Boone is righty too. Should have known. Putting myself in timeout.

I didn't word it well, I'll give you that when was the last time the Yankees traded a prospect that became something, aside from Shane Greene and Ian Kennedy?

#LegalizePEDs or just allow certain forms of it

Austin Jackson isn't bad..

 

[DeadsetAce]

He knows the deal liking a 7 week old pic too .

He's the only other I can think of. Yankees either do a good job selling their garbage or a terrible job scouting and developing talent.

Cano and Melky are the only two homegrown talents that they let get away I can think of in recent times that have made a difference.

the Killer B's were supposed to have next  

Dellin is a damn good pitcher, Banuelos fell off the earth, and i don't even know what happened to Brackman

Reminds me of Generation K for the Mets.

They had something decent with Joba initally but botched that. Gardner is a really solid pro. Robertson is excellent. In general though, that farm/development is really underwhelming.

8 out of their 9 starting hitters aren't homegrown.

4 out of their 5 starters aren't homegrown.

I still don't get the whole ped's thing man some say they do nothing, empirical evidence says they do something, I just don't get it.

He always makes a valid argument but idk man. Those big users were on a different level back then. Idk if it's just depleted pitching.

I'm a big believer of everyone should be on steroids ...

Yep. MLB needs to hand them out and let guys take them under doctor's supervision.

I want to see pitchers throwing 110 and 600ft homers.

 

[madj55]

I'm not. Imo what Herrera did should get him suspended.

Why should it get him suspended? After reading the comments in here before seeing the play I thought the ball went over his head, but the ball literally would've nailed Lawrie right in the numbers on the back. He got ejected and will get fined, but I wouldn't suspend him over that.

 

[jumpman ii]

He did point at lawrie's head

Tyler Clippard in the category?

Miss him :\

We gonna need some bullpen help along the way this year

Casey Janssen should be back in early May, so that'd definitely be a help as long as he isn't throwing like he was in ST.

I'm disappointed in Blake Treinen so far, homie hasn't been able to handle the late game pressure unfortunately.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

yeah he threatened lawrie's life in the future basically. that **** aint cool. it's a game and a job, not let's go out and headhunt. fine him, suspend him, move on. bush-league stuff by this royals team. they're better than that.

clippard, forgot about him, been very good.

 

[jewbacca2]

Clippard was another Yankee prospect.
