Well damn… not like I put the idea in their head or anything. Or was it so obvious that anyone who didn’t follow even half the season would have known it would happen?

But heading Cleveland’s pitching development is something; maybe he has some insight on players (Kluber and others) that the Yanks have been eyeing for a couple of years now. And to say that they’ve produced some interesting pitchers is an understatement. The Yanks have needed to readdress and change (update) their approach with pitcher development, which has been their most glaring weakness. Let’s hope this is a bigger step than we realize in the right direction.

His interview lasted several hours from what reports have said. And being a well-respected game analyst for a high-profile team doesn’t hurt his chances of having a more impactful role with the Yanks soon enough.

Beltran also had a marathon discussion last off-season with the Hal and Cash and it got him a consulting gig with the team that he’s parlayed into a manager gig. I wouldn’t be too put out by this just yet, Cone may be Cashman’s ace in the hole.

I think it would have been great to have a coach called Bulldog who could get in kids’ faces and also know how to read a spreadsheet. But you’re right that it’ll be nice to keep him in the booth!

I’m almost always out near the extreme end of the Old School ——- Analytics spectrum, but I have to agree that Cone would almost certainly be better.
But, this is better for us, to keep him in the booth!

Analytics is a useful tool, but it’s just a tool. Cone is open to it, but he also spots when a pitcher is just off. And he knows about struggling on the mound. Ninety percent of the game is mental, the other half physical as someone once said.

So yeah… I was right. No coaching experience, a yes man/rubber stamp for the analytic folks

It strikes me as a bit strange how these guys who got paid some serious bank during their playing days are taking coaching jobs? Mark McGuire, Cone and many others. I understand their love for the game but some guys don’t make a lot in MLB and really need the cash to get by.

Steinbrenner was a hardass no doubt, but he also brought back a lot of players to spring training to give them a paycheck. Not sure the new regime does the same? Also the guys in the 70’s (Reggie Aside) weren’t making the kind of scratch that players are making now.

One thing CC took with him out of that clubhouse was a big supply of Old School. Cone could bring some back in.

I’m for Cone being the pitching coach live streamed daily. Win win.
