Comments on: How much it all costs http://riveraveblues.com/2009/04/how-much-it-all-costs-9794/ A New York Yankees Blog Mon, 28 May 2012 08:05:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Rich http://riveraveblues.com/2009/04/how-much-it-all-costs-9794/#comment-317871 Rich Sat, 04 Apr 2009 22:08:51 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=9794#comment-317871 I just meant hit enough to play the OF. His OPS+ was 102 last season, probably because of getting HBP by Cabrera in May, but he still has to prove that he can get back to being a 120ish OPS+ hitter, which would justify putting him in the OF.

That's just the way baseball accounting works. Not a stupid question though. Because he signed a Major League contract. That’s just the way baseball accounting works. Not a stupid question though.

Nady hit .311/.354/.508 which looks EXACTLY like his “fluke” 2008 line of .305/.357/.510 Swisher hit .231/.365/.371 which looks disturbingly similar to his “fluke” 2008 line of .219/.332/.410 for the 100th time, i believe Swisher will be the long term option, but MAYBE, just MAYBE we should just give Nady a month??</i> my point was, shouldn't we require Swisher to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING before we trade/bench Nady? Spring Training numbers mean nothing, but for both players they are an extension of the 2008 season. what does that mean? i don't know. possibly nothing. i know we all love Swisher and want him to do well, but right now, i am really glad we kept both of those guys. this is cross posted from the Nady/SF thread:

Doesn't even give him a chance, but I know that he doesn't have a great future with the bat. Maybe his ceiling in a Bartlett type player but this just takes his way to improve away. I did think all the props he got from scouts was a little crazy, but he could have a slight chance of improvement with the bat. Putting him in this role takes that development away though.

He's a no-hit, all-field short stop. That's perfect for your backup backup infielder. He has never been a hitter, and no one in the Yanks organization really thinks he can.
