    1. Who else is there? Grisham? Martian is hitting worse in AAA than Verdugo is here. If Jasson were hitting and Verdugo were still playing every day it would be different.

    3. Ideally a RHB. Rosario platooning with Verdugo would work but he’ll never pass thru waivers.

    4. agreed.

      Peraza is .258 .378 .710 in August.

      Sadly Jazz is now out so the outfield depth is yet again shot.

    5. that SS Durbin has been hitting well, has a few games in LF.

      vertigo is a lost cause.

    1. It seemed like going into this year they were just going to make him a full time lefty and abandon the switch experiment.

  21. Leiter previous game 0.2ip 3r, 3h, 1 BB. Tonight 0.2ip, 1r, 1 h, 2bb. Cashman really nailed the trade deadline. In all fairness Leiter is better than De Los Santos who oddly is still here.
    Kahnle got lucky.

  29. Leiter has allowed 5 runs, 13 hits, 4 walks and 2 HBP in 7.1 innings pitched for the Yankees. And he’s better than the other reliever Cash picked up.

    Leiter + Enyel as Yankees

    13.2 IP, 15 ER, 38 baserunners

    1. Leiter had the one bad game. He’s made eight appearances for the Yankees, and he’s allowed no runs in five of the appearances, one run in two of the appearances, and three runs in the one appearance.

      He’s been fine outside of that Texas game. Now, he HAS allowed runs in his last two appearances, so sure, if he starts giving up runs every appearance, then that would be a problem, of course.

    2. Eh Leiter is supposed to be a swing and miss guy, but here he is with a 2.3 WHiP and walking 6/9IP. He absolutely can’t come into a game where the Yankees need to save bullpen arms and walk guys. Same with Kahnle. There’s not giving in to hitters and then there is keeping them off the bases.

  30. Some thoughts:
    1) can’t blame Boone for the disaster of a bullpen; that’s on cashman who after 25 years and a huge payroll still can’t figure out how to build a team.
    2) 71 wins – unless they lose their next 41 games the B-ref projection system will be proven wrong.
    3) despite a terrible manager, offensive holes in LF, 3b, 2b, SS they are only 1/2 game out of the best record in MLB. Which just goes to prove how awesome judge and Soto are. Sign Juan for whatever he asks for and then add $1 just to make him even happier.
