All Or ( More Likely ) Nothing....

 So the bullpen had a melt down.  A perfect storm of a melt down. And the Yankee blew a 6-4 ninth inning lead and lost to the KC Royal family. 

So the reaction of the Yankee brass?  

Trade ( but do not consider using ) one of our top pitching prospects for another " veteran."

The team is proving the that Cashman and Boone do not trust a single player in our farm system.  We don't bring up Florial or Andujar, but we give away multiple 22 and 23 year old "prospects"  for Benitendi.  

We keep Gallo as insurance. Not give a moments thought to one of our two .300 hitters in Scranton.

I am just saying this;  the Cashman/Boone protocol has always been to over-hype our in house talent;  give the league a game or two to see them live ( or pay some former scout to compare a prospect to Mike Trout,) and then  trade them for " veterans.

We trade for guys who have proven themselves like Gallo; Donaldson, and now Benitendi and this 29 year old Cub reliever.( Editors note;  we got Carpenter for nothing).

So when all is said and done, the Yankees either win it all this year or revert to an aging, expensive team which has already proven, despite all the tweaking, that they are not good enough. 

To, once again, have baseball's least talented minor league system. 

And muddle on forever with Cashman and Boone.  

Losing and making excuses. " I thought he had really good stuff, actually.  He just missed with one or two pitches.")

Personally, I think this team has no chance. There is no one young and full of energy and spirit.
