YANKEES OFFSEASON THREAD: Lock This

If/when Teix gets injured.. Just move McCann to first... Gary Sanchez then gets more play time..


You can call up Austin Romine, who I cannot ask about his Maple Syrup Conglomerate :frown: ... OR keep it Sanchez & McCann, when Sanchez needs rest, McCann catches... Headley to 1st, Castro to 3rd, Ackley to 2nd.

There was talk that Castro may need to play 3rd on occasion.. Or permanently in the future

I'm feeling an 85-77 season... Bullpen will carry us through July with decent production from our bats, and then we'll look putrid in August & September as all of our bats die.


Then going into 2017, Free Agency it's really just about re-signing Aroldis... Then backing up the brinks for Strasburg. The FA market is absolutely horrible next year.. There's not a single non-pitcher I would want to sign.. And then a 85-77 season in 2017.

We were ranked 13th for best minor league.

We have a lot of international guys that we splurged on a couple years ago that may change our fortunes in the future.
 
Tanaka already left camp :smh:

Yankees Will No Longer Accept Print-At-Home Tickets, Thus Screwing Their Fans

As the Yankees are continuously striving to implement technological advances to provide our fans with a ticketing experience that is unparalleled, convenient, safe and secure, the Yankees are excited to announce, as a complement to traditional hard stock paper tickets, the availability of mobile ticketing for the 2016 baseball season. Print-at-home paper tickets (PDFs) are being discontinued so as to further combat fraud and counterfeiting of tickets associated with print-at-home paper tickets (PDFs). In addition to traditional hard stock paper tickets, the Yankees will be offering the opportunity for fans to receive mobile tickets on a fan’s Smartphone.

Mobile ticketing is a completely voluntary, opt-in feature. All season ticket licensees and group ticket buyers will automatically receive traditional hard stock paper tickets. For fans purchasing individual game tickets online at yankees.com, Ticketmaster.com, or via Ticketmaster telephone, you will have the option of receiving traditional hard stock paper tickets or mobile tickets at the time of initial purchase. Fans purchasing individual game tickets at the Yankee Stadium Ticket Office or at Yankees Clubhouse Shops will receive only traditional hard stock paper tickets (and will not have an option to receive mobile tickets or the option to convert their tickets to mobile tickets). Print-at-home paper tickets (PDFs) will no longer be available.

The Yankees would have you believe that eliminating print-at-home tickets is entirely motivated by a desire to prevent fraud, but the reality is that it has everything to do with the team’s partnership with Ticketmaster and ongoing war against StubHub.

When ticket resellers use StubHub, they can sell the ticket for as little as they’d like, but Ticketmaster sets artificial price floors that prevent sellers from listing tickets below face value. This practice has recently been called out by the New York Attorney General, as it deprives fans the opportunity to buy tickets on a fair market.

The Yankees’ wish to avoid the realities of supply and demand is the reason the team touts Ticketmaster as its official resale partner, and this new anti-PDF policy is a blatant attempt at further undercutting StubHub. The Yankees can’t force anyone to use Ticketmaster instead of StubHub, but it can make using the latter a much bigger pain in the *** by eliminating printable tickets.

Say you’re a Yankees fan, and you decide you want to duck out of work early and go to a ****** Twins-Yankees game on a Wednesday afternoon in August. There are tickets available for $19 on StubHub, but they are selling for face value on Ticketmaster, which will deliver an electronic ticket to your phone. You can’t get in with a PDF ticket, so unless you can figure out a way to get the StubHub seller’s physical tickets in your hands within a few hours, you’re stuck paying full price on Ticketmaster. You’ve been boned.

Yankees COO Lonn Trost gives a snobby and elitist explanation for new ticket policies

“The problem below market at a certain point is that if you buy a ticket in a very premium location and pay a substantial amount of money. It’s not that we don’t want that fan to sell it, but that fan is sitting there having paid a substantial amount of money for a ticket and [another] fan picks it up for a buck-and-a-half and sits there, and it’s frustrating to the purchaser of the full amount . . . And quite frankly, the fan may be someone who has never sat in a premium location. So that’s a frustration to our existing fan base.”

Trost in hot water after a comment like that, and rightfully so :smh: .
 
so i'm not good enough to sit behind home plate...? :stoneface: :rolleyes

this whole thing is BS & the Stadium is gonna be even more empty than it has been
 
Yeah this ticket news is a joke. We're better off going to Citi Field for the Subway Series than any home game it seems :smh: .

So apparently there is a StubHub 'hub' 2 blocks from the Stadium where you'll be able to retrieve your tickets. To me that just means it's going to be chaos walking into there before first pitch :x .
 
We're not sophisticated enough to sit in premium seating.

We don't have proper pinky form on our drinking.
