NFT: Yanks promote Tyler Austin?? Gross..

DennyInDenville : 8/17/2017 2:56 pm
Should have been Andujar...

Going around Twitter.

Bird played last night for aaa btw first game back
Austin likely takes over for Cooper, so that's OK by me.

Birds 1st game back  
Beer Man : 8/17/2017 3:00 pm : link
0-2 with a SO. He was limited to 5 innings. I didn't see the game, but there is probably a lot of rust that needs to be knocked off. I wonder where Austin fits in. They already have a 1st base platoon, and I don't really see him in the OF rotation. DH maybe?
Why would you rather austin over cooper?  
Keith : 8/17/2017 3:02 pm : link
I've been really impressed with Cooper, professional hitter.
Andujar profiles perfectly for DH and some 3B for us  
DennyInDenville : 8/17/2017 3:04 pm : link
Immediate jolt. Even if it's DH 3-4 days a week and 1 day at 3B
I wouldn't worry about it.  
Keith : 8/17/2017 3:05 pm : link
Won't they just call him up in 2 weeks?
When Bird gets back I think we might have to consider DFA Frazier  
DennyInDenville : 8/17/2017 3:05 pm : link
Unless his glove is that important for us, there's no reason not to keep Cooper, Headley, Bird, Andujar

Yeah, not sure I understand this move. Nothing against Austin but I don't think he is an upgrade from Cooper from what I have seen so far.

Yeah that's true.

I'm overreacting a bit
Austin is a true 1b  
superspynyg : 8/17/2017 3:13 pm : link
We have 2 3b already.
Cooper has been pretty good  
B in ALB : 8/17/2017 3:21 pm : link
Austin brings less than nothing at the dish. And Cooper has been fine at first.

Austin is not a true 1B imo he's another refsnyder
Austin was already on the 40.  
Heisenberg : 8/17/2017 4:11 pm : link
Not convinced he's better than Cooper, but the Yanks oughtta know better than I do.
I love Austin  
RasputinPrime : 8/17/2017 4:16 pm : link
but this move seems odd. Cooper has been pretty good for us. Perhaps because Austin can also fill in RF?

get the 40 man rotation ready for September.
It isn't quite as odd...  
BC Eagles94 : 8/17/2017 4:32 pm : link
since he hasn't been optioned to AAA for 10 days. So his getting called up has to be due to someone going on DL. The big question is who is that?

Why not DFA Holliday. At least Fraziers glove has some utility. Plenty of DH options better than him at this point

No need to DFA anybody! All are on the 40 & rosters expand September 1st!

My guess is Chapman. And rather than bring up another relief pitcher, we're adding another bat in a National League park where an extra pinch-hitter may come in handy.
It's quite simple...  
Dunedin81 : 8/17/2017 4:48 pm : link
bring up Austin so you can send him back down when Bird is ready, hopefully in a few days. No additional analysis necessary.

Why play Austin over Cooper, though?

I agree. But if that was the assumption if they were going to dump
Someone he makes more sense than Frazier to me. That's all

Cooper went on the DL, that's why Austin came up.

I thought this was a great opportunity to put Chapman on the DL. He has an ERA over 6 against Boston. It's not like the Yanks don't have anyone else who cannot close.
Matt Holliday  
Beer Man : 8/17/2017 5:28 pm : link
starts his rehab at A-Tampa tomorrow. Castro starts his at AAA-SWB tomorrow. With Castro, Holliday, and Bird all in rehab, hopefully we can soon get a little more pop into the line-up.
I  
mitch300 : 8/17/2017 5:32 pm : link
hope that when they bring Holliday back up he shows that he can hit hit again. The Holiday that came back from his previous DL stint clearly was not ready.
What happened to Cooper?

Frazier plays a gold glove 3rd base. He is not hitting but makes up for it defensively.. the guy that should be DFA is Holliday I am not giving up on Frazier just yet for a guy who can't stay healthy,
