I want to respond to my post to add that the NYYankees coming into town meant sellouts for those away games. Not any moreMLB has managed to beat down the NYY franchise to mediocrity The big market teams should be allowed to use their market share to manage themselves in the free market. Now its a fabricated forced leveling of the teams in the two leagues. Baseball continues to decline as the "great American pass-time".
Well the "NO" as inno offense is riding the same pony today 06-01-16
A bunch of old players on the field might be better rhan watching this collection boredom INC. I rest my case for tonight . THEY EFFN SUCK!
I think the MLB product (not the marketing) is as good as it has ever been. There is competitive balance and many young stars. The offensive decline has lead to closer games and faster play. It is a great time for outsiders to sample the game. Of course, MLB has a long way to go to transition back from a regional to a national sport.
The Yankees have hamstrung themselves by carrying a load of albatross contracts and not developing their minor league players. I have never seen a team so inept at teaching fundamentals and working with prospects in the early years in the "system".
Girardi has to go for sure IMHO.
I don't see Girardi as a problem. I don't think his decisions lose games and he seems to keep the team on an even keel.
no. not at all.
This is true but those"prospects" that had the start up talent were and are (few and far between).Jeter types and talent don't stay long enough for the team to latch on to the. I like the super scout guys like the one who spotted Mikey Mantle and a few others. The system was designed for helping the poorer teams catch up to the big boys. The system wasn't thought out whats happening now is defeating the purpose. The Yanks will never finish dead last so that number one pick is merely unattainable unless perhaps the teams are allowed to trade their picks for cash and or players. There might even be a legal issue involved but I'm not an attorney southeast out.
Giardi can only play with what is given to him. Breakable geezers and no clutch hitting by over paid players like Jacoby isn't Joe's fault Tex having to play half a season before he can hit to his numbers is ridiculous. Give Tex a QO and let him go Pick up a draft pic that might be valuable down the road.Aaron Hicks isn't Joe's fault. He isn't totally worthless. N one on a ML team is totally worth less. There are a couple farm players that can flat out give more than some on the 25 man roster. No, not Judge quite yet.
Sounds like Tex won't be back anytime soon.
It appears as though Tex will once aging on the DL. I serious don't think that he returns next year as a Yankee Bird will be the presumptive 1st baseman. If he plays well he will be there for a long while. They will give him a QO and wait for some team to bite
Thats OK he pretty much has lost all value to the Yankees and fans at this point his glove isn't enough to keep him unless he were to coach the position which he do from a wheelchair if necessary. Of course there is the real possibility he suffers a shoulder strain wheeling it out to first.
You forgot that Rob Refsynder player there yesterday. He is making him self very valuable to the franchise by playing the OF,2nd base and 1st while being a better hitter than some of the high price talent on the 25 man roster. Bird comes back next season and his gove and bat will put him the lead player there at 1st.
Danbyou figured it, and here I was trying to be inconspicuous and shy/withdrawn.
Oh ,Have you heard that MÇann is day to day with an elbow issue. Romine will see more duty until Brian returns shortly.
