NFT: Yankees: Stanton Back to IL

But Kay just said it on his radio show. I'd think he's a pretty good source. He said that Boone said it, FWIW.

but I haven't missed him at all this year. Take your time, big fella.

there’s magic with this current roster and no need to force anyone back right now.

Does anyone know if there are records for most games on IR for a team in a season?

...

I posted about it last night, but it's actually going to be a difficult decision in terms of who needs to go down when he's ready as it is - so, this really doesn't bother me.

The Yanks don't have options on Maybin or Morales - so, they'd likely lose those guys. Optioning Estrada back to SWB leaves us with just 4 infielders.

Frazier would have been the very obvious choice as of yesterday morning given his struggles since returning from IL. But, he just hit 2 HR's last night and might start to make that a much tougher call.

The Yanks just scored 10+ runs in 3 consecutive games for the first time in over a decade. I get that 2 of these have been in Baltimore and it's a tiny park - but the offense really just isn't missing Stanton much at all right now and to be honest, I don't really care if he's out another month. I'd rather have Didi back.

Absolutely.

At risk of being flamed, I am not missing him away from the team, however.

Ells and Stanton alone, jeez. Then again guys like Judge and Sev are cheap right now.

What about the record for projected WAR on IL?

It is pretty crazy, however, that this guy went on the IL with a bicep injury - that became a shoulder injury - and is how a calf injury.

How do you develop a strain from a HBP?

Whatever is going on with him this year, something isn't right. All of this just seems really strange and none of it makes a whole lot of sense.

Jints has been on a roll recently. But he hasn't started tonight's game thread yet. What should we do?

I guess we'll use this as the thread and hope that Batman comes through at some point.

Sevy just signed a new contract and is no longer cheap. He counts $10M against the cap. Below are the #s from spotrac (for the largest hits)...

Quote:

Giancarlo Stanton (10-day)....22M Jacoby Ellsbury (60-day)........21.86M Didi Gregorius (60-day...........11.75M Luis Severino (60-day)...........10M James Paxton (10-day)...........8.58M Dellin Betances (60-day).........7.25M

This so F-ing comical
