Booch Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Poor Yosh.....Guess its Richmond time...free's up some money for Schoen..... Just now, Mike said: I don’t hate that at all. Yoshi gets his cash, Riders get a diminishing asset, Drew Richmond gets a chance to play. Yup...they likely paid large for it as they were not the only team in on him...and yes he is on wrong side of dominant now....Richmond will be no drop off....Cheaper for next few yrs....and allows us some cash to move to another position Piggy 1, rebusrankin, Stickem and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah....he will bring vet leadership to that group....but its a weak group...not sure him out on the edge is gonna be the magic elixir there....but glad he gets paid....and we all know its likely a hefty tag Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geebrr Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Interesting that he signed a two year deal rather than the one year deals he was doing here - definitely getting paid. Noeller and Stickem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just couldn't hold guys back anymore. I am sure Yoshi was a tough decision, but those saying we are running it back with old guys need to walk that back a bit. Moving on from a guy like Yoshi proves we are looking forward not backwards. Dr Zaius and Bigblue204 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hold our horses on that though, there’s absolutely nothing saying this was a decision we made. It’s not as if we released the guy. Could it be that? Sure. As of right now, impossible to say.

He has lost a step, and although he was still very good losing another step would make him a liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Yoshi choosing to move on is an extremely low % probability. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ok with it, we can’t afford to pay him what he deserves under the SMS. Richmond has to get a shot eventually. 5 minutes ago, JCon said: Okay.... Whatever this means. What?

Booch Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 For him to lave....believe me had to be a money issue...and Ssk paid a ransom. Is this the yr too, that he falls off the cliff....could be said he was on it last yr, guys with his body make-up...especially at a position requiring some speed and finesse at that age tend to decline...fast o become injury magnets....super glad he getting bank tho! Walters is a smart G.M and once it got to be not worth the price tag he walke away....good on him, and we have adequate replacement with Richmond, and the guy from Hawaii as well we just signed I see much the same going to happen withBO.....and effectively now, you can give that 175k we likely would have sent to Yosh toward Schoen. as Yosh replacement will be under 90k Bigblue204 and Piggy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the field, I think we'll be just fine with Richmond. Bigblue204, Booch and Noeller 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Honestly I have no problem moving on from yoshi if someone else is paying him big bucks... just wish it wasn't the riders. That team doesn't deserve to have character players like that. Bigblue204, Noeller, GCJenks and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Sorry to see Yoshi go. Agree it seems smart moneywise and it may be smart talentwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
