Both are very highly rated and have some great tools, but as with every player, they both have tools that if combined would be awesome one at SS the other at 2nd base. As things stand now, I could see Mateo up here next year for good...as our 2nd baseman. And the next year (2018) Willy will be the SS. If anyone knows anything about them and their talents, you will understand they could possibly end up as the best combination in the league for years to come.<br />We could end up with, Bird at 1st, Mateo at 2nd, Castro at 3rd and Willy at SS in 2018...with Refsnyder as the utility player (maybe?).<br />We could go even farther and project, Sanchez as our catcher, Ellsbury in left field, Judge in right field and Hicks (@29) in centerfield with McCann as DH.<br />I admit I would rather see Mason Williams, Slade Heathcott and Judge in the outfield with Hicks traded and Ellsbury as the 4th outfielder or best yet traded.<br /><br />Well, another day of being left on my own with nothing to do except recover and blog (comment)!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-17212403370902232462016-03-01T19:56:19.228-05:002016-03-01T19:56:19.228-05:00Daniel...when was the last time you were butchered...Daniel...when was the last time you were butchered here?

The NFL players have their money or have already made their money and sometimes it seems like they are simply going through the motions. <br /><br />Going through the motions wins you 85 games or so. Playing with heart and hunger wins you World Series.

Dellin only had a dependable fastball until he developed that half-assed killer slider, whereas "Ace" has a good change-up with a slider a work in progress. So, it may not be very long to master his slider and start kicking butt down on the farm. <br />Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-21381662959714190972016-02-28T13:48:25.435-05:002016-02-28T13:48:25.435-05:00I'll buy that Daniel, I just needed someone I ...I'll buy that Daniel, I just needed someone I trust to kick me in that direction I guess.<br />Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-44978901842392631742016-02-28T09:56:00.233-05:002016-02-28T09:56:00.233-05:00I think they give him every chance to fail as a st...I think they give him every chance to fail as a starter before moving him to the bullpen. That's what they did with Dellin, he was moved to the pen because he was running out of minor league options. The Yankees would rather have him as a reliever than pitching for another team, that decision worked out well but he stayed a starter for a long, long time despite being so wild and ineffective as one.Daniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-7913488796784347592016-02-28T09:54:18.686-05:002016-02-28T09:54:18.686-05:00Coshow is a reliever in my opinion.

They may try him out as a starter, they have been moving a lot of their relievers to the rotation to see if they can find another Chase Whitley so it's not out of the realm of possibilities, but I like his stuff better as a reliever. His stuff is good either way but I worry about him being stretched out for 200 innings a season since he never has.

He has a very high 90s fastball and a great slider with a changeup (so-so).<br />I would rather have him as a starter and his stuff is good enough for being a starter. The thing is, he is heavier than he should be and may not make it through a full year. If he can't make it through a full year move him to the BP, he could be the fourth "Horseman".<br />It is almost like whichever one can make it as a starter the other should go to the BP.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-88742787533071975812016-02-27T13:04:07.536-05:002016-02-27T13:04:07.536-05:00True Daniel, I have been torn between his value to...True Daniel, I have been torn between his value to the team between being a starter or late inning BP help. From what information I have read he seems better suited as a starter IF he can come up with a very reliable 3rd pitch (slider) if not his value is as a BP pitcher with a good changeup and a fastball with enough movement and speed to get by on, damn a 100 mph fastball that ain't so fast My fastball was better than half of his...in my dreams!
