Here we go AGAIN,... seems like a long Winter,,,a very long time since the Greatest Franchise in sports, and world history WON their Unbelievable 27th championship !! Don't think they are the Greatest ?
oh yea,, What Team do you root against the MOST,,, THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES ? Bet NOT ! and who do you compare YOUR TEAM to ??? I bet its the Yanks,,, sure ain't the Freaking METS !!
ok,, so I tell myself EVERY Year,,, relax,,, take a deep breath,,, its a long season,,, and yet every night,,, I am on the edge of my seat,, hanging on each pitch ! ,, waiting for great comeback !,.... and the tension builds,, the expectations are so high. Maybe it's easier being a fan of a losing team.,,, YOU know in your heart of hearts that they suck, and they are not gonna make the playofffs,,, so when they don't it's no bigge,,,,
OK,,, I am not a blind Yankee fan like some.,.. there are good players on other teams , and "OUR" team has flaws,,, lets check it out ....
Pitching Rotation
CC, Burnett, Pettitte, Vazquez, and Hughes...
Ok,, CC , and AJ I expect they will both near the 20 WIN mark
Pettitte - I'd be thrilled with 15,,, and would take 12 wins
Vazquez,,, WHO knows,,, last time we saw him he was losing game 7 to the F SOX
Hughes, - I think 12 wins,,, might get surprised,,, but 12 is good,
Bull pen,
Mariano will be Mariano - AGAIN !
Joba - he is the Mo heir apparent,,, look for him to be Mr 8th inning,, and might even bop that goofy looking Pukolus in the head again !
Aceves, Marte, Mitre, - oh boy,,, betche its hit or miss
Chan ho Park, how old is this guy ? 37 !! he will end up either released or in AAA with the Agawa ! They got him caused he pitched well .vs the Yanks in the Series.,..
I like Robertson, and Aceves to get to the Big Boys
Line-up
Jeter - Same ole Jeets,,,
Johnson - will be on the DL more than in the line up...look for Randy Winn to get more play time
Teixeira - Huge year,,, just huge,,,
Alex - MVP type year,,,
Cano - will he survive hitting behind A-rod ? A-rod's year might depend on how well CANO hits...
Jorge - be interesting to see how many games Cervelli gets behind the Plate, and I think Jorge moves up to the 5 spot..
Swisher, - same as last year,,, real solid OBP guy
Granderson, may hit 2nd,,, How many times will he Strike OUT.. he hit .249 last year, but I think he was like 180 .vs Leftys..ouch !
Gardener - Can he hit enought to stay in the line up.,,, we will see,,, hope he gets like 30 - 40 games to find out...
Bench
Randy Winn - hmmm - IF Johnson cant play he might
Cervelli- I'd like to see him catch - alot, and DH Posada
Pena - just a kid,,,, don't expect much
Marcus Thames - My son loved this guy when we saw him at Spring Training a few years ago,,, Can he handle the BIG stage in the Bronx ??? i think so.,
