THE YANKEES DON'T DESERVE AARON JUDGE


For me, the MVP race this year had the suspense level of a rerun—you know exactly how it ends, and somehow it’s still satisfying. Aaron Judge was the obvious pick to me, the neon-sign choice, the “don’t overthink it” candidate. The guy is the ultimate ballplayer, a human cheat code in pinstripes. Every time he steps onto the field, you’re watching baseball history stretch to 6-foot-7 and casually ruin a pitcher’s evening.

Judge didn’t just prove his value—he practically carved it into the side of Yankee Stadium. 53 home runs, a .331 average, and now his second straight MVP, third overall. At this point, he’s making MVPs look like Starbucks punch cards—collect ten, get your next one free.

And the man just joined Mickey Mantle and Jimmie Foxx as the only players to launch at least 50 homers and win a batting title in the same season. That’s not a club. That’s a museum exhibit. Judge, being Judge, shrugged it off with his usual modesty. “Keep your head down through all 162,” he said, standing beside his family—who, frankly, are probably better at situational hitting than half the roster.

He beat out Cal Raleigh and José Ramírez, earning 17 first-place votes. Raleigh grabbed 13, proving voters do indeed love a good nickname, but even the Big Dumper couldn’t dump Judge off the podium.

Now, here’s where it gets complicated—not for Judge, but for the Yankees. Because while Judge keeps stacking hardware like it’s garage sale season, he’d trade every last award for a championship ring. And who can blame him? The last time the Yankees won a title as a long time ago. Meanhile Aaron Boone is still basking in the glow of that one home run people won’t shut up about against the Red Sox that literally means nothing no. Since Boone became manager? Nothing. Nada. A perfectly curated collection of October heartbreaks.

We’re witnessing a once-in-a-generation talent wasting prime years in a franchise that still thinks “running it back” with a roster of injury-prone bargain-bin specials is a strategy. Cashman keeps promising he’ll bring in impact players, and then what do we get? Another batch of “if-he-stays-healthy” signings—spoiler alert: they never do. It’s like he’s building the team using expired coupons.

So yeah, congrats to Judge. He deserves every ovation, every plaque, every headline. But everyone with a functioning brain knows he’d rather be hoisting a World Series trophy than another MVP. And the saddest part? The Yankees, as currently run, look about as championship-ready as a Little League team running laps for losing their juice boxes.

Judge can do it all—hit, lead, inspire, carry—but he can’t drag an entire front office out of its own delusions. He needs help. Real help. Not “2021 All-Star who’s been hurt ever since” help. Until the Yankees figure that out, the only thing Judge will be lifting in October is his luggage as he heads home early.

So congrats, Captain. Enjoy the MVP. You earned it.

Too bad your organization still hasn’t earned you.

JUDGE COULD GET SOME SERIOUS HARDWARE!

Source: Al Bello/Getty Images North America
Just a quick note and it's nothing that you don't already know.  Aaron Judge was great for the Yankees this season.  .284 / 52/ 114.   Well... that should mean something.

MLB.com has this. The names connected to a few serious awards:

"ROOKIE OF THE YEAR
American League
OF Trey Mancini, Orioles
OF Andrew Benintendi, Red Sox
OF Aaron Judge, Yankees


Photo: Getty Images
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
American League
2B Jose Altuve, Astros
OF Aaron Judge, Yankees
2B Jose Ramirez, Indians"


It should be also noted that teammate Luis Severino is up for AL Cy Young award, competing against Chris Sale and Corey Kluber.

At any rate... it's nice to see the Yankees kids be possibly rewarded for all their hard work this season.  Remember, we are in a building year.  We weren't supposed to make the playoffs.  Man oh man did they do something special, huh?

I leave you with this from MLB.com:

"Winners of those eight prestigious honors will be announced from Nov. 13-16, all on MLB Network at 6 p.m. ET each night."

Good Luck Judge and Sevy.

FROM A BLOODY WIN TO THE JAYS STILL BREATHING!


Yesterday the Indians took Game 3 against the lifeless Toronto Blue Jays team.  Tonight, the Blue Jays proved that they can live another day.  That's the game of baseball. Respect it!


Last night it was the Indians pulling out a 4-2 win against the Jays with 6 pitchers following starter Trevor Bauer who had a bloody pinky that just would not stop bleeding.  He left after 0.2 innings. He walked 2 and struck out just 1 before coming out.  


In the end, it was Jason Kipnis homering and Jose Ramirez singling in a run to get the Indians the lead, and then of course... the filthiest pitcher alive... Andrew Miller shut down the Jays to win.


Tonight... it was quite the opposite. The Blue Jays bats came alive in Toronto. It was a Josh Donaldson homer and a bunch of clean singles and doubles to put the Jays into the win category.  They were fierce tonight, much different to the way they'd been playing. 

As my son said tonight, "The Jays aren't gonna win, but hey, the last time you said that about the Sox, they killed your Yankees."


"My Yankees?", I said surprised.

He looked at me smirking.  "Dad... I'm a baseball fan.  I like all these guys and all these teams... it's more fun."

Gotta love that kid. 

Game 3 Final: Indians 4 - Blue Jays 2

Game 4 Final: Blue Jays 5 - Indians 1

A SHOOTOUT ENDS THE STREAK


The Yankees bats finally broke out in a frenzy of hits, striking first with a 3-run home run off the bat of Brian McCann. In their first 5 at-bats, the scored more runs than in any Yankees 9-inning game over the last week. They scored more runs in the first inning than in any of the prior 63. Yeah, it's been that bad.


The scoring didn't stop in the first inning. Stephen Drew hit his 15th home run of the season in the top of the 2nd to put the Yankees up 4-0. Drew doubled in the loop of the 4th to score Didi Gregorius for the Yankees 5th run. Brett Gardner followed with a double to score Drew. In the 6th inning, again it was Gardner scoring Drew, this time on a base hit up the middle.


It's a good thing the Yankees kept scoring because the Indians kept scoring too. Down 4-0 in the bottom of the 2nd, Michael Brantley scored Giovanny Urshela on a sacrifice fly and Carlos Santana singled in Jose Ramirez to cut the lead in half. In the 6th inning, with the Yankees leading 7-2, back to back doubles by Yan Gomes and Abraham Almonte followed by a Lonnie Chisenhall single made it 7-4. They tacked on another run on a wild pitch by Dellin Betances. They were like those pesky midges that wouldn't go away. Yeah, I know. It is in Cleveland after all.


By the time we reached the bottom of the ninth, the Indians scored to make it 8-6 and to bring the tying run to the plate. Thankfully, Andrew Miller returned to form after his last outing. Miller Time got his 25th save on a called third strike, ending the Yankees losing streak.


Results were mixed on Nathan Eovaldi. He improved to 12-2 as he recorded his 6th consecutive win on the road. He did a decent job but reached 100 pitches in the 6th inning. Honorable mention goes to Brian McCann, who hit his 20th home run of the season. He, Yogi Berra, and Mike Piazza are the only catchers to have done it 8 or more consecutive years now. Honorable mention goes to Stephen Drew - mark the day in the calendar - for scoring four times tonight. That's a career high for him.


Finally, Greg Bird got his major league debut tonight. It was a little less momentous than he or the rest of us hoped. He went 0 for 5 with 2 strikeouts leaving four men on base, one of them in scoring position. Still, he's up and that's a sign that the future is on its way.


So, hopefully, this marks the end of the dark times. The Yankees are a very good team, and this could turn the page for them. The Blue Jays also won tonight, so the Yankees are still a half game out of first. But they're still one ahead of them in the loss column.

"...YANKS JUST GOT DUSTIN ACKLEY"

"According to Jack Curry, the Yanks just got Dustin Ackley" 
--Steve B., BYB reader


The hardest part of my job as Chief of Bleeding Yankee Blue is this: I can't type as fast as the news comes out!  That's on me.  I can't exactly just reach out to my writers, who work and have children and activities and all that stuff and say hey, "Stop what the hell you're doing and write this!"  This is a volunteer shop... we do what we can.  


Luckily for us, we have awesome, dedicated fans and readers who help me out.  I tip my cap to Steve B.  Oh yeah... and to Jack Curry:

Yes, the Yankees got Dustin Ackley, a second baseman, sometimes outfielder and that only means 1 thing to me. Maybe Stephen Drew's days at 2nd could be over for the New York Yankees. Oh yeah, and expect Rob Refsnyder to be traded eventually.  That's not my wish when it comes to RR, it's just the way things appear to be going. Bottom line, I'm confused by Ackley mainly because these days he plays more outfield than second base.

Here's the other part of the puzzle, Ramon Flores and Jose Ramirez are going to the Mariners.  Ugh. I didn't want to part with Flores... but it is what it is at this point.

OK then.

LOSERS!


David Phelps did perfectly fine last night.  The Yankees could not score runs off of Chris Archer and Co. That's it.  I feel like this is Groundhog Day and I'm Bill Murray.  I can't believe I write about a Yankee loss every day... but I do. Maybe if I keep going back, I can right the wrongs and fix it... but I doubt it. In fact... I know it.


What are we gonna do? You understand that the Yankees are free falling right now, right?  Have you seen our division lately? Have you seen the standings? Have you seen what we should be capable of, but instead what we're doing? We CANNOT SCORE RUNS! Why?


Phelps went 5.2 innings last night.  He gave up 4 hits and 2 runs.  Well done David. Bottom line, he kept us in the game.  The pen did their best to hold it down, but this time earned runs were off of Dellin Betances and Jose Ramirez.  I'm not exactly sure why Ramirez was out there in the 12th, but I don't think I'll ever understand Girardi's logic.  What I do know is that coaches need to be held responsible... and the time's coming!  Joe? Larry? Kevin? Get ready...

The Yankee run scoring went like this:


In the 3rd inning, Brett Gardner tripled and knocked in Ichiro. Derek Jeter then grounded out and in the process, Gardy scored.


In the 9th, Brian Roberts hit a solo homer.

It was after that tie game that Logan Forsythe knocked in a run in the 12th... the Yankees couldn't come back.  It's pathetic and sad and again, if I could have the same game or series, or season over and over again and be able to go back and move the pieces around better, maybe we could fix it and win.  The sad reality is, we can't.  The Yankees have to do it themselves.  Cashman gave this Yankee team the tools... we just can't win... and it's sucking the life out of us Yankee fans.  Don't believe me? Look at an overview of Yankee stadium lately... no one wants to be there anymore... sad.

Final: Rays 4 - Yankees 3

BIG BYB UPDATE ON THE BABY BOMBERS

It has been a few weeks since the last time I updated you with what our future Bombers are up to in the minor league system, so let’s take a look at five more players working their way to the Bronx.


Dante Bichette Jr. (3B/DH) – His father was a power-laden outfielder who could flat out rake.  In 14 big league seasons he hit 274 home runs and batted .299.  Junior seems to have received a lot of that good DNA. 

Dante Bichette Jr. is batting in the heart of the Tampa Yankees (advanced A ball) lineup as a third baseman/designated hitter.  Currently, he’s hitting .276 with seven home runs and 40 RBI (leads the team). 

Drafted by the Yankees in the first round (51st pick) of the 2011 Amateur Draft, the 22-year-old has advanced at least one level each year he has been in the organization.  He has displayed good power and if he can keep his average where it is or higher, it would come as no surprise if he finishes his season at the next level.

There are things to work on for sure, as he’s made 8 errors in 95 chances at the hot corner (a .916 fielding pct) and he tends to be a free-swinger at the plate; striking out 309 times taking a base on balls on 151 occasions in 361 minor league games.   But, those are things that can be worked on and improved over time, and at 22, he has plenty of time. 

Bichette Jr. has a tremendous upside and given the issues the parent club has had at third base, he represents a ray of hope for the future at the position.


Jake Cave (OF) – Drafted in the sixth round of the same draft (2011) as Bichette Jr., outfielder Jake Cave has impressed the past two seasons– he played in just one game in 2011 (breaking a kneecap in a collision at home plate), and missed all of 2012 after re-injuring it in extended spring training.

Currently a teammate of Bichette’s, the 21-year-old outfielder is hitting .297 with a .740 OPS.  In spite of his past injury, he’s a very capable runner on the base paths; swiping 25 in 37 attempts since 2013. Like Bichette, Cave needs to work on plate discipline as he carries nearly a 3-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio.

In the field he has an above average arm and range; playing center field for the Tampa Yankees with a .988 fielding pct.

If he stays healthy, Cave has shown abilities that should put him on the fast track through the organization.


Caleb Smith (LHP) – Left-handed starting pitchers are the blood diamonds in baseball.  Teams will kill for the good ones, and in Caleb Smith the Yankees may have a gem in the works.

Picked in the 14th round of last year’s MLB Amateur Draft, Smith was quick to impress; posting a 1.89 ERA over 9 starts at low-A Staten Island, and even making a late season spot start at Double-A Trenton.

Since joining the organization, the southpaw has struck out 118 in 110 innings pitched and currently is 4-6 with a 3.56 ERA through 14 starts at Charleston (single A).

The 22-year-old has great potential as he showcases a fastball in the 93-95 mph range and an above-average circle change.  He also will occasionally use a slider, and has shown good control; walking just 43 batters in his 110 innings on the mound. 

If he keeps this up, the sky is the limit for Smith.  Given Yankee stadium’s short right-field porch, this lefty starter could find himself in the Bronx ahead of some of the other “baby” Bomber’s I’ve written about.


Jose Rosario (2B, SS,3B, OF) – One trait of successful Yankees teams in the past is that each had a good “all-purpose” player.  They are guys who play virtually every day, but seemingly never at the same position.   Their value lies in the fact that they allow their manager to rest his starters without losing production in the field and at the plate.

Jose Rosario is just that type of player.

Still young (22), this product of the Yankees Dominican Summer League team has shown versatility in the field and competence at the plate.  This season alone, Rosario has seen time at second, third and each of the three outfield positions while being promoted from Single-A Charleston to High-A Tampa.  To date, he’s hitting .295 at Tampa (.292 on the season) and has shown ability on the base paths in stealing 49 bases in 66 attempts during his minor league career.

The fact that he’s already been promoted this year is a good sign for the multi-talented player.  Look for him to continue his climb through the ranks and possibly finish the season at Double-A Trenton.


Jose Ramirez (RHP) – Jose Ramirez is a Baby Bomber who has been given his first taste of “The Show”.  While at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre this season, the 24-year-old right-handed starter-turned-reliever was lights out; posting a microscopic 0.84 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 10.2 innings pitched. 

Since being signed as an 18-year-old amateur free agent in 2007, Ramirez steadily worked his way through the ranks of the system as a starter until last season.  He features a fastball that averages 94 mph, a change up, and a slider.

Even though he’s made it to the Bronx, there are still clearly some things to be worked on - specifically, his WHIP (walks+hits per inning pitched).   In spite of his above average tools, Ramirez seems to pitch to a lot of contact.  He gets a decent number of strikeouts (his average is roughly one per inning), but yields home runs at a high rate (he’s already given up 2 in just 8 innings of big league work), and has had a WHIP higher than 1.2 every season (minors and majors) since 2009. 

Unless he can start missing bats at a better clip, his visit to the Bronx may not amount to much more than a quick cup of coffee.

There you have it – our latest update on some Yankees prospects.  If you have specific Baby Bombers you’d like to know about, feel free to send us the request and we’ll be happy to include them in our write-ups!

WOULD NUNO BE BOOED ON AMATEUR NIGHT AT THE APOLLO?

If your answer is "Yes", you're right.
 

Who knows about the Sandman from the Live at the Apollo show?  I used to get a kick out of watching performers on Amateur night get up there at the Apollo and if they didn't make the cut, the booing started, the lights flashed, the siren went and out came the Sandman with a broom or a hook and he'd get that amateur off stage quickly. It was fun. 

(In Photo: Sandman at the Apollo)
Unfortunately, watching Vidal Nuno pitch isn't fun and if he was on Amateur night... he'd be gone, plain and simple. And so, I believe that some time very soon the Yankees will make a decision to move Nuno out of the starting rotation. You don't go on a winning streak and then cross your fingers with Nuno. But they did. Silly. The Yanks needed to be smarter about that.  Vidal needs to go.  Take him out of the rotation, make him a reliever officially and let's fill that starting role with a better choice. Trust me, there are choices. Find one.


The Yankees lost today.  You can blame Nuno... it's OK.  He went 6.1 innings, he gave up 6 hits and 5 runs.  The O's only scored 1 more and that was off of reliever Jose Ramirez.  For the most part, the Yankee bats were silent and just couldn't come back today.  Hey, that happens, but the reality is, you don't want pitchers putting you in holes like that... it ain't easy to chip away.


The Yankee runs were small... only 1, and that happened when Mark Teixeira homered... it was his 12th, a solo shot.  The Yankees had 7 hits today, and were 0-9 with runners in scoring position.  Not too great, but hey, give them 1 loss... Dare I say, I bet we bounce back tomorrow... after all, it's Old Timer's Day.

Final: Orioles 6 - Yankees 1

THE YANKEE CUTS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

With the regular season now directly in front of us, teams across MLB get on with the unappealing process of trimming their rosters to 25 players prior to Opening Day.


For the Yankees, it has been a spring training filled with competitive battles for spots at key positions in the outfield, infield, bullpen and starting rotation.  Given the disappointing results of last season, it is no wonder that many of the spots are being held open as long as possible.

Even so, the process of paring down the roster has begun for the Bombers and includes some familiar names.   Among the earliest “demotions” from the Major League roster were:


Jose Ramirez – optioned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (AAA) on March 9th.  Ramirez is a 24-year-old right handed hurler that has been in the Yankees organization since 2008 and started eight games for the Rail Riders last year with a 4.88 ERA.  Baseball America rates his fastball as the best in the Yankees’ farm system.

Slade Heathcott – optioned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on March 12th.  Heathcott is one of the Yankees top outfield prospects (his arm is rated the best in the team’s minor league system), but the 23-year-old has struggled through numerous injuries during his young career.  Last season he played 103 games at Trenton and hit .261 while stealing 15 bases in 23 attempts.


Gary Sanchez – optioned to Double-A Trenton Thunder on March 12th.  Sanchez, according to Baseball America, is the franchise’s number one prospect.  Only 21 years of age, BA already rates him as the organization’s best power hitter.  In the Yankees’ system since age 17, the catcher has been promoted to a higher level of pro ball every season.  Expect him to make an appearance in Scranton before the 2014 campaign is over.

Nik Turley – optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on March 12th.  Turley is a 24-year-old left -handed hurler who made one appearance with the Rail Riders last season after spending most of it at Trenton.  Turley is another prospect who has steadily risen through the ranks and is only a year or two off from making regular appearances in the Bronx.

Bryan Mitchell – optioned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on March 13th.  Drafted in the 16th round of the 2009 draft as a 19-year-old, Mitchell is rapidly flying through the Yankees’ minor league system.  In a little over 18 innings pitched at Trenton last season, the right-handed pitcher struck out 16 and walked only 5.  The fact that he is being placed at the Triple-A level shows the confidence the Bombers have in him.  This is someone to keep an eye on!


Jose Campos Optioned to Tampa (high-A) on March 13th. Campos is the right-handed pitcher included in the deal that brought Michael Pineda to the Yankees.  He’s still young (21) and features a 93-mph fastball.  He has yet to break above the “A” level of the system because of injury issues and most recently has battled elbow injuries.  At Charleston last year he did manage to pitch 87 innings and had a decent 3.41 ERA, so there is hope.  If he can put the injuries behind him, Campos can get back on track as a rising star.

This past week the Yankees had a couple more players sent to the farm.  They were:


 Manny Banuelos - Optioned to Tampa on March 16th.  Banuelos is half of the “killer Bees” – the highly touted duo of Banuelos and Dellin Betances - and while Baseball America still rates him as the team’s 12th best prospect, it seems that his stock is falling.  He didn’t pitch in 2013 as he recovered from elbow surgery, and that clearly has set him back in his progress through the ranks.  This spring he made two appearances and yielded seven earned runs in one inning.  He still has work to do if he wants to achieve his dream of pitching for the Yankees.

Ramon Flores - Optioned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on March 18th.  The 21-year-old outfielder is another prospect working his way through the ranks, and Scranton will mark the highest level of ball he has achieved.  Last season he hit .260 and has shown decent speed on the base paths in stealing 56 of 80 bases during his five seasons in the minors.

Even though the aforementioned players aren’t coming to New York with the big league club, for many their assignments represent promotions from last season’s team.  In spite of rumors of its demise, these “baby Bombers” each show that the farm isn’t barren.

Look for the Yankees to make more decisions on players in the very near future as they define the team they will take to the Bronx for Opening Day.

YANKEES SIGN "THE MICK"... SORT OF

(In Photo: Mickey Storey)
The Yankees claimed Mickey Storey, a right handed pitcher off waivers from the Houston Astros today.  Nice. What does it mean? Well, in a nutshell it means they completed their 40 man roster with he and 6 other guys.

According to the Washington Post, HERE:

"The 26-year-old was 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA in 26 relief appearances after making his major league debut in August. He was 7-4 with a 3.05 ERA this year at Triple-A Oklahoma City."

The other 6 are Manny Banuelos, Nik Turley of Trenton, Jose Ramirez of Tampa, Pitcher Brett Marshall, Francisco Rondon from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and outfielder Ramon Flores.

(In Photo: Dave Herndon)
The Yanks said righthander Dave Herndon refused an outright assignment. That means he's elected free agency. Remember the Yankees claimed Dave Herndon from the Blue Jays the beginning of the month, read YANKEES CLAIM DAVE HERNDON & JOSH SPENCE OFF WAIVERS.

Oh Dave... we barely got to know you... and we never will.
