Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4490872, member: 405"] If that just got done, then that's terrific, and the Yankees will have excellent pitching, a very deep rotation if they stay healthy. Even a couple guys could get hurt, and they are 7 deep in starting pitchers. They need a couple contact hitters, though. The thing that made the late 90s Yankees so great was that they could play "National League" ball and scratch out runs. They made pitchers work deep into counts, batter after batter. They moved runners, stole some bases. They didn't just sit around and wait for the long ball, and had no "Plan B". The Yankees have been too dependent on hitting home runs for like the last 10 years. That's what I hate about modern statistical analysis and how it's changed sports. [/QUOTE]
