The Yanks could look for a stopgap type – think Atlanta’s Jaime Garcia or San Diego’s Trevor Cahill or Toronto’s Marco Estrada, all of whom are in their walk year – if they think the price is right and prefer that to just churning through unproven types such as Luis Cessa, Bryan Mitchell, Caleb Smith, Chance Adams and perhaps Chad Green. The general sentiment was summed up by another AL official, who wrote: “I liked the deal for the Yankees because it was a creative problem-solving deal. They addressed a number of areas and were essentially able to avoid compromising the strength of the 2018, ’19 and ‘20 teams.” One element that came up was the lack of universal love for Blake Rutherford, who was the key prospect for the White Sox. Not one executive spoken to felt Rutherford had the tools to remain in center field, and many wondered if he would develop enough power long Authentic Redskins Womens Jersey term to justify a corner outfield spot. One NL executive likened this to the White Sox getting Lucas Giolito in the offseason as part of the package from the Nationals for Adam Eaton, saying: “The Nationals had internally soured on Giolito and wanted to trade him before the whole sport caught on. I sense the Yankees traded Rutherford at the top of his market, when the buzz was still good.” The Yanks felt from the time of drafting him in the first round in 2015 that Rutherford would take a while to fill out, but that once he did he could be a Paul O’Neill-type hitter. The Yankees tried hard to get Quintana and did land Kahnle, two onetime farmhands they lost http://www.authenticnikeredskinshop.com/art-monk-jersey-for-sale-c-... previously for nothing because they never put them on the 40-man roster. Quintana was a swingman in 2011 at Single-A who the Yankee braintrust pretty much universally thought was not worth a 40-man spot. But they still believed they were close to re-signing him as a minor league free agent when the lefty instead was inked by the White Sox. The Yanks debated putting Kahnle on the 40-man after the 2013 campaign, but one reason they did not was that he averaged 6.8 walks per nine innings at Double-A that season. Colorado took him in the Rule 5 draft, and in two seasons with the Rockies, Kahnle had a 4.51 ERA and averaged 5.5 walks per nine innings. His stuff has improved across the board this season as he has averaged 1.8 walks per nine innings and 15 strikeouts. Kahnle is a candidate for regression, and who knows how he handles New York and a pennant race? But one NL executive said, “If this (the 2017) Kahnle is Andrew Benintendi Authentic Jersey here to stay, this trade becomes a slam-dunk win for the Yankees.” Conversely, the player in this trade with the Quintana/Kahnle potential to break out with the White Sox and bite the Yanks is Ian Clarkin. The Yankees took him with the 33rd-overall pick in 2013 (one spot after Aaron Judge), and the lefty could not stay healthy for sustained periods. He did have a 1.61 ERA over his final four Single-A starts for the Yankees. As part of the roster moves to clear 25-man roster space for the new additions, the Yankees demoted Chasen Shreve, their lone lefty setup man (Smith is around as a long man and Aroldis Chapman to close). But lefties are hitting .138 with a .413 OPS vs. Robertson, .115 with a .404 OPS vs. Betances, .103 with a .391 OPS vs. Green and .192 with a .489 OPS vs. Adam Warren. Thus, the http://www.authenticbostonredsox.com Yankees do not feel compelled to force a left-on-left reliever into the pen. But Geovany Soto, a catcher, had the same bone removed in 2013 and was back playing in 16 days. Joey Gallo also had the procedure done and was back playing in three weeks. Yankees GM Brian Cashman said he was “aware that others have been quicker,” but that for Bird “the bone removal was larger than most.” My gut says for now Frazier plays first against righties and third against lefties with Garrett Cooper at first and Chase Headley (.534 OPS vs. southpaws) going to the bench, and that the Yankees will see if there is someone who can provide an upgrade in one of these  places. But with a desire to protect the best of his farm system, Cashman does not seem to be nearly as motivated as he was with securing Frazier, Kahnle and Robertson.
