Piazza31 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Somehow, I don't think that releasing Straily three days before the season starts is perceived as a "good thing" to do to a loyal veteran. Teams have their rotations set and he is not on an opening day roster. If they were going to do the "respect for a veteran thing", they should have released him a week or two before. I think it's a "we realize its a shitty time, so here ya go" But also, maybe they fully intended to keep him and the youngsters over excelled. They did a great job the last few weeks of spring- how many didn't give up a hit in 6 innings a few times? Was it three of em with No hitters or perfect games when pulled?

Das Texan Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Its really an AWFUL message sent. Hey you were loyal to us when things were really shitty but ya. Hit the bricks at the end of spring. Thats the thing Jeter doesnt seem to realize. I get why Arod fucking hates him. (and many others in New York too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want him out of baseball, I just don't want him on my team. I'd rather us trust the young staff than give a guy who doesn't have a lot of upside a start. I dislike the move because he is a good guy, but I agree with it. Jeter believes winning is the best way to get fans behind the team. This move and the move to send down o'brien show that it will come down to performance. By the end of the season I think upwards of 40 different players will suit for the team. Exclusively due to individual performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHPMarlin Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 How is getting rid of Dan Straily and receiving nothing in return a demonstration that ownership is committed to "winning" and "performance"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 How is getting rid of Dan Straily and receiving nothing in return a demonstration that ownership is committed to "winning" and "performance"? Because they believe the 5 young starters "performed" better than Straily in spring training and thus they believe those 5 can bring them more "winning" than Straily. Whether anyone agrees with that or not it does say they think they can get more wins without Straily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, do you believe they released Derek Dietrich because they think that Rosell Herrerra "can bring them more winning"? Without Straily they will save money and they will also open a spot for the younger guys . And there is value to both, I'm sure. But, I don't think the move necessarily signifies a commitment to winning "this year". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosell Herrera not a major league player just a guy with a minor league contract that's less money than Dietrich because Jeter would rather have a dollar than a win Fuck Jeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit 100% that that move was to save money because Dietrich's role could be filled by cheaper options. If cutting Straily was to save money they would have non tendered him or cut him before spring training. Keeping him through the entire spring means they intended for him to be on the team. He was absolutely cut because they felt the other guys were ready to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could've saved the $1.2 mil he spent on Straily by non tendering him but he was too dumb to realize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck Jeter he is too cheap to even think because thinking takes time and time is money and he doesn't want to spend any would rather lose than spend a dollar Fuck Jeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that... I really don't think Jeter is as involved in player transactions as people think. Both of those cuts were probably made by Mike Hill with input from Mattingly and Denbo and then Jeter just OK'd them. Part of Jeter's mindset has been to let the people in charge of their respective departments actually be in charge of their respective departments so I'm doubting Jeter called for any of those moves. He probably does so little compared to what people thinks he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHPMarlin Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I do think it would be interesting to know how much Mike Hill is involved in personnel moves now, as compared to under the prior ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
