Yanks Have Easy Time Faking Trade Results

It had to have been the plan, all along.

Cashman can trade seven ( was it seven?) prospects for excess baggage of other teams, and claim victory.  Worse, the " Citizens United " press who cover the Yankees will do it for him?

Why so easy?

None of the Yankee prospects are on a major league roster.  Not yet.  We won't see any of them until the September call-ups, and that doesn't count for much either.  By the time five of our traded prospects are all stars, the entire Yankee roster will have been re-made, wars will have broken out in three countries, and Trump will be in an old folks home drawing in the sand.

In short;  we will have forgotten about them.

Meanwhile, we have performances to measure.  We can say;  Todd Frazier hit a solo homer last night; Sonny Gray only gave up two runs in 6 innings, and David roberson is no worse than Tyler Clippard.

But try comparing them to Mateo, Fowler, Enns, Kaprilien, and the others I can't name.  You can't.  No one can.

So the yankees won the trades because we have guys on the field.

Just to summarize the impact of the horde we accumulated:

1.  The trade deadline ended July 31. 2017 at 4pm.
2.  Trades became official at that time.
3.  August 1,2017, therefore, is the starting point from which results can be measured.
4.  Todd Frazier is hitting .205 and is 2-20 in his last hot streak.
5.  The Yankees have not won a single game.
6.  We are averaging 1 run per game on offense.
7.  We had three errors in one inning when Sonny Gray pitched.
8.  The Garcia guy throws about 80 mph and didn't last five innings before the game was out of hand.
9.  The impact on the young Yankee team has been devastating.
10.  The team is boring and unimaginative.
11.  Girardi has stopped managing, if he ever did.
12.  Cashman is signing his new contract, and putting his bonus check in the bank.


Have a nice day at the beach. Our season is over.  The youth movement was a fake.
