There is a rumor that the yanks might be interested in a trade for Col allstar 3b Nolan Arenado. This I would love. I would give up Andujar, Gray (if they want him) or Clint Frazier and a mid range prospect or 2 for Arenado.
He is a gold glove power hitting 3b. I also have no doubt that we could re sign him next year. I think he is better than Machado and Harper. He is only 27 years old. I also know that Coors field help inflate a lot of guys numbers but I truly believe he is legit power guy.
Imagine.....
CF Hicks
RF Judge
3B Arenado
DH Stanton
C Sanchez
2B Torres
1B Voit/Bird
SS Tulo
LF Gardner
The division would be ours!!!!!
I know this is only a rumor cooked up by a writer but this gets me salivating!!! I like Andujar but he is not Arenado.

Clearly it’s done wonders for you.
We don't need yours either. Yeah, rich can be a bit self important at times, but you calling him names comes off worse.
I’m calling them like I see them.
Do some research. I’m not the one who has acted like a condescending asshole Yankee thread after Yankee thread. Just look at this one.
Truth hurts.

I gotta say he is right here. Rich seems to have the need to write an essay about the Yankees in which he chooses to attack other posters and speak as if his take is gospel. He recently said he wouldn’t “lower himself to that level” while talking about what another guys opinon was. Rich writes good points about the Yankees but tries to be verbose and arrogant.
We are all just talking about what we think the Yankees should do here and there, none of us are the GM or the owner so we don’t know anything for certain. Even if you know someone that’s with the Yankees and get some info, plans can change very quickly in any business. It’s ok for people to have a different opinion then the next guy. It’s the point of a message board.
I played baseball and football at a D1 school and have learned a lot about playing both sports, but when it comes to what the Giants and Yankees should do to improve rosters I am not nearly as informed as a lot of the posters on here. And that is why I have loved this site for maybe 16/17 years. Shitting on someone else on a message board because they don’t hold the exact same thoughts as you is pathetic. Rich is not a victim here he is an instigator. When he is just talking about the Yankees and not trying to belittle someone else he definitely makes great points, however, when he chooses to insult someone else he shouldn’t be defended.

Do we really need to call people cunts or bitches? Yes rich has a holier than thou attitude and it is fine to call him on that as he is quite condescending at times. But can we leave the foul name calling language out of the conversation? I'm a sailor, so I am used to language that would make your head turn, but it is unnecessary especially on a sports board. Would you call him those names to his face?
As for the research part, I'm on almost every Yankee thread and have been for years, so I pretty much know each Yankee poster's style and who knows their stuff and who is full of bull.
Did you call him a cunt or a bitch? No, I remember that thread. Call him out fine, no problem.
I am not defending rich. It is the name calling. My point is, would you call him a cunt or a bitch to his face? I doubt you would. You don't earn the moral high ground when resorting to vile name calling.
Maybe I have wrongly assumed the moral high ground here. But I really don't need to read the vile name calling and believe me, there are times I'd love to have laced into a few posters where I ended up deleting my post. Like I said, I'm a sailor. There is not a name or word I have not seen or used.
I'll butt out and wait for the next Yanks thread.
I have no doubt that he will pitch well away from New York, we can’t just accept a bag of balls just because he couldn’t handle the pressure here. Teams interested in him are banking on him returning to form.
On a separate note, I keep thinking of Randy Levine when reading you know who’s posts. I mean, I don’t think even Hal Steinbrenner would tell Yankees fans how they should feel about the team’s finances.
You are right, I did not resort to name calling, although I may have wanted to. And there is no place for the tough guy internet crap. But the same goes for Rich. If he spoke to people like this in real life there is a good chance he gets popped in the face.

A few posters want to come on and voice there opinion. Those thoughts seem to go against what Rich feels, or might be off a bit information-wise...Rich belittles them and they get offended and react, and we defend Rich? His act is the same EVERY Yankee thread, and while I appreciate the knowledge and Yankee insight, the attitude and such is what is derailing the threads, not the responses. I was the poster that Rich wouldn’t lower himself to continue to speak with, because I thought the Yankees should spend money because they have the resources and opportunities. I got attacked saying I was an entitled fan, didn’t know what I was talking about and not worthy of discourse. But let’s defend is actions when he gets called out. I know he’s been here a long time, and he does add value MOST of the time, but he needs to be called out, and it his his condescending tone and responses that’s are takingbthreads down...

Section I totally agree with you. The name calling is totally unnecessary. However, Rich needs to stop his routine as well and doesn’t deserve to be defended. I always advocate for people to stop attacking each other on a message board. It’s totally unnecessary in any situation. Rich may not have called him a cunt, but I have seen him continuously do things just as bad with his smarter than the world routine. Either way you are correct it’s not needed, but I maintain what Rich did to the guy is just as bad.
