any way,,, I guess , I can't be too awful critical of the Best TEAM in baseball. right now after 81 games. at 50 wins, 31 losses,,, that's 19 games over .500 , (we can debate that "over 500" thing later) They have best Run differential at 96 ,,, the next team is Texas at 79,, - that is they scored 96 more runs than they have given up,,, the worst team are the Pirates at a Negative 182 !! They are tied with SanDiego with the most Road wins at 22,,, and only Atlanta, and texas have better home Records than the Yankees,,, Attahced here are the AL East Standing going into today - July 5th,,,,
Ok,,let'sgo quickly now,,, with the Grades,,,
Pitchers overALL a "B"- Sabathia, Hughes,and Pettitte have 10 wins. All are in the 10 top in the MLB in Wins, whiel NONE is for ERA (see the +92 run Differentail) The Team is 13th in ALL of MLb, and 6tth in the AL in Pitching,,, None are in the Top ten for WHIP or ERA,,, SO - let';s say the 3 guys get A's or Maybe A minus,,, while Burnett , and Vazquez get C minus,,,and more for Burnett, he wasspose to be the DEAL , but guess not ! The bullpen can get a B - Chamberlain has been shaky, Chan HO = D,,,Robetson - b minus,, you never know,,, BUT the Yanks have that ONE guy,, that everybody else wishes they HAD,, and all the WANNA BEES can line up again,,, Mariano is the best,,, check these stats,,, ERA .111 (he was at .830- he gave u a run yesterday - oh my) 32 GAMEs - 32 innings - 16 hits ! OMFG ! 32 Strike Outs - 6 Walks ! and WHIP of 0.68. 18 saves,,, and 2 Blown saves,,, Batters hitting under .200 - ENTER SANDMAN indeed !
Infield -
Tex - Fielding A+ - the guy misses nothing, and Saves errors,,, you can't get better,,, Hitting - "C" ok April is over time to get going,,, don't give me this Just get the RBI's thing that Sterling and Waldman have een talking up....
CANO = what to say = MVP year (so far) give 'em an "A"
Jeter - is Jeter - the Captain - he still swings at too many 1st pitches for a Lead off man,,, a B ,, Minus
Alex - "A" minus ,,, great fielding - Again,,, and take these 1/2 way stats and double 'em (I know ya can't do that - but I bet he os better in the 2nd half) He is hittin .276 - beet thats close to 300,,, .295 maybe. 12 Homers, and 62 RBI's - so thats 24 Homers - I bet cha it's closer to 30 than 20,,, and 125 RBI's , Nice,,, I hope A-rod gets Numero 600 at home,,, 5 to go....
Gardener - B - Good outfield, needs to steal more with that speed....
Granderson - VERY Steady - excdllent Outfielder - B minus
Swisher - A minus,,,, he gets added points cause he loves the Creatures, and we love him,,, Hope he makes the All Star TEAM,,, and can't wait to get the Next Swish Salute at Role Call,,,, He and I know this is outside the Scoring system, does some outstanding work in the community, and visists kids (even on the Road) in hospitals,,,
The bench Guys get a B , maybe B minus Just none there that worries me coming off the Bench,,
hey Catchers - Jorge - B , and Cervielle - A Minus,,, watch it Jorge , this kid can PLAY...
Coachs - Girardi - a B - WAY better than the last two years !!
Kevin Long seems like Genius as hitting coach at times,, and Eiland is clearly needed as the Pitching coach,,, Mick Kelleher at 1st - ah Waht does a 1st Base Coach do except get the hitting pads from the runners,,, and tell every body how many outs there are ??? Robbie Thompson,is gonn aget someone killed or lose critcal game by sending runners,,, yesterday prime example,, gets 3 guys tossed at the Plate, ! Jesus wept...
so thats it,,, a B over all, I think is fair,,, they should be farther ahead, but YOUR team can never be far enought Ahead, and This is the AL EAST , where you have 3 teams of PLayoff Caliber,,, and only TWO are gonna get Dance Cards,, the other is gonna get a plane ticket home ! ok 7 to go till allstar Break - NY . vs Oakland starts tonight, and no that A-Hole Braden (ok so he oitched a no hitter) is not getting a start .vs NY,,, let's watch to see if OUR A-ole runs across the mound,,,I am laying money HE DOES !
