Frazier is going to play better on a contending team. He'll like that park and the east coast thing.

I'm gonna miss DRob. He struggled at times but I have never heard one bad thing about him off the field.

I hope Clarkin goes to AA

 

He absolutely deserves to (barring the sox wanting to tweak something).

Undoubtedly the worst of the big trades. To trade 3 major leaguers including two with some nice value for only guy who will enter your top 20 or 25 prospects is not good to say the least. Just got to hope it land out and it doesn't matter anyways.

He was one of the few free agents we've signed that wasn't a massive bust. And from the Yanks perspective, they have a ridiculous bullpen and Frazier is the type of bat that I think fits nicely for a contender. Yanks pen can be dominant (think Royals of a couple years ago). That model can work (when combined with a nice offense).

It will be nice to see Clippard pitch decently so Hahn can flip him.

Clippard has enough incentive - get off of this team, join a winning team, set things up for his next contract

 

Polo looks pretty athletic. That's a plus.

Do people finally think we have enough hitting prospects now?

 

Not yet, need some big INF prospects. I like Burger and Sheets but after seeing Jimenez, Moncada, and Rutherford coming through those two look average at best

Frazier went the way of Swisher

 

Ran into Swish at the airport recently. Not a great fit in Chi, but all good. TV analyst and loving life. Dirty30 still smiling.

There's this Moncada guy

Hahn seemed to feel like Rutherford could stick at CF

Yeah, because it seems that they put very little value on defense. Quite literally, of all the fielding prospects we have gotten in the rebuilt, how many have been described as good defenders? Basically zero. How many have been described as needing work or may have to be moved to a different position? Basically all of them.

kahnle was acquired for a nothing player. kahnle's then sent out for a top 30-40 prospect in a deal. give praise

Great guy. Salt of the earth.

I'm not sure some of you guys understand Rutherford's potential value and future impact.

 

He's been coveted by a ton of teams in talks and was a very tough get.

 

Front office is THRILLED to acquire him.

So I will indulge you.

 

What IS his potential?

Who!?

So I will indulge you.

Ceiling for Rutherford is a more athletic David justice, which is a very good player

I saw that earlier

 

This season, he has been elite.

 

Fair?

 

He has as much of a track record as Swarzak.

Clarkin is very underrated. I would put him in the Guerrero range and say he has a better chance to start than someone like Fulmer

Hopefully Rutherford isn't too crushed. I believe he and his family are die hard Yankees fans.

I'm not crazy about bragging about Fulmer at #59 like that's a real thing anymore

We all know you love Fulmer ?

It's weird seeing Boston and Nats games and not caring how their pen does

We all know you love Fulmer ?

 

Says AAA hitters

What does that have to do with what he said about him as a clubhouse person?

 

Frazier was a great person in the clubhouse and he will be missed by teammates.

 

Hopefully Rutherford isn't too crushed. I believe he and his family are die hard Yankees fans.

 

Wasn't Clarkin a diehard Red Sox fan?
