo!! A few Gamel type trades would be awesome.

no, pretty sure it was "sensitive."
