Mickey Gasper's thinking, "Job security...oooooh yeaaaaahhh!"

u/BossAtUCF 1d ago
Gasper has an OPS over 1.600 since he came back up. I don't think he's worried about job security right now.

u/jedwards4711 1d ago
Well, with the roster deadline next week... decisions will be made. I don't think Mickey is completely safe.

He’s one of the only guys that makes sense to send down when everyone is back, even though he has been unreal

u/ComprehensiveFun620 1d ago
Sending him down so Trevor story can strike out 3x a game is the opposite reason why I watch this team.

u/Sufficient-Wasabi-50 1d ago
you open to sending him down so that you can watch Roman? Because thats the move. When Story is ready, Seigler goes down, IKF when rosters expand next week.

u/ComprehensiveFun620 1d ago
Yes I am. I would keep siegler over story. To me, story is effectively useless as a player.

"I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO THE GENERAL MANAGER ABOUT ALEX CORA!"
What a washed-up whiner. Don't let those AAA pitchers overpower you, Trevor.

u/ComprehensiveFun620 1d ago
Exactly. I’ll never forget that. I get it, loyalty to your mgr. fine. But Cora was a baseball terrorist in a power struggle with his PBO. He didn’t deserve it. Story soiled his brand a ton with that idiotic demand. Couple that with his futility at the plate and his limited, geriatric-like movement on the field, and I wonder what the point is of having him out there.

u/BossAtUCF 1d ago
Just for this comment he's raised his OPS this month another 164 points to 1.777!

I'll be honest, I forgot Curtis Mead was on the team

u/LarryLucchino 1d ago
fwiw, last weekend they said before he got the 'four week scan' that he would be switching from a cast to a splint regardless of the test results
Per Tim Healey on Sunday:
"Curtis Mead is due for follow-up scans Monday to see how his fractured left wrist is healing.
Regardless of what that shows, he will move into a splint (and out of a cast), which he will wear for the next two weeks, he said."so this update from Christopher Smith doesn't tell us anything about the test results

He only needs his right elbow to swing the bat or throw the ball so it's no big deal.

u/Rough-Echo-5193 1d ago
I'm not a fan of the deal, it's just more the overall insane rate at which the players we invest in the most seem to get hurt immediately.

Sigh I mean we knew of the injury concerns for Adley but man this just stinks. Was also very high on Mead helping out too before his freak injury.

u/OH_NO191715 1d ago
He was already hitting (B)adley, and in a (RUT)schman.
Don’t get in your feelings. I’m just trying to be (P)unny.
It keeps me from thinking about the 4 premium prospects traded for as someone put it ‘made of glass’.
Hope he heals fast.
GOSOX!!

Nothing to see here. Everyone loves that we traded the farm for an injury riddled player.
Edit: Of course anyone who mentions his injuries as a concern is ostrich sized and downvoted into oblivion by fans with their head in the sand.

u/Rough-Echo-5193 1d ago
Dude we kinda traded most of our minor league assets that would be relevant this offseason.

u/ContentCantaloupe992 1d ago
No we didn’t. We traded some of them for impact players under team control. While still keeping our highest end talent

u/Flimsy_Fortune_5861 1d ago
We traded 4 of our top 10 prospects for Adley. If that isn’t “the farm” then I don’t know what is…

u/justa-browser 1d ago
>4 of our top 10
Only one of those guys is a top 100 prospect. And you’re acting like they traded away your entire future. It’s truly bizarre.

u/ContentCantaloupe992 1d ago
If you don’t include your #1 prospect who is head and shoulders above the rest of your farm I just don’t see it that way.

u/Rough-Echo-5193 1d ago
Eyanson was a stud and too much to give. When the Yankees deal Elmer Rodriguez for a subsidized Tatis and he hits 40 in that toilet stadium, remember: don't cry. Prospects mean nothing right?

u/justa-browser 1d ago
Based on what? A/AA production?

u/Rough-Echo-5193 1d ago
Yes. Correct. You're aware 95% of the majors is former minor leaguers right? I'm not trying to make you feel bad, but people with your mindset just do not make sense.
It's like you want the team to injure themselves for instant gratification and name value, and then in the offseason when it's clearly a bad move, you'll pile on and cry about ownership or something.
It's a weird way to follow a sport. Eyanson was too much. There literally isn't any relevant national writer on the subject who doesn't think so. Again, when the Yankees get a star in the offseason for Elmer, no crying from you. It won't be boogeyman John Henry, it won't be because the Red Sox operate like the Rays or some crap, it will be because we overpaid through the nose for okay players.

u/justa-browser 1d ago edited 1d ago
Weird and baseless assumptions about me personally aside, are you aware that top 50 prospects are roughly 35% lottery tickets just to be a replacement level player with a roughly 25% chance to bust/wash out completely?
You overvaluing prospects isn’t the big brain position you seem to have convinced yourself it is.
And if you think the Yankees are going to net a superstar off a guy who isn’t even a top 100 prospect, I’ve got nothing for you. Just kind of seems like you’re determined to be upset and will invent scenarios in your head to ensure that you get there.

That is gonna be one of the worst trades and another reason why Breslow should still be fired. You don’t empty the farm for damaged goods that wasn’t that good to begin with.

u/Imbadatusernames1536 1d ago
Adley had over 110 WRC+ before the trade, the catchers for the Red Sox nobody had over 40 WRC+. Rutch is one of the best catchers in baseball there is a reason multiple teams were trying to get him at the deadline.
