It is that time again WIN METHOD fans. The 2019 baseball season has concluded. The best teams and the best players made it to the playoffs and after advancing through the playoffs by winning each series and eliminating each team they played, the Washington Nationals won the World Series and are the best baseball team and the best baseball players in the world. Congratulations to the Nationals for all you have accomplished. There is only one way for a team and for players to become the best of the best, and that is with wins and winning. No individual stat matters. Only wins and winning make you the best. Sorry stat frauds, when you learn this you will learn real baseball.
Yes, the 2019 season is over. The YANKEES did their best and it was not good enough as they lost to the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series. However, it looked like the YANKEES took enough out of the Astros that it may have cost them winning the World Series. The YANKEES will need some work to do this winter to find and to put together the last few pieces they need to become the best of the best. Considering the massive amounts of crippling injuries our YANKEE team had to endure over the season, making the playoffs was a fine achievement in itself. But that was the past. Now we look to the future.
There are likely as many opinions as there are YANKEE fans on what the team needs to do over the winter to '"win it all" in 2020. There is the free agent route with several pieces available, there are our own pieces available who if healthy for an entire season will help, and then there are own in house pieces available that are blooming and growing in the minors. Several of which may contribute greatly in 2020. There are also trade possibilities that may become on option.
YANKEE management will be busy this winter. How much money to spend on talent. Is the money spent worth the investment? Paying players very high salaries for multiple years is seldom a remedy, and in fact has hurt teams who have gone that route more than it has helped them, The trade route is a possibility, but it takes two parties to make a deal that each party feels is good for their team. Then there is the bloom and grow route. Spring training will provide some answers, but the hot stove will be only ashes before spring training provides some answers. We will just have to see what happens and how things shake out this winter and spring. Each decision made by management determines how and what the next decision may be. Throwing money at big contracts is up to management. You WIN METHOD fans know my opinion on big long term contracts, 'just say no'. We said no to Harper and Machado last year and it paid dividends over the season as the YANKEES made the playoffs even with all the injuries. Harper and Machado each cost their team a lot of dollars and neither team made the playoffs and are saddled with many years of an overpaid single piece of talent.
Lets all have a fun hot stove season, keep offering your opinions, thoughts, and ideas, and be happy you are not the one making the decisions. Remember fans, the YANKEE management team has more knowledge and information than you (we) do. There must be financial limits and that is one thing everyone should remember. So, here we go, let's turn on the stove and see what we can cook up. LETS GO YANKEES.

Shopping shopping and more shopping. I am done. No aggravation.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Girardi wins a world series before Boone.
Ursala Pei, Could happen in 2020. Girardi won't cater to players and he will demand they give full effort.
Yankee pitchers and catchers report in 75 days.
Once Christmas and the new year come and go we will be down to just a few weeks.
Just as long as the team starts the season without another long term high dollar contract. We have the talent, there is no need to throw money away on the likes of someone like Cole or that ilk.
If we don't show confidence in our youngsters we will fail. No Cole.
No one player makes a team, ever. Starting pitchers are the worst cost effective outlays of salary. Starting pitchers, almost all, appear in less than 20% of a teams games, so there is absolutely no reason to pay them exorbitant amounts of money. Now compare that to position players who can easily appear in 90% of a teams games. Think with WIN METHOD common sense, who is a better investment?
Jill Byrnes, that is where cost analysts get involved. Baseball is a complicated game and a games outcome is very interdependent on so many factors and players. The smarter franchises are starting to put a max value on players they are interested in and are not getting sucked into over paying for players.
I am hoping the Yankees find a way to retain Romine. He is more valuable than Sanchez as a catcher. Romine is better defensively in every aspect of the game. Romine is smarter and hustles. Only thing Sanchez has is more power.
Billy Tedder. I agree about Romine. There is not a better BUC in baseball and he is better than several teams starting catchers.
I hear MLB is looking into contracting the minor league system. Maybe reorganizing would be a better word for what will occur. I don't believe for a minute MLB will be willing to give up and or lose minor league ballparks unless the parks themselves are beyond redemption.
After the last two seasons of great success from Cole, do not be surprised if he has a regression in 2020. The question will be how much and/or if there is injury involved.
Re Cole. 35-10 combined for 2018 and 2019. Top grade success with no doubts. BUT, there is always a but, is he worth the cost of finding out if he can do it again, or is it more wise to give your youth a full out chance for success at minimal cost?
Guys, on the other hand. If Yankees sign Cole and he pitches like the past two seasons, we likely can win two World Series in two years. Yes, I used 'if'. Is the 'if' worth the dollar lay out? It is if it's not your money. It may not be the prudent thing to do if it is your money.
Times flying. It's December, GM meetings in a week. Christmas in 3 1/2 weeks and boom, it's January. Can't wait to see which of the Yankee youngsters cracks the rotation this spring. Just need to stay away from Cole and others. We will need to pay our core very soon.
Posters have previously mentioned young Yankee pitchers who could break into the rotation in 2020. Monty who has had experience at the MLB level, King and Schmidt who could each be on the cusp of the MLB level, and Garcia who appears to be a rising star and reached AAA last season. Who knows, but lets find out.
Without doubt signing Cole takes up a roster spot.
Ian Collins, a roster spot that would allow a young player to advance.
As the MLB GM meetings draw closer, more rumors will evolve. Do what's best for the team Cashman. Don't give anything away and don't give big bucks away.
Lets go Yankees.

You make a good point. Much will depend on if he regresses and how much. It's like buying a brand new 2019 car after the 2020 models are out. You buy a significantly decreased car.
In my opinion, for what Cole wants, and for how long, he will be an albatross signing.
Yankees meeting with Cole and Strasburg later this week.
Yankee hierarchy meeting with Cole this afternoon and Strasburg tomorrow in California. Likely Yankees will get some perspective on the path they will take. Cashman, Boone and new pitching coach Blake all involved.
Finally the hot stove is giving some warmth.
Looks as if Yanks may be out on Wheeler. Not worth the money?
Karl R, overpriced I think.
More coal is being added to the stove and it is getting warmer every day.
If WIN METHOD has given the Yankees the okay and the Yankees agree and go all in on Cole, 2020 may be a 'banner' year. If Cole doesn't regress or get injured. Maybe even a 'banner' two or three years.
Wheeler reportedly signing with Philadelphia for 118 million and five years.
One big fish down. Who's next.
Spend 30-40 mil a year for x-years on a player @30 years old who has finally come into his own, or give your youngsters a chance for a couple million a year? If a 30-40 mil a year guy guarantee anything? And for how many years?
I have gotten this perception from WIN METHOD that the Yankees get who they want when they want over 90% of the time. If WIN METHOD says yes to Cole, the Yankees will get Cole for 2020.
bigbadwolf, doesn't Hal Steinbrenner have the final okay for the final dollar amount?
VincentVanGoYankees, Yes, Hal must give final OK, and he will if WIN METHOD says OK.
No matter what any poster opines wherever they post, all final decisions are made by the Yankee management in charge. So, lets go Yankees.

I know you were speaking for WIN METHOD in your post, and I know why. WIN METHOD again breaks the news before anyone else.
yankeeforever, the issue will be how many years. GREAT info before anyone else.
Yes we can and yes we will.
Hope Cole is effective for several seasons. He will have the number one MLB lineup behind him.
WOW! I'm glad I logged into blog now.
Hope deal comes up smelling like roses for the Yankees for the next several years.
Sweet. Let It be.
What a pleasure to read this morning before work about the Yankees. Lets be the best again.
Nothing is signed yet. There can be hiccups.
I'm panting with great anticipation for the official announcement. Then will throw a party for my baseball buddies.
Now I see why the Yankees might be willing to lose Didi and others.
If the Yankees sign Cole there will not be much room for the youngsters to break into the rotation. I don't know if that is good or bad. My first thought is bad.
GM meetings commence Sunday as the hot stove is cooking.
There should be several signings this week and more coal thrown in the stove with several major talks in the making starting future signings.
WIN METHOD has proven beyond doubt he knows what he is talking about and Gerrit Cole wearing a Yankee uniform would be one heck of Christmas present for Yankee fans, particularly WIN METHOD yankee fans.

Re-reading the above three posts I have to believe Cole will become a Yankee. Been here on the blog since the beginning and WIN METHOD does not fool around or make things up. Cole WILL be a Yankee.
Deb F, I sure hope so. Hope no one throws a wrench into the works before the papers are signed.
Cole will still go thru the formalities of talking with other franchises.
Now we sit back and relax while other forums/blogs go crazy with guesses.
The only thing about Cole being a Yankee is that the contract has not been singed yet. For all intents and purposes Cole will be a Yankee.
Yankee make first offer for Cole at 245 million for 7 years. An ignorant poster at the nyy forum posted that the offer was not very good. The offer was the highest ever offered a MLB pitcher both in total dollars and highest AAV per season and the ignorant fool says it is not a good offer. This is the difference between ignorant stat frauds and intelligent WIN METHOD fans.
Steve, You calling a poster ignorant, which is a fact, gets you banned from the nyy forum. Therein lies the difference between them and the WIN METHOD. They can't accept nor deal with the truth. I know as you do also, we have, and others here have, been there and done that.
When Cole signs he will instantly become king Cole a merry young soul.
How much is too much for Cole? Any bid could be the final bid, and then you must pay for years and years. Bad luck, (deep regression or injury) could cripple your team for many years. A big gamble for a 1/4 million plus, plus.
If Cole doesn't sign with the Yankees, it's not going to be because of money. Cole has already stated that money isn't going to be the "end all" to his final decision. He's going to sign for a record breaking contract and the offers he rejects are going to be record breaking also. If he doesn't sign, it's going to be because he doesn't want to be a New York Yankee.
Why baseball WAR is meaningless and therefore useless. WAR = wins above replacement players.
If you put the highest rated 25 WAR players from the 2019 season on one xeam, WAR says the they would win 168 games. We all know that is impossible.
Izy Hernandez, If WAR is wins above replacement of average players, will should be able to assume a team of all average players would finish a season with an 81-81 record. That being so, it would mean if you replaced all those 25 players with the highest 25 WAR players with 168 wins above replacement then the team with the highest WAR players would win 81 games plus 168 games for a whopping total of 249 wins in a 162 game season. What garbage these stat frauds spew.
muchomachoman, Cole also said he wants to pitch for a contending team. The Yankees are a top contending team. The Yankees are willing to pay him handsomely. 2+2=4.
Washington Nationals have resigned Strasburg for 7 years and $245 million.
Hate to see what Cole will get and hope the Yankees don't pull the trigger crippling the franchise.
Norm Jackson, better them than us.
I don't care who signs Cole. NO, NO, NO player is worth what he will be getting paid for this contract. Over 300 million is utter Barbra Streisand for anyone
I think of it this way. Signing Cole for 8 years? and 300 million dollars? guarantees NOTHING as to the Yankees winning a World Series. The team wins, not one player. Again, I think Yankee management will do what THEY think is best for the their ORGANIZATION. It is their money and their name. I keep going back to afraud and his franchise killing deal with the Yankees. Yes the Yankees did win one World Series with him, but they added many other pieces that made the difference in that ONE 2009 season.
johnsondc, well said. What the Yankees do is for only them to decide. WIN METHOD has told the Yankees what they needed to know from him.
For the sake of argument, let us say the Yankees with Cole and the pitchers now in place, followed by the bloom and grow youngsters moving on up, can get to 5-7 WS and win 3 or more in the next 7-10 years...wouldn't Cole then be worth $300 million or a little more?
Victor Grandozi, Yes, without doubt if your scenario is what happens, but? what if? ________
___________________ fill in the blank.
Devil's advocate. If Cole comes up lame, the Yankees go all in with the quality young pitchers and win it all because they are forced to do what they should do anyways.
Wouldn't Cole look great in pinstripes.
Didi is gone. Signs one year deal with Phillies and Girardi for 14M.
Hot stove is scalding right now.
As stated here on the WIN METHOD blog, the Yankees will sign Gerrit Cole. $324 million for 9 years. Opt out after fifth year.
This will be posted in 2 parts because on character length limitations.

THERE YOU HAVE IT. YANKEE NEWS BROKEN FIRST, DAYS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. ONLY ON THE WIN METHOD BLOG WHERE THE MOST INTELLIGENT BASEBALL FANS IN THE WORLD POST.
WIN METHOD does it again. Number one Yankee site in the world. We knew four days before anyone in the media that Cole would be wear Yankee pinstripes. Lets go Yankees.
Really hoping Cole becomes a solid part in helping the Yankee team win. The Yankees paid his price, now it's up to him to contribute when it counts most.
All I hope for is that Gerrit can stay healthy. If he does that, I have no doubt he will perform.
Thank you to the three amigos, Hal Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman, and WIN METHOD.
Maybe the Yankees will make my hope come true in 2020. Ten straight wins. Had nine last season.
Great job by all involved in making Gerrit Cole a Yankee. I love this place.
One player is only one piece of the team. The team wins and loses with the contributions of each and every player. So, let's look forward to the 2020 season, and lets go Yankees.
Just heard the Cole signing is official. WIN METHOD knows.
I totally enjoyed the overwhelming hundreds and hundreds of posts on the stat fraud forums yesterday as they whined and cried all through the signing process. As I read each of stat frauds post all I could do is laugh, all the while knowing the were all in and all it came down to was the final details. I'm still laughing.
Steve, what may even be funnier, is the stat frauds think they are all knowing, while what
they really know could fit on the head of a pin.
Congratulations to Yankee management and all those involved in the decision to try to acquire pitcher Gerrit Cole and to all those who made it happen.
Great job WIN METHOD, love ya,
What a nice Christmas present from the Yankees. Lets go Yankees.
What's next for the Yankees? they are not going to sit around on their hands all winter.
WIN METHOD fans knew five fulls day before anyone, Cole was going to be a Yankee.
We have little to no chance of a stat fraud straying off the reservation and posting here for a while. They are completely dumbfounded and also just plain dumb having nothing to say re WIN METHOD nailing Cole five days before anyone. The stat frauds are disgraced and in denial.
It took a very long time, but the Yankees finally got the player who WIN METHOD told Mr.S to draft over a decade ago.
Yankees are bringing back Brett Gardner for 2020. Hooray! Solid contact hitter, solid defender, solid base runner. Something Clint Frazier is none of.
MLB hot stove rumors flowing steadily along. In my view, Cashman has moves he wishes to make and he is looking for suitors.
Less than 2 weeks until Christmas. Allow me to be first. Merry Christmas everyone.
Yes all, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all of our Yankee family from all over the world.
Spring training will be a fun experience this coming season. A lot of talent will be competing for playing time. There are also several AAA pitchers looking for a MLB rotation spot.
Jimmy Thames, Yes sir. Yankees are loaded and Cashman working to upgrade roster even more.
The Yankees lost their most steady and dependable catcher today as the Detroit Tigers signed Austin Romine. The Tigers have instantly upgraded their catcher position.
YankeeMike, Romine loss leaves Yankees needing a quality catcher. Having "meatball" Sanchez and Kyle Higashioka as the backup is not the answer for the season.
If I have to I'll live with Sanchez, but he has to bat no higher than 8th. The loss of Romine, who when he played, got many big hits against many teams, and in many big when it mattered most situations. Loved when Romine started games. Better defensively and better contact hitter.
Down to 2 months until spring training. Merry Christmas.
I would like to see the YANKEES get a decent left handed hitting catcher.
Wouldn't it be to some degree wise for the Yankees to give Happ to a team interested in him for very little, thus reducing payroll and opening a roster spot for one of the rookie pitchers to fight for this spring.
Juan Pablo Garcia, LOL, you just want Deivi to get to the majors quicker. Give him time, he'll make it.
Juan Pablo Garcia, Deivi will have to battle with Clarke Schmidt and Michael King. Deivi is younger and still developing so I believe he will start the season in AAA.
Merry Christmas to all.
yankeeclipper, Deivi wants to be Yankee bad. He knows what he has to do. If anything, he may be pushing himself to hard.
Garcia is going to be used in a trade, or he will wind up in the bullpen, as you could count on one hand the number of 5'9" starters in baseball.
Nick Holt, I disagree. Deivi is just 20 years old. He has moved up the ladder as fast as I have seen any pitcher move. He has played on seven minor league teams and has advanced from the Dominican League to AAA and has played always against player several years older and more developed than him. He is still blooming and growing. He will be a top notch MLB starter barring major injury. I believe the Yankees know this and I do not think he is going anywhere but to the top of the Yankee rotation.
coryankee, Hear hear! Add in Schmidt and King and you have three very possible major league quality starters on the cusp.
It is quite possible that in the 2021 season all three could be in the Yankee rotation.
Free agent signings and trades are happening quickly this hot stove season. It is smarter for free agents to get signed before Christmas and head to spring training with their new team relaxed and ready to go. Same goes for teams making trades. Better to know what you've got than to be wondering what you'll wind up with.
Not final yet, however it looks as if Arizona Dbacks will sign Madison Bumgarner for five years @ $80-90 million total.
счастливого Рождества Merry Christmas
As Christmas nears, more players are settling on contracts, and there are fewer big fish waiting to be caught.
Merry Christmas baseball fans.
We caught the biggest fish of all. We won the winter and are still fishing.
Cashman still has two more months to fine tune the roster. Hope German is good to go, but MLB is run by an idiot and so we wait.
German may even be better than Cole as he keeps developing with age into his prime.
Yankees sign old friend Adam Warren to a 2 year minor league deal. Warren is recuperating from tommy John surgery and will be invited to spring camp.
I remember when Warren was drafted. WIN METHOD really liked him. Number 2 pitcher from UNC The stat frauds and scouts loved UNC 'ace' pitcher who was drafted first round. WIN METHOD told Yankees Warren was better and to draft him. WIN METHOD was right again, the 'ace' failed miserably while Warren has had a solid career.
One week left folks. Merry Christmas.
Feliz Navidad.
Yankees have to clear two spots on the 40 man roster so both Cole and Gardner can be added.
Dinty Moore, Looks like the four vulnerable choices are Adams, Cessa, Holder, and Tarpley.
Cole signing announcement tomorrow.
Cole introduction at 11 AM today.
Yankee fan today, tomorrow forever.
WIN METHOD fan today, tomorrow forever.
If any stat frauds listened to Cole speak at his Yankee introduction event this morning, I hope some of them had the mental acumen to understand and see what makes for a WIN METHOD player.
I hope readers realize WIN METHOD talked to Gerrit Cole over a decade ago and knew he was WIN METHOD.
Merry Christmas. We WIN METHOD Yankee fans have gotten our present already.
Cole looked human today after shaving that foul beard and getting a hair cut. Welcome to the Yankees.
Cole wants to win the World Series. He came to the right organization run by the right people with great advice from the right people. Yes we can, let's do it.
Feliz Navidad a todos aquí en el blog WIN METHOD.
Cole to be the best will have to win and help his team get to the playoff and then advance thru the playoffs and then the World Series.
Six days until Christmas fans. Merry Christmas.
It is that time of the year to celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas to everyone and a very happy and healthy new year.
Think 2020 Yankee fans. It will be the year we do away with 'yes we can' and 'yes we will' and replace them both with "YES WE DID". Merry Christmas to all however you celebrate the season.
One heck of a hot stove for the Yankees and more to come?
Jeff Miller, we can't say yes we did until we do.
Feliz Navidad Merry Christmas
Five days left until Christmas. Is your shopping done. Mine is. Get a move on folks. Merry Christmas. Enjoy the season.
Joyeux Noël
WIN METHOD fans equal Santa Claus. Stat fraud fans equal Scrooge. Merry Christmas WIN METHOD fans.
Very likely the Yankees will not do any more deals until after Christmas.
Merry Christmas and happy holiday all.
Merry Christmas and safe journey for everyone traveling.
Buon Natale.
Merry Christmas.
Everything going smoothly for Yankees post Cole. Management touching bases with other clubs.
Yankee system is loaded so there is no need nor urgency to do much. If the right opportunity arises do what is best for the team to improve winning chances.
yankeeclipper, I agree. I want to see and give every chance to our fine young talent.
Just got home from shopping. I'm done thank God. Merry Christmas everyone. Let's go Yankees.
3 more days. Happy holidays to all across the world.
I hope MLB has made a decision on the Domingo German incident and has let him, his family, and the Yankee organization know already, even if we do not. It is a disgrace the way MLB does things in the dark, under a cloud, behind smoke, and with no transparency. Not with any details, it is none our business, but just with the decision. Bah humbug to MLB.
Merry Christmas to everyone else.
Yankeefan2....>>> I agree. As fans we do not any specifics. We only want a decision.

Stache Colinski, that is Czeck isn't it?
Barry West, yes it's Czeck.
Merry Christmas everyone who posts here. You are the wisest baseball fans in existence.
Two days left. Merry Christmas.
Best wishes of comfort and joy to everyone this holiday season.
Yankees have finally dumped Chance Adams. Traded him to KC Royals for single A shortstop Christian Perez. Big takeaway from deal is Yankees open spot on 40 man roster.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
That's one way of making room on the roster.
Chance had his chance and Chance blew his chance. Now Chance will get a second chance in KC.
Sammybigdog, well done. Your a poet and don't know it.
Christmas Eve. It's here. Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Especially to all posters and readers here at the WIN METHOD blog.
Merry Christmas, tis the season to be jolly, ho, ho, ho.
All our extended family has started to gather and there will be at least 40. Merry Christmas.
Betances has signed a three year deal with the Mets. Dollars no known yet. Betances can opt out after each of the first and second years however. The Mets deserve him for Christmas. Sort of like getting coal in your stocking, maybe????? Or he may turn out to be just what the Mets need.
The Yankees didn't want any part of Betances for 2020. Sort of like 'don't let the door hit you in the behind on the way out'.
Merry Christmas fans, love following all your posts here. We are number one.
Merry Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS
It is so nice coming here and reading so many Christmas wishes posts and positive thoughts. Other sites only have stat frauds bickering over minutiae that they have no say in, can't do a single thing about, and narry ever a word or two about the great Holiday Season so many people all over the world are celebrating.
Steve, I was just there also. You beat me to it with your post. In a way, very sad for them. No matter, Merry Christmas.
Another sun filled 60 degree Christmas day in North Carolina. Wonderful and glorious. Again, Merry Christmas all. Yankees all the way in 2020.
The Yankees have shown much interest in relief pitcher Josh Hader. The Brewers are looking for a big haul for him. The question is what will it take for both teams to come to terms.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Depending how close and even if a deal can be reconciled we may hear Yankee news between tomorrow and the new year.
Happy holidays folks and my best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.
Merry Christmas
