Yankees Pitching Depth | Profile & Projection | 880

These guys, guys, man, hi, welcome to a players profile and projection episode here on talking to Yanks brought to you by SeatGeek. We're talking about your favorites Cordero, Corot, Davey, WebDog, Vasquez and Burrito. You clicked on this. You wanted it. Jake. Wow. Thoughts. Wow, Jim, this is this is the big one. You know, not sure if we'll talk Matt Bowman, Ian Hamilton, non roster invite six innings clean. You're a Yankee fan if you're listening to this. So for that, we think we salute you. Yeah, saluted. We salute you, Jim, every year, every year, the New York Yankees, they go out to the Bronx, New York and compete against the best teams in baseball. And some years they come out on top. Jim, every year we see some pitchers get appearances with the Yankees. Here's some names from last year. OK, Anthony Banda, Shane Green, Glasses, Shane Green got hurt right through like one inning, got hurt. Luke Bard. Yeah. Jacob Barnes. Yep. Came over from the Sox. David McKay, one dollar man. Chichi Gonzalez. Yeah. Manny Ben, you got to start. Chichi got to start, right? Sure did. And he pitched well, right? Manny Banuelos. Well, he got a lot of time run. He went to the Pirates and judge hit a bomb off him. He helped the cause. That was nice. Didn't Chichi like pitch decently well in the start? He did. Four point to one earn. Ryan Webber, the web dog, five games. Yeah. Ten point two innings. Well, how many are zero? Yeah, he was good. I mean, most of the times he came in, everyone was like a handshake. Let's just go home. That's he was better for the rate for the pace of playing baseball games than the pitch. Webby, you just entertain them. We ain't swinging. J.P. Sears pitched twenty two innings for the Yankees. Yeah, it was good. He was nice. So every year we get some sloppy Joe pitching. Yeah. And, you know, sometimes out of that beautiful things can appear, which, you know, I'm on the Johnny Brito bandwagon because why not? Why not? And I think the names we're focusing on this episode, Jimmy Cordero, Matt Crook, Debbie Garcia, Ryan Web Dog, Randy Vasquez and Johnny Brito. Yeah. And my guy, Jimmy Norwood. You're on Jimmy Norwood. Why wouldn't you be? Although I will say I read something the other day that James, James Norwood has a chance. Yeah, he's been good in spring. Six point one. Shutty, what do you want? What do you want from me? He's giving up a run. Are we riding or dying? He's not. And I'll be in Hamilton. Excuse me. Yeah. Jimmy Norwood's. I was going to say something. OK, don't say it. Seems easy. Who do you like on this list? Who's that? The uniforms they wear. I mean, it's just a whole spoonful of indifference. Yeah. Matt Crook looks like a litany relative. Right. That's cool. That's by some of that. Are any of them lefties? Matt Crook. OK, so he's going to be on the roster and everyone has him on the roster. I got a hand up. I'm not the biggest Matt Crook. No, I haven't been seen a lot. Your hand is up and you are not the biggest Matt Crook. Yes. But do you think Matt Crook is going to be on the team the entire year, pole to pole? Well, right now he's actually off the roster resource. Why are you being on? Who'd they change him out for? They have Jimmy Cordero and Weiss Weissert on. What? Sorry. I just started, like, becoming the biggest Matt Crook fan. You are just about to stand Matt Crook. I mean, do I even go look for his videos now? I would look for a Matt Crook video. His name doesn't pop up like when you do. I'm like the video search. He's not in the system. And I guess we throw D.J. Snellen in the mix for this just because we are a D.J. Snellen show. Yeah, no, he'll come up at some point. Tyler Danish. I'd rather eat him. It's a tricky name, isn't it? One of them is going to surprise us. Right. And we're like, oh, I think here's what we need. I found Matt Crook videos. Johnny Burrito is 25. Yeah, and he's a prospect. He is. He's different than the rest of these guys. Randy Vasquez. Is this same? Randy Vasquez is 24. Is a starting pitching prospect not a really like Crook's a reliever, right? I believe he was stretched out last year. He can do multiple innings like Braveheart. And just a reminder, for those of us newspaper purchasers, Davey is still 23 years old and he has found some V. So it's, you know, my stock is low on Davey. I never sold it. Never. I lost a lot of value on it. But there is some Davey resurgence conversation as he's actually had a nice spring. So we like that. My random Matt Crook video was a hit. I didn't like that. How does that happen? That's trying to see in it again. All right. This one's a ball. All right. To Andrew Knapp. No, the count way high catcher didn't catch it. Here's a here's a called strike. He's got some funk. He like dips his hand. He's a tall dude. And he his hand goes below his knee. Oh, he's one of he reaches back a little bit like under his butt like Lincecum did. The Lincecum did it. He was short. So it was like, you know, he's tall and doing it. Limbs everywhere. OK. All right. Matt Crook. OK, so that's Matt Crook. Matt Crook and Jimmy Cordero are probably the two most rumored to be in the bullpen. Jimmy Cordero, I've talked about a little bit on recent talking Yanks. He he's pitched in the major leagues. His his baseball timeline is a little funky. He gets called up in 2018 with the Nationals. Twenty nineteen. He has a really nice season with the Chicago White Sox. Way to go. Thirty six innings a two seven five era. Twenty twenty. Thirty games. Bad era. The peripherals aren't as bad. And then I think he kind of got sucked into covid hell and he was hurt. Jesus. Injured. Co-signed him last year as he was like recovering from TJ. Had a big year for Triple-A. He had a two oh nine era in thirty two games in Triple-A last year. Fifty strikeouts. Thirty eight point two innings. Sinker slider guy. The Matt Blake specialty. They do like that. And he does have options for an older player. There's some debate on the Internet. Different websites that track it say different things. Oh wow. They've taken away his option on fan fan graph seems to be the one that's changed this happened before and the Yankees like put in a call and they get Albert Abreu last year. Yeah yeah. So all right. The Yankees will make that call. They did that with Davey this year too I think. I mean why not. Can I tell you something. Yes. And it's not telling it's asking. I'm watching James Norwood pitch. Yeah. You're back to James. Does his delivery look like Adam Warren's delivery which is so deep and funky. He's taller. Not the same body type. But this wind up I think this is Warren's wind up if I'm remembering correctly. Can you see. I can see. Similar. OK. You're on Norwood. I wanted him to have a bit of a cooler wind up and stuff going on. But he looks nasty. He's got a nice change up. Is he going to accept an assignment. Twenty nine year old non roster invite. I would assume so. Whoever's not going to accept an assignment makes the roster. In my opinion. You think that's how they're doing their decisions this year. Well they're going to. Hey you think this guy is going to accept. Well then why lose him for nothing. He's sticking around. Oh but Norwood said he's not going to accept. Put him on the roster for two weeks. But what if they all say we want to. Well they don't know. You think it's like a mutiny. Johnny Brito three games seven point two innings a three five two era. Debbie Garcia like I mentioned nine point one innings a one nine three year old Debbie. I think so. And Kay does that. It's going to just Davey. I don't know. Everyone thought it was Davey and then I think people started with the Debbie. Beebs you Debbie or Davey. I think I'm Davey but I want to be Davey in the Navy. Baseball reference is Davey talking with Davey still in the Navy. Yeah. Oh Tyler Danish had a bad spring. Keep bringing him up. Five games three point one innings 14 and runs a 37 point eight year. Not good. Not ideal. Is anyone that's making these spots staying with the team. That's the question because I genuinely think that usually the people that make the spot out of camp it's more like a Pete Cosma situation where you know you're just going to cut him soon. The end is near. So it's like a guy without options that you're going to give him two weeks then you're going to DFA him instead of the guy who you know starting the minor leagues will call you up and then you're actually going to get more run for us. Right. That's how I usually feel they treat these spots. Yeah. Especially with so many of the injuries returning or anyone not on the floor. If you're on the 40 man you're making team. So that's that's the rust roster crunch for me. You're not going to put someone new on the 40 man just to have to DFA him later when all our relievers get healthy. Yeah. And I think that's where Jimmy Cordero is on the 40 man and I believe Johnny Brito is also on the 40 man. So those are the two guys that have jumped out to me early on. Like right now I think Brito is our sixth starter. So if one more thing happens I think he would be thrust into action and he's young and hey who knows. Like you know I don't have a young guy clicks. That's the stuff you get excited for. Jimmy Cordero. James. He's got a little bit of less less major league success Lou Trevino going on that if it works in the sinker sliders working the Yankees will be happy that they tapped into that and they will want to keep them around and they can navigate younger guys or injured guys around him. So those are the two that jump out to me. You know I love Davey Garcia. What about the web dog. I think Davey Garcia gets his full year of triple A and it's a real fight or flight year for him. Either clicks or doesn't web dog. I know I'm going to see the 41st man. He's accepting an assignment. He loves these. Actually he's going to not accept an assignment. Test the market. Come come tail between his legs. So in conclusion this was the Yankee slot and why not Matt Crook. He's fun. You think Kayser would have some good calls for Matt Crook. No but Sterling would. He steals some outs. Oh yeah. Matt Matt Crook because he likes and he likes ending the inning. Now when you're someone hooked by now look that's a crooked book. You've been pretty gross this one. Disgusting. Where was I. I've decided that they do have similar deliveries.
