I was thinking it would be worth it as insurance, but if its true he was pissed about playing time I don't see it as a good fit. Pena, for better or worse, is gonna start.TREX01 said:

I don't see it. He's only played SS in his career (seriously, hasn't played an inning at any other position) so he doesn't solve our need for a utility guy. His complaint was also lack of playing time and I don't see him getting every day at-bats here.TREX01 said:

Lineup of death??
But to flip that argument around, now you have 15 teams in the AL with 26 players each on their roster - That's 390 guys. The 1925 AL had 8 teams with 25 guys each, that's only 200 players total. Under those parameters, the bottom 48.7% of players in the game today, wouldn't even be in the league if there were only 8 teams, so those other 7 teams were much more stacked talent wise than a lot of the ones today so you could make the case that having the best record against much better talent (for the era) was equally difficult to winning a couple of playoff series now.Faustus said:Have a better record than 7 other teams and you were in the World Series.The Porkchop Express said:The Yankees actually sucked in 1925, they finished 7th out of 8 teams in the AL.bearkatag15 said:Walk-off grand slams down by 3 runs in Yankees history:

It wasn't until 1969 that you had to beat another team in the playoffs to get to the World Series (and 1961 when they expanded beyond 8 teams per conference).
And statistically one of the best defensively...you do not do that to your Rookie who you want to be a corner piece of your club for the future.TREX01 said:
I'd sign him and put him in the lineup over Pena. For the last 2 months, Pena, has been about the worst offensive SS in baseball. He is a rookie with no track record so it would be foolish to think it will get better at this point.
No comparison can be made between then and now.

The Yankees also benefited by being able to pay more than their peers for players, and a superior roster will usually rise to the top over 154 games, rather than a crap shoot of a best of seven series, which they were able to avoid until 1969.The Porkchop Express said:But to flip that argument around, now you have 15 teams in the AL with 26 players each on their roster - That's 390 guys.

I'm not comparing talent to talent in different eras. I'm saying that if you took the bottom 49% of talent out of the majors right now and just had 8 teams, it would be very difficult to finish first among those 8 teams. When there are fewer players, regardless of the era, there are less crappy players because of the smaller # of rosters, so the competition would inherently be stiffer.Lonestar_Ag09 said:No comparison can be made between then and now.

I get what you're saying and I do agree with the comparison however in those times the player choices just can not be compared to today.
