Spring decision: Fourth spot on the bench

The Yankees know Andruw Jones will be their fourth outfielder. They know their utility infielder will be one of two candidates. They know their backup catcher will be either Francisco Cervelli or one of the young guys. The spot that seems wide open is the fourth man on the bench, a spot that could go to either an infielder or an outfielder, a power bat or a pinch runner, a defensive replacement or a potential pinch hitter.
The possibilities
The Yankees could go almost any direction with this spot. If they want additional outfield depth, Greg Golson and Justin Maxwell are both speedy, right-handed hitters who could be defensive replacements or pinch runners, and Colin Curtis could be a left-handed balance to Jones. In the infield, the Yankees could choose to carry both Eduardo Nunez and Ramiro Pena, or they could carry one of those two as a backup shortstop, with either Eric Chavez or Ron Belliard — or Brandon Laird or Kevin Russo or Jorge Vazquez — available to fill in at the corners.
The easy choice
That’s what the Yankees are hoping for: An easy choice. If anyone steps up in spring training and puts himself clearly above the other candidates, the Yankees choice will be simple. It seems that in an ideal world, Chavez will prove he’s healthy and can still hit for power. He would be a left-handed hitter on a predominantly right-handed bench, and if he can step in as the guy to give Alex Rodriguez an occasional day off at third base, that might be the best use of the fourth bench spot. Any other choice — either a fifth outfielder or a light-hitting second utility man — would have no clear role other than late-inning defense and base-running.
The alternatives
If Chavez is finished, the Yankees could focus on late-inning defense and base-running. Carrying both Pena and Nunez would let the team use either one as a pinch runner without losing defensive flexibility. The same would be true for either Golson or Maxwell, each of whom has enough speed to steal a bag and could slide into right field for the last inning or two.
Normally, the fact Curtis is a left-handed hitter would be a negative in an already left-leaning outfield, but of the favorites for a bench job, Jones, Cervelli and Nunez are all right-handed, and switch-hitter Pena isn’t much of an offensive threat from either side of the plate. If Chavez doesn’t emerge as a legitimate option from the left side, Curtis could bring some left-right balance to the bench.
The Yankees could also prioritize flexibility, opening a spot for either Russo or Brandon Laird as a player capable of filling in at the infield and outfield corners.
A separate but related issue
Eleven players had at least 150 at-bats for the Yankees last season (a group that included Pena and the since-departed Marcus Thames). Of the group that had fewer than 150 ABs, no one had more home runs or RBI than Juan Miranda. Defensive versatility is crucial on the bench, but the Yankees might be on the lookout for a hitter who can bounce back and forth from Scranton and occasionally give the Yankees productive big league at-bats, regardless of defensive ability.

I redict: Andruw Jones (if he is ever formally signed), Montero (maybe Cervelli), Nunez (unless he goes in a trade), and Eric Chavez (if he stays healthy).
GB
I wish I knew who all would probably be in Tampa.
oh and I found this newspaper in the breakroom at my work. It gave me a good laugh.

I think rosters should be expanded by one or two players.

Just got back from the mall. My daughter is now the proud owner of an iPhone. Yes, she wore us down. Not proud of that, but …
Some things that Collins mentioned in his rundown on the rotation is that Colon is either in NY or gone. Other things mentioned is that the chances of Romulo Sanchez of getting through waivers in order to keep him at Scranton are slim and none. Somebody will take him for a thin rotation or in the bullpen. Being overlooked, as Collins points out is that there are two other pitches that may figure into this. both Lance Pendleton (Houston) and George Kontos (San Diego) are rule 5 picks and if they don’t make those teams 25 man rosters for all of the ’11 season, they are overed back to the Yankees. If those teams want to keep them, they have to arrange a trade with the Yanks. Could that open up an expanded deal to include Myers or Rodriguez from Houston or perhaps Clayton Richards from San Diego?
TY, I still haven’t found a definite Tampa roster yet. I’ll put it up when I do. sorry.
I’ll be shocked if Montero makes the team out of ST as the backup catcher. Why waste a year of arbitration so that he can make 1 start a week, where he’ll probably be rusty as a hitter (because of the cold weather + sporadic playing time) and while he’s still learning to play defense?
Unless Russell Martin isn’t completely healthy, I think the Yankees will go with the safe route and take Cervelli up north so that Montero can get settled in at AAA. I do believe they’d like to call him up before rosters expand in September (possibly sometime in June) but not right away.
Doreen, good for your daughter.
But now down to brass tacks … do you know about Mobile Me?
Doreen, I always thought that 26-27 man rosters would help, especially with the way pitching is handled nowadays with heavy reliance on bullpens.. Maybe the Union pushes for it in the next CBA as a trade-off with owners for something else.
Anyone think that any rookies have any shot at all at making the roster. I think Montero stays put at the start of the season to give him another arbitration year.
Aside from maybe the owners of small market teams, why would anyone think that 26-27 man rosters is a bad idea?
I like the idea of a 26-28 man roster where only 25 players can be activated on any given day. Last year the Yankees often played thin because they had so many players who needed a couple days off but weren’t injured enough to go on the DL.
I’m assuming the owners won’t want to pay major-league salaries to an additional few players. But it shouldn’t make a difference because no team ever goes through a season only relying on 25 players.
GB
No Worries. The TY booster leader is usually good at spreading around rosters and things like that, so maybe she will get it. Im sure the lower levels arent as set in stone or developed as early especially being the majority of the prospects are in the higher levels.
from 08-10, Chavez accrued total of 64 games and 222 average 265 obp and 595 slug, those numbers would hardly inspire confidence from any offensive standpoint. I think he still has a glove, but he has got to prove he can hit and with power. The tricky thing is if he does demonstrate he can during ST, is there any assurances that he will once the bell rings. Just seem to be a lot of unknown to warrant his base salary of 1.5 if he does make the team.
GB-
I’d like your take.
Hypothetical question.
Let’s just say that Jeter goes down for an extended period (I hope not) with an injury and needs to be replaced for a significant period of time. Let’s say at least a month.
Would you be comfortable with Nunez as the everyday SS ?
Could he hold his own both defensively and offensively with Jeter out that long or longer ?
Moose was the hit on the Fran show yesterday…..
Wandy Rodriguez just signed an extension. I can’t see him being moved.
Potential bad years 2011:
Tex message BA 248 Rbi 93 hr 25 obp .325
Granderson 238 51 20 .310
Swisher 227 65 19 .329
Cano 289 84 22 .339
On Miranda, i think he can put up respectable numbers in the desert. good trade by Tower to pick up a potential Div II starter.
was at the Sun yesterday and at 80 yrs old the man has a great memory
MTU, I’d have no issues with Nunez being the shortstop for an extended period without Jeter. For those reading this, I didn’t say I wanted Nunez to be the full time shortstop over Jeter.
GB7 -
That’s exactly it. You don’t have starters who complete there games anymore. Relievers’ work loads need to be managed so they’re not pitching too often on consecutive days. The game is managed differently than it used to be.
Also, right now the game is in flux, transitioning from a power game to a more athletic one. Until the inventory (players) catch up (more athletic, versatile, toolsy guys), most teams could benefit from even one more player on the roster.
I like the idea, RS, of 25 active players on any given day, with 2-3 in reserve.
The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America’s Childhood
Andy Pettite with one decision has decimated the pitching staff:
1. CC Sabbathia slimming down to have a great year and then opt out of the contract. He will have a great year and move on to the Phillies or a team that is much closer to winning it all.
2. Joba lost a mentor.
3. AJ doesn’t have a good role model to follow. The mental toughness that Andy brought to the game and shared as a teacher is gone.
4. Young Master Hughes is ready for prime time and won’t be affected by the move.
5. Nova and Mitre or whomever the 4th and 5th starters will be ineffective.
Are there options?
GB7 -
I think you have a point with the size of the roster. Even if they changed it to a 28 man roster it would help, and expand the 40 man to 45.
Doreen
did she tell you she would feed it and take care of it?
Doreen -
Did she get the AT&T or Verizon version?
kate -
She did promise to take out for long walks, or rides.
I don’t think CC opts out. I think CC steps up to mentor the young guys, along w/ Mo, of course.
Doreen, I’d prefer seeing it as a straight roster expansion, becausae of things like long rain delays and long extra inning games. I can see it either way, though. The owners will want changes and expanded rosters will please the Union. The trouble with having the flexible roster numbers is how to pay them. Owners will balk at having 1-3 players being paid on a major league scale and not available for every game….especially for road games (meal money and lodging costs).
Kate
I just got back from the Justin Bieber movie. I am embarrassed to admit that I actually liked it. I would never give up my Backstreet Boys from 10 years ago, but if I was 14 again I would definitely have the Bieber Fever haha.
kate -
She darn well better!!!!
Big Al -
Verizon – that’s the service provider we have (husband’s phone is company provided and we get some discount).
kate -
I think you’re right, and CC has already said he’ll not opt out, and I believe he’s a man of his word.
Big Al -
That was pretty funny – long walks or rides. That’s about the size of it, right? And she’ll keep it fed (charged), I’m sure.
GB-
Thanks.
Just wanted to gauge what you though of his readiness.
I kind of figure hm as good for around .270-.280 with relatively few errors.
In other words, a pretty decent ML SS.
Doreen -
Good move, this way when she takes the new VW for a spin, she can call you to report on how well it drives.
CC, imo, is getting ready to test the market again. He will have a killer year, and depending on how well the Yankees do, he will make his decision whether to opt out. Losing the weight and getting in great shape tells me that he is seriously considering that opt out clause. It all depends on how well the NYY do. He will have had a nice 3 year run by the end of 2011.
MTU, over a full season, I think he can put up Scutaro numbers with better defense and more steals. Maybe 6-8 homers, though.
Doreen -
Hope you got her a BlueTooth devise so she can talk hands free.
I don’t know what it with the kids today, all they do is text, never talk to people any more. The words they use while texting is how they spell in school, oh well, things have changed.
The greatest game ever played..
GB-
That’s what I thought.
Why is Pena in the conversation then ? He offers better defense but way less stick.
Tyanks
glad you enjoyed the movie…just don’t put his poster up on your bedroom wall
MTU -
It’s hard for any part time player to be very productive, do to lack of at bats. Pena did manage some key hits last year. You’ll even hear regular position players say they don’t want days off, because they lose their batting eye and timing.
Big Al -
My daughter doesn’t drive and doesn’t want to. So, I guess I’m lucky there.
But my husband and I were just observing the younger set in the mall today – even when they were with other people, they were actively text messaging or otherwise engaged on their hand-held devices. It was amazing.
The other thing that was interesting was how crowded the mall was this afternoon – you’d think it was Christmas. Even if you allow for the fewer parking spaces due to the remaining piles of snow, it was more crowded than I remember seeing it on an average weekend. And the stores that were packed? Any electronics store (Verizon, ATT, etc.), the Apple Store, Godiva Chocolate and Hallmark. Surprisingly, the jewelry stores were not crowded at all.
Signing Andruw Jones pretty much sealed the deal as the 4th outfielder but any injury can see a quick call to AAA to summon any of Golson, Laird, Curtis, Russo or Maxwell.
Nunez and Pena may be kept to be used in part to replace A-Rod or Jeter when the team is holding a sizeable lead late in games.
I agree that a 27 man roster even for the 1st two months of the season should be on the table for the next bargaining agreement. Obviously, player’s options would not count against them.
Doreen -
They may have been shopping for Valentine’s Day stuff.
Al-
Right now I guess I’m hoping for Nunez, Chavez, Jones, Cervelli as the bench.
Don’t see the need for Pena.
MTU, not sure. He’s a typical utility type and handy to have. I think that he could hit a little better than last year, though. One thing about his hits, whether scoring or driving them in, he produces runs.
will a great ST by Jones take play away from Gardner
MTU -
Chavez to me is an accident waiting to happen, but, it won’t be my choice to make.
joeman – Jones came out of ST last year like a man possessed… and that petered out by the AS break.
During that time he was still barely outproducing Gardner.

I for one don’t think that Chavez makes through ST…..would be a nice boost if he did
Big Al -
Oh, absolutely Valentine’s stuff. But it was so many more people than I ever expected. And I guess most people are getting an iSomething.
joeman – i’m not saying no, just saying he would have to be performing at a level he hasn’t sustained in years to keep up with Gardner.
Big AL, those accidents has already happened to Chavez, u r seeing the result of the carnage.
the question for chavez is simple, can he still hit and hit for power. I guess is no.
Al-
If he is then he is easily replaced by a callup.
If he can stay healthy for a while he is an excellent fielder at 3rd and gives us significant left-handed pop off the bench.
If he proves he is able I take him. Nunez can handle the rest of the infield duties. He can even handle the OF corners in a pinch. He has shone some ability in the OF too. Not much of a declination in defense from Pena and way better stick.
Chavez is like thin glass, breaks very easily, and hasn’t hit worth a lick in several years. Just a waste of ST meal money.

plays well in ST and is in shape I could see him taking PT away from Gardner against LHP
I think Gardner is the full time guy in LF now and that he and Granderson will be given every chance to play every day. Andrew is there to pinch hit and to give them an alternative against tough lefties.y
Al-
You’re probably right but I hope you’re wrong.
I don’t see much of a role for a light hitting guy like Pena when already have Nunez.
Nunez can play all three infield positions decently and has a way better stick.
Big Al……just got this book wonder if you read it and your thoughts
The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America’s Childhood
MTU -
In the past 3 seasons Chavez has had 249 PA, hit 3 HR and batted .193.
Where do you see an upgrade. Even prior to 2007, he was a .247 hitter at best, I’ll pass.
I think Chavez is certainly worth a flyer to see what he has left. He’s not that old and could give them more experience and power as a corner infield backup than Nunez can. If it looks like he’s done in ST then just let him go….

———————————————–
so what your saying Jones takes no AB’S away from Gardner….
i could see Jones pinch hitting for power against lefties, but that’s about it (other than off-day duty).
Blake-
I see Jones as strictly a BU also but a decent one.
No chance of him supplanting any one of the regulars IMO
joeman – what is your obsession with drawing a line in the sand? no one can say definitively either way except for joe girardi at this point.
My guess, Jones takes more AB’s away from Granderson than Gardner.
Joeman,
Some maybe but I don’t think all that many……
Big Al – That actually makes sense. Granderson has the worse split against lefties. Late in a game I could see Jones pinch hitting for Granderson, then Gardner sliding over to center and someone like Curtis (?) coming off the bench?
MTU,
Yea Im not expecting many outfield platoons in 2011…..at least not initially. If Gardner or Granderson show significant splits as the season goes and Jones is playing well then maybe but I see his role simialr to the way you do.
I like the idea, if they put into the new CBA, a 27 or 28 man roster starting August 15, this would help all teams.

your right
Blake-
That’s what i’m trying to say. Let’s see what Chavez has left. If has nothing he’s gone.
No harm no foul.
With Nunez on board i basically see Pena as expendable. Why carry 2 infielders when 1 can do it all ? Why not have someone left-handed with pop off the bench instead.
I’d rather take Colin Curtis than Pena as the 4th guy.
Send Pena down to AAA or trade him. Keep him in reserve instead. Other than defense he doesn’t offer much.
Irreverent Discourse February 12th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
*************************
That was my thoughts as well. As far as adding to the roster, I don’t see any invites to ST that are better than the players we have in SWB. All they have is better name recognition.
GB – nice analysis, earlier in the thread, of the SP candidates. Personally, I think Sanchez gets dealt before the start of the season (out of options, Garcia has the experience of pitching/winning with less than his best stuff).
If Chavez can still play, I think he gets the nod. I remember seeing a spot on a TV show about him, back when he was still an All Star candidate, and he seemed like a real, regular guy. If he doesn’t get it, I’m rooting for Colin Curtis (also a good kid), then Greg Golson. I still can’t over that throw he made to nail Crawford at 3rd. I bet Girardi remembers it, also.
want to hear a interview go to WFAN Francesa…..Moose Skowron
MTU -
Ramiro Pena in 2 seasons with the Yankees, 269 AB, HR 1, BA .253.
Eric Chavez 249 AB, HR 3, BA .193
So, please explain why your so high on Chavez, because of what he did 4, 5, 6, 7 years ago?
Those were Chavez’s numbers for the past 3 years.
# joeman February 12th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
want to hear a interview go to WFAN Francesa…..Moose Skowron
————————————
this is for you old farts
MTU,
I think Pena is pretty expendible either way. Nunez can play all the positions he can and is a better hitter.
Those were Chavez’s numbers for the past 3 years.
–
He had a higher OPS than pena the last 3 years. Basically, an injury ravaged Eric Chavez managed to out play Ramiro Pena. Now imagine if Chavez gets back to what he was before injury. A player who can get on base and hit for power. Now he is even more attractive than Pena, who last year was exposed as being the no-bat he is. Pena’s run with the Yankees should be coming to an end. At most he should be waiting in AAA, but Nunez has to have passed him due to his offensive potential. The Alberto Gonzalezes of the world don’t get their days in the sun for very long.
I’d offer Chavez a non-guarenteed minor league deal. If he proves he can play, and stay healthy, then you could always bring him up.
Al-
Yes. That and he has way more ability if he is healthy. Most likely you’re gonna get your wish and Pena will stick. I’d just like to see some of the old Chavez if there is any of it left.
I just don’t see Pena as having much value other than defense. I’d like to see him supplanted by Nunez who i think is way better overall with a much higher ceiling.
Give me Colin Curtis over Pena too.
hey Joeman or others for that matter, would skowron put up much better numbers if he did not play in YS1?
Thanks, Joe. I’m guessing like you that Sanchez is gone in an expanded trade. I like Pendleton, but, there’s really no room for him. Sanchez is just too erratic, but, he does throw hard. I’d love to see a deal made for Richard and a minor leaguer (or preferably Mike Adams for the bullpen) with San Diego, but, not likely to happen. Maybe including someone like DJ Mitchell, Romulo Sanchez, Romine and if they like Kontos well enough, him. I’d even include a perfect fit for them, Jorge Vazquez from Mexico.
Chavez and that short porch in RF is intriguing if he is healthy and anywhere near the player he once was.
We’ll see what he has left in ST but if he looks pretty decent then a bench of: Nunez, Jones, Chavez, and Cervelli (or whoever) has pretty much every position on the diamond covered…..and also gives you a right handed and left handed power bat off the bench to pinch hit.
Jerkface -
You may have a point, but, I don’t see Chavez staying on the field, even as a part time player. To me he’s just another Nick Johnson, perhaps worse. Since I don’t make the choice, it really doesn’t matter what I think, it was JMO.
I just don’t see a role for Pena in 2011. Having he and Nunez is redundant and Nunez is better with more room for improvement.
GB-
Time to start separating some of the wheat from the chaff, and to clear the forest of some of the deadwood.
It will probably begin this Spring.
If we can get anything of value in return that would be great. Otherwise it’s disappearing time for some of these guys.
We’re bulging at the seams with talent.
my guess is Belliard and Nunez taking those two spots. With Nunez shagging a few fly balls and be the emergency 5th OF. But LH power bat off the is a consideration in this equation. But the… I am going with those two.

Chavez got a minor league deal, so I’m not sure what you’re kvetching about.

if healthy which is a long shot he could be a help
We need in the CBA coming up, the ability of teams to trade up or down their draft picks, and trade them away for players in deals.

Cash….listen to the interview….for a man in his 80′s he has as much recall as GB
The babies need to go for a long walk, catch you later.
It’s really tough to hit and be productive when you are constantly injured. Unfortunately he has been a constant victim of the injury bug the last few years. On harm, no foul on a minor league deal, just release him if he doesn’t measure up.
Like Chavez said himself his one goal is just to stay healthy and go from there.

was ther this much talk about Nick last year……..
Belliard is a real longshot to make the team. Girardi and Cashman like multi position players wherever possible. Belliard doesn’t fit that mold.
I don’t think Belliard or Colon will make the club….that’s just a guess.
Belliard really has no role with the Yankees, other than as a chance to give Cano a breather. Nunez/Pena can do that. He can’t play shortstop and shouldn’t be allowed near third base with a glove. I’m guessing that if he doesn’t accept a AAA spot, he’ll be released or traded.

have you and if so how.much have you seen Adams play? What’s his upside? I’ve read mixed reports on him..
will check it out Joeman, but currently watching Megashark vs Crocosaurus on sci fi. With Stefan Urkel as the main protagonist, simply ‘fantastic’ suff.
I’m really surprised that Andy McPhail would even get this close to tampering by even mentioning money about another team’s player while under contract.
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/.....rrero.html
Joeman:
How’s it goin ? Probably more talk about Johnson due to his wrist problem having broken down two or three times previously. I believe that Chavez has had many different injuries over the last couple of years including his back.
I can see Brandon Laird as the surprise of the spring. If he’s given enough playing time he can turns some heads which he did last spring but needed more seasoning at AA and eventually AAA.
He’s adequate at the infield corners and spent time last fall in the AFL working hard to get better at the OF corners. He’ll be watched closely by Girardi and the coaches / special instructors.
Also Johnson had a guaranteed deal and was being counted on to hit 2nd in the lineup.

Not big power or blazing speed but he an run, a real good gap hitter. Lots of doubles and some triples thrown in.

Doreen, belliard is a curious minor league signing, so, it’s possible that NYYs had a reason other than thinking he could help them. It makes sense and it’s been done before. Add him to a trade if a team has an injury during ST? He’s still a decent 2nd base glove and has always hit until last year, so, he could make a trade look better.

haven’t been there since last summer. Foxwood has a good poker room but Mohegan Sun is fancier. plan to go out there this summer.
——————————————————-
don’t go to Foxwoods much, Sun is closer for me …Jordan’s Steakhouse is the best place there to eat
Shark movies were scary
how about this one GB..bring back memories
