ajr2456 : 11/18/2022 3:35 pm
Sigh.


IKF - ( New Window )
I know  
Semipro Lineman : 11/18/2022 3:42 pm : link
many here wanted him gone but that contract doesn't mean he's the starter next year
Brutally fun franchise.

.
At that price, why not.  
Mad Mike : 11/18/2022 3:48 pm : link
Affordable backup and probably tradeable. If he's getting meaningful time ahead of the young guys though,,,
I get it but not a fan  
Crazed Dogs : 11/18/2022 3:49 pm : link
they should just have committed to the kids.... Cabrera, Peraza and Volpe

Might hold you to this! He needs to be a bench guy....please.
6 million that should have gone towards a reliever

He should not be on the team at all. He will be a crutch that Boone will lean on instead of player a better, younger player.
he was in his arbitration years  
wigs in nyc : 11/18/2022 4:38 pm : link
there’s no way they were going to non-tender him. It’s not as if he was a FA and anyone could’ve signed him. They just avoided arbitraion and agreed a term ahead of time.

They should have non-tendered him. The Dodgers are about to release Clay fucking Bellinger if they can't find a trade partner, why should we have any loyalty to this guy?

IKF is Tony Gwynn compared to “Clay fucking Bellinger” the past two seasons…
Clay Bellinger  
Crazed Dogs : 11/18/2022 5:26 pm : link
was a bit more stiff as a fielder....IKf has a better glove and bat.....I have Bellinger's baseball card...crazy
I can't  
Semipro Lineman : 11/18/2022 6:07 pm : link
believe that I just looked up IKF and Bellinger stats to make a comparison. Damnit Mike, you own me that minute and a half back because it was a weak ass counter argument. IKF produced a better war offensive in this season alone than Bellinger's last three combined. Come on man
I did not articulate myself well.  
Mike from SI : 11/18/2022 6:47 pm : link
Was trying to make the point that loyalty doesn't/shouldn't play a part in these decisions, so wtf is going on with this one? That said, I didn't make the argument well, so I'll take the L.
Infield roll call  
shyster : 11/18/2022 6:54 pm : link
Donaldson: struck out 16 of his last 25 ABs post-season.

Cabrera: 2-28 postseason with 12 SOs; opponents have scouted a weakness on fastballs up.

Volpe: .236 at Scranton with 30 SOs in 89 ABs.

DJL: broke down in 2022 and will be 35 in 2023.

Torres: tried to trade him at deadline and may still want to.

Peraza: promising.

With that context, IKF at $6M good move.



I am sick of these idiotic mouthbreathers  
Ron from Ninerland : 11/18/2022 7:00 pm : link
that call themselves Yankee fans. This is a competent middle infielder who hit .261, way more than expected and improved in the second half. Even if he's a below average shortstop he can certainly play 2nd or 3rd. Or he can be traded. $6 million dollars is peanuts for the Yankees. Should that Yankees have non-tendered him out of spite ?

This move was a no brainer.
Oh, please. The guy sucks.  
Dave in Hoboken : 11/18/2022 7:03 pm : link
Just remember not to complain when he sucks during the season. Amazing how dumb some fans are. Then, they'll wonder why the offense sucks for long stretches of the year. This guy being one of the reasons. He sucks.

The team has sucked for 15 years? You’re the poster child for why every person on the planet hates Yankees fans. Yeah, they’ve really sucked the past 15 years. You’re the one that needs to fuck off you entitled little bitch

They've sucked for 15 years ? They've had a winning record all fifteen years, they've gone to the playoffs 11 of those years and won 1 world series. Why don't you think before you post ? Better yet go root for the Mets.

IKF batted .271 in 2021 with 172 base hits (12th in MLB) batting leadoff for Texas.

In 2022, he was batting exactly .271 at the All-Star break and actually tailed off somewhat in BA the second half, but did finally hit a few home runs.

Cunty McCuntface says what?


I got ahead fo myself...12 years. The Yanks have won their division 4 times since 2009. In my day, that's 4 playoff appearances. In this watered down bullshit era of the meaningless regular seaon where you slobber over the long ball (and my balls), they suck. And they will keep sucking (like you on my balls) because they can, and you'll continue to lap it up...(like my balls).

I don’t agree with Ron often, but he is 100% correct. You mouthbreathers have NO idea what its like to have a bad team. The Yanks make the playoffs every year- which gives them a shot. The playoffs are a crapshoot- ask any Mets or Dodgers fan.

The same ones who bitch and moan here and play off this “I’m smarter than you air” are the same ones who were botching about how the Yanks weren’t spending on par with the Mets and Dodgers- because THAT would get them a title. Once again- the same stupidity that we see on this thread- just changing the target.

I suffered through the REAL down years when the Yanks were not even middle of the pack- and many of the same posters in this thread are the same ones who whine incessantly about how “George would never have allowed this”- well, George was personally responsible for those late 1980’s and early 1990’s horror shows- and the only way they got out was by Stick Michael getting free reign for an extended period of time while George was suspended.

It is sad that the know nothings who bitch and moan the loudest are now the face of the Yanks fan based- like several regular posters on this site regarding the Yanks. When I see the those posters complain about a move, I am assured that it must be a good move because they are almost always wrong- but are the loudest in their ignorance.
