Big Mike started out strong, but got shaky in the 3rd giving up a HR and then and RBI double.

Not to start his farewell tour, but Headley has had a nice major league career, and now he's 33. All good things, and all that ...

Headley will be a broadcaster one day. Hell rip the yankees cause his career died here when Gleyber comes up.

Who are all of these people that you speak of? Give examples or take your false narrative somewhere else. I haven't seen one single person ever say that Didi wasn't a part of the future.

I get it. You're trying to make yourself out to be some kind of genius? You'll have to find a different avenue.

Didi is a nice player
arniefez : 4:39 pm : link : reply
one of my favorites. However there is no metric or eye test that I can find that shows him to be a top 5 defensive SS. Please link your source. Last year Didi's DWAR was 0. That ranked him 19th out of 23 qualified SS. His batting WAR was 2.2 which ranked him 12th out of 19 qualified SS. His 751 OPS ranked him 10th out of 19 qualified SS. I'm not picking on Didi like I said he's a favorite of mine but we Yankee fans might think he's producing more the numbers reveal. He doesn't qualify yet in 2017 because he missed the first month but both his defense and batting numbers so far are about the same numbers as 2016. I think once the season ends if there's a team with a good young, controllable starting pitcher that needs a SS the Yankees might be a match and offer a choice of Wade or Didi.

Does that make me a hero?

Didi looks smooth to me under the eye test but I don't think he would rank Top 5. Watch guys like Lindor or Andrelton field, they're on a whole other level.

StingerProf : 5/22/2017 8:51 pm : link
Call up seems to be the beginning of the end of Headley at 3rd base this season. When he is hot he can spray the ball around and make good baseball plays, but those streaks do not come often enough. At this point with him back to playing shaky defense, he is no longer better than a replacement level player. He can serve as a nice 1b/3b switch hitting bench player and rid the team of Carter. Good depth for sure behind Bird when he returns. Going to be even more fun to watch this team with another young stud contributing to a legit pennant race.
BBS, you are wrong  
manh george : 5/22/2017 8:53 pm : link
In 2015, despite hitting well, he was definitely considered to be holding the place for a future prospect. And that came up again last year when he got off to the slow start, even before they got Gleyber Not from one person. From a bunch.

On a more constructive note, I think it is important to consider that this isn't Pineda's type of weather. He's a big, heavyset kid who definitely has better location when he can loosen up and extend. 6'7", 265.

mfsd : 5/22/2017 8:56 pm : link
consider Didi to be the better defensive SS than their prospects right now. That could change, but for now it definitely seems like he's considered part of the future.

I don't know what he's done the last 2 seasons, but the improvements he's made hitting lefties is amazing.

We aren't talking about 2015. It is now 2017 and we've all seen enough of Didi to know how good he is. Flashing back 2 years is disingenuous. RIGHT NOW, no SANE Yankee fan has said anything about Didi not being a part of the future. Sure, arniefez and company that don't watch the games may think differently, let's focus on the respected posters around here. And THIS year, not 2015 when nobody knew what Didi could be.

I swear you guys will invent ways to criticize Castro. The guys makes a lunging backhander on a ball right up the middle and throws across his body heading the opposite way and that's "Lollygagging" it?

Don't mistake my use of a term I look for opportunities to use with a desire to crap on Castro. I'm a fan of his.
