Williams and Heathcott.. Two players that will always be known as what if’s.. The injury bug hurt 2 players who could have silenced critics of the Yankees farm system the last couple of years..
MB923
Williams is only 23 and Heathcott is only 24.
thecoffinnail
Yes, I know.. You misunderstood my point..
MB923
I understood your point, and I’m just saying there is still plenty of time for them to come up, whether it’s on the Yankees or another team should they get traded or released, to have an impact in the bigs.

“Yankees GM Brian Cashman told reporters, including MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch (Twitter link) that he has no issues with the Mariners”
Lol. I laughed at this. I remember when they wouldn’t trade Cliff Lee to them and the Yankees got pissed. All he had to give up was EEEEEduardo Nunez (in addition to Montero who was a top prospect at the time and others).
Then of course Pineda got injured shortly after he got traded here. Watch something happen to Cano and the M’s ship him back here and the Yankees will blame the Mariners.

Cano does have a health issue currently, correct? Was it immune or vision?
MB923
I have not heard that. I wouldn’t think it’s vision though.

Yanks up by 5.5 games, but this is a two starter swing
MB923
A two starter swing? You mean with Pineda down and unfortunately CC continuing to start for whatever reason?
scissormetimbers
Pineda down and the jays adding price, 3 if you count CC
MB923
Well hopefully for the Yankees, Severino has a big impact too. Never know. Too bad it’s not him vs. Owens tonight or tomorrow.
scissormetimbers
that’s what I wanted to see too…But I put severino in a different class than Owens,

TULO!
MB923
Until he gets injured which very sadly can happen any time given his history and now playing on the turf.
iverbure
its probably going to take a major injury to keep Tulo out of the lineup. I dunno the timing of Tulo’s injuries in Colorado but its a lot easier to say ya I can’t go when your team is basically out of the playoffs on july 1st. the jays do need to get rid of the turf though. it looks awful the seam’s are so visible it looks like there is 14 extension cords bundled up under the seams.

Wanna know what makes me sad? In terms of WAR, Didi would be tied with… wait for it.. Jeanmar Gomez with 1.4 WAR as the 2nd best active player on the Phillies roster, trailing only Aaron Harang (1.7), and yet Yankee fans for months were complaining about Didi. Gotta love being a Phillies fan right now.
Brixton
Except the pressure is on with Toronto, and he lasted 6 games… and is OPS’ing over 1.000 in those 6 games, and is worth 0.7 WAR.. in 6 games.. for the Jays.
Dock_Elvis
Here the thing with Tulo, though… He’s hands down the best SS in the game when healthy. He’ll put up amazing WAR even barely cracking 110 games played….but he HAS to be on the field for Toronto in this race. He has long and recurring injury concerns. He could beat the cover off the ball for a week or a month and then miss all of Sept and the postseason. I know the WAR is impressive no matter how you slice it…but timing is crucial now.
