1. Javy Vazquez, who has never pitched well outside the NL, will be booed out of NY. He is the Yankee Bill Buckner.
.2. Curtis Granderson is one bad month from being platooned.
.3. Nick Johnson's .275 and 8 HR numbers make Bobby Abreu look like Babe Ruth.
.4. Robbie Cano lost his best friend; remember his season after Larry Bowa left?
.5. Who needs a hard-throwing lefty in the bullpen, anyway!
.6. Right now, our starting left-fielder is Jamie Hoffmann. (Anyone remember when Josh Phelps was our starting 1B?)
.7. What a message to send: Play well in the post-season, and you'll be traded!
.8. Our only big OF prospect is Slade Heathcock, and he'll be at Staten Island.
.9. We're actually figuring Nick Swisher will have a season like last year; he's making the rounds of TV shows, fer kricesake.
.10. "Getting younger?" We've traded 4 of our top 10 prospects: (Jackson, Dunn, Vizcaino, Kennedy.)
Until we won the World Series, the best thing that happened in the last five years was that we got the fuck rid of Javy Vazquez. Now he's back, and we're supposed to act happy?
Three of the most popular Yankees in recent years -- three major contributors to the World Series victory -- pitched overboard. And for what?
This is the cruelest abuse of the Yankee fan base since the 1980s.
BOYCOTT THE 2010 YANKEES.
DO NOT PAY TO SEE THE
RIDICULOUS
CASHMAN CLOWN CIRCUIS.

Abajo con Ca$htro.
Wow this place has gone totally Negative Nancy lately.
Grow up. Not every move will be one you enjoy. You probably didn't even see a World Series coming. Stop acting like you're the end all of Yankee fans.
"Negative Nancy?"
I agree with El Duque full heartedly. Maybe I won't enjoy every move, but haven't enjoyed one. Dont get rid of real Yankees for MEDIOCRE (at best players)
But what if we ARE the end of all Yankee fans?
What then?
If that happens to be the case, we are totally screwed. Have you thought of that?
And Bern is right. Negative Nancy?
I hate Vasquez. Swiftboat veterans for melky. I like how the baseball writers were saying "It's someone of interest to Yankee fans" last night when Cashman was on the precipice of signing Javy. He's only of interest to me because I spent the past five years hating his guts. I thought Cashman was talking about someone who could pitch in big situations. I really thought they'd give Melky more of a chance to develop. Look how long they gave Bernie. The only joy I'll get out of this is that everytime Assquez fucks up, the crowd will chant: "We want Melky"
This is why I wish the Yankees didn't care so much about winning every year. Its more fun to root for a kickass team with loveable flaws than some faceless monster winning machine.
1. Vazquez was an all-star in 2004 and pitched the second half of the season hurt. He's pretty much an innings eating strikeout machine which makes him an ideal #3 starter. If you want to blame somebody for 2004, blame shoddy relief pitching, awful defense, anemic offense and poor management.
.
2. A 30 HR centerfielder coming to a hitters park and surrounded by one of the premiere lineups in the game will be fine. His only deficiency is his numbers against left handed pitching. Frankly, he's better than Melky Cabrera in every aspect of the game.
.
3. Nick Johnson's an OBP machine. And so was Abreu. Having men on base is a good thing. If you're going to have a criticism against Johnson, it should be his injury history.
.
4. Robbie Cano's problem is plate discipline, not the number of buddies he has to party with at 2am the night before a game.
.
5. Phil Coke is a dime-a-dozen reliever. A lefty specialist with a 4.50 ERA isn't anything to write home about.
.
6. Actually, right now the starting LF is Brett Gardner. The season also doesn't start until April, last time I checked.
.
7. I think the lesson is "be a mediocre 4th outfielder and you're expendable"
.
8. Colin Curtis had a terrific season in the AFL and is expected to compete for an OF spot in spring training.
.
9. Why wouldn't he have a season like 2009? Those numbers are very close to his career averages.
.
10. Jackson is overrated (look at his AAA numbers. 123Ks doesn't exactly profile you to be Bernie Williams II ). Ian Kennedy sucks. He's maybe a #4 starter for a .500 NL team. Get over it. Dunn isn't even major league material. Vizcaino is a teenage prospect which is hardly bankable for the future. I bet you thought Eric Duncan and Drew Henson were can't miss prospects too, huh?
Why do I get the sense this blog is written by somebody who booed A-Rod up until 2009 and can't name the shortstop before Derek Jeter?
Now duque, we're not gonna do anything stupid, are we?
Nobody's gonna hurt anybody. We're gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? Come on duque what's Fonzie like?
What? He's Cool?
Correctamundo. And that's what we're gonna be. We're gonna be cool. Now Alphonso, I'm gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your keyboard, and sit your ass down. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.
