They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

The fact Salas who’s hitting under .200 in A ball is starting is an embarrassment

I am convinced that if the Yankees best player the last decade was a diminutive middle infielder, then nobody would care about Spencer Jones |

One of his bombs went 471 feet. Not convinced he'd be out of place at the MLB Home Run Derby right now.

Anyone else not in love with Teel’s receiving during the futures game? Likely just him catching new guys he’s never seen before as it’s not something I’ve noticed the few times I’ve watched him with the sea dogs, but just something I’ll keep an eye on the rest of the year.

I did a double take listening to the latest great pod when Geoff Pontes was searching for favorable Vance Honeycutt comps (a.k.a. NCAA hitters with a high K rate who were later successes) and named Spencer Jones... let's not count him as a success just yet (and also yet another reason Honeycutt is not #1 on my board of likely available picks even if the tools are loud) |

Could it possibly be because he's a Yankee? |

Wasn't sure a good place to comment this, but this season has me acting like Homer here:
