The Elephant in the Room

 I have remained relatively silent as the Yankees have vomited ideas all over themselves during the " off season."

But the obvious misjudgment so far is this:

1.  We had a legit, "gold glove" super star in right field ( Judge ). So the Yankees "idea' is to move him to centerfield, for which he is neither well-suited nor close to being a gold glove.   

2.  We moved the earth to sign a legit 4 tool guy, to make up for the fact that Stanton has become a 1 tool guy. 

 Unfortunately, Soto's missing tool is called " outfield defense."  So, the Yankees will start him in RF.  Now we have weakened 2/3rds of our outfield.

3.  In LF, we have the disgruntled, now beardless Vergdigo, whom many say is a worse teammate than Josh Donaldson.  He can't run  and he has a modest arm.  But if he hits .250 we'll all drink champagne. 

So while the Yankees tell us they have strengthened the team, they have built an outfield defense that ranks between poor and medium. Not the sign of a champion.  

And we haven't even speculated on what happens if one of these starters gets tweaked. We'll probably wind up with our back-up catcher playing CF. 

Luckily,  Dallas was embarrassed by Green Bay, and the Eagles collapsed.

So all is well until the Yankee games begin.
