Honestly, after watching years or spring training you realize that spring training stats mean absolutely nothing and aren't a predictor of anything for the season.
Here's one thing I can predict: the next time the Yankees play a game on the West Coast I'll be asleep before Gardner steps to the plate for the second time. I'm actually too bored by this team to be worried.
Our only hope is the old injury bug. Unfortunately, it struck the most interesting player we have ( Pirela ). But unless, hamstrings, and wrists, and oblique strains hit about 6 players, we won't see any young talent. Refsnyder is nearly hitting .400 in spring training, but Drew's contact keeps him at second. There is no longer any hope that the Yankees will play the guys who are performing the best on the field.

ReplyDeleteESPN headline: "Joe Girardi no fan of Brett Gardner's wall-climbing skills"
ReplyDeleteMaybe he's not hitting yet, but he does realize that sports are entertainment.
You are right. You can't predict baseball.

ReplyDeleteThat is the truth. The team is unwatchable.

That is boring.
