Default Re: Someone\'s gotta be fired on the Yanks

i find it funny that the very same people that were drooling all over the yankees when they were "the hottest team in baseball" are the same people saying they're in major trouble. this team is exactly the same team as the team that won all of those games earlier. and oh yeah, the season is only 1/3 of the way done!

baseball is a lot like poker. there'll be a lot of up and downs but in the long run we should see what we expected to see. its pretty clear however that the yankees are not as good as everyone expected, but to say that they're awful and the season is over is an overstatement as well.

also for those who say tony wolmack should be starting over caro and that he has certain intangibles are misguided. i even read something that went as far as to say wolmack has been a career starter while caro has been a backup to prove wolmack's worth. that's utter nonsense. wolmack is a career out producer and the only reason why he has been starting is because general managers and coaches aren't nearly as smart as they should be.

oh yeah another thing. please seomone for the love of god show me these so-called great prospects the yankees have traded away. it's my understanding their farm system has always sucked and haven't produced a legit player since Jeter (and Nick Johnson if you want to go that route). the yankees have always spent far too much of their resources in aquiring free agents and trades to even properly develop their farm system.
