Who cares he's a young player with very good upside about to enter his prime. You are confusing guys who strikeout to guys that are 2 outcome hitters.

Shin Soo Choo struck out at same rate as Marcel Ozuna. Age difference aside i know which one I'd take.

Don't want Ozuna anyways. Flawed player who benefited from high BABIP. He'll regress.
Ozuna is the type of player Machinehead is advocating against.

This is a bad hockey team.
Castro and Hicks are the best candidates to be replaced in my opinion. Preferably with guys who can get on base and steal bases to diversify the offense.
Frazier really struggled in LF when he played there. LF is arguably tougher to play than CF in Yankee Stadium.
Ellsbury will be gone. Yankees will eat a bunch of money to make it happen.
Who said anything about Ozuna though?
christian Yelich has a lower career strikeout rate than Mike Trout. what are you guys talking about? and he strikes out at a rate lower than league average. Yelich is a great player, not sure why Marlins would move him. Also, Yankees have a logjam in the outfield with Frazier, Hicks, Judge, Gardner
What about the rotation? Does Tanaka opt out? If he does do you negotiaate at all with him or let him walk? What about CC? Do they land generationally touted Otani?
Sevy-Gray-(Tanaka?)-Montgomery-Chance Adams/Cheap vet like Garcia?

Fireeeee sale!
I would move Frazier for Yelich. Gary Denbo loves Clint Frazier.
Let Gardner and hicks battle it out for CF playing time.
It's almost impossible for anyone to be worse than Collins was this past season. I mean, with a better manager I legitimately think that team goes 77-85. That's a large gap and rarely will a manager cost or gain you 7 wins but I felt he did this season
At least Collins understood he was managing the Mets. Mickey Callaway calls the Mets one of the greatest franchises in the world. Not sure he realizes which NY team hired him.

Drury and Laviolette Must Go
I read he communicates with the players well, which is exactly the opposite of what the media reported about TC.

Watching the Callaway press conference right now. This guy says the right things, but he hasn't yet experienced a day in Panic City (as his GM called it) when one his pitchers has a "sore arm" and might need TJ surgery. Lets see how he deals with all of it. I hope he changes the Mets culture, but its not likely that anyone can.

That's okay, the Yankees have some punchable faces too. Some are guys that punch opposition players being held down by the puncher's teammates. Nice that Verlander got a little retribution for his former team and fan base.

It's all so tiresome
Hicks does get on-base. Problem with Hicks is he's still got to prove himself. He's had 400 really good PA's in his career. If he is as good next year as this year he is a borderline all-star.

This is a bad hockey team.
He did very little in the second half and playoffs. Is the real Hicks the guy from the first half of the season or the guy that he's been the rest of career? I don't trust him personally.

Hicks barely played in the 2nd half, if we're going to be fair.
He had a good DS and a crappy CS. That goes for a few other guys as well (Gardner, in particular, Judge was the reverse.)

Hicks has been a decent player outside of his garbage 1st year with the Yankees and has an elite skillset (5-tool player).
He was 3.9 bWar/3.3 fWar in only 89 games played Lol, draws walks at a great clip and is borderline elite defensively. Yankees fans are getting spoiled or are underrating him.

Been using the Mets in RBI 17. Beasting it up with Flores but I can't get a hit to save my life with Conforto. This is not ok.
I think it's just because he had a raunchy second half compared to his first off.

Dammit, man. Let me dream. It's all I have anymore!
FWIW a friend of mine sees Francessa fairly often at his job and he told him last night Girardi likely will be dismissed today or tomorrow and that that he's not coming back. Let's see what happens. I'm thinking it can't occur before the end of the month because the league generally doesn't want personnel announcements once you reach the World Series
