Many, many closers, and Boone says Williams is still the real one

The insane, delusional, incompetent idiot known as Aaron Boone has stepped up in light of the Yankees' acquisition of Bednar and Doval. Neither one is perfect, but aside from a crap July even Jake Bird is more reliable than Devan Williams. And we still have Luke Weaver, who--when he's not being overused or injured--is still a better closer than Williams.

So, we now have four "closers." Will one eventually become the actual closer? Williams ain't it. Even if Bonehead Boone keeps using him in that role, he's should be muscled out of it by--my guess--Bednar. When things become obvious, it will probably happen. But that's a problem with the Yankees: they wait too long to do anything when things are obvious.

Last winter, the hole at third base was obvious. The fact that we had a shitty bench was obvious. For two season, Volpe has been obvious. This year, it's obvious that the Martian should play practically every day. 

And in the meantime, the losses pile up along with the injuries...for which we have no real replacements, either. So we just wait for guys to recover.

By the way, I can see sending Hamilton down. The poor guy is just a shadow of his once-effective self. But wasn't de los Santos supposed to be good? Well, I guess sacrifices had to be made. Besides, at least we still have them when our crack coaching and strength training experts destroy someone else. 

So what do they do with Yarbrough now? Gil goes into the rotation. Warren? He's doing pretty well, even if he's not quite where he will be next year, maybe. Schlittler? Does he get bounced?

Naturally, we know Stroman should be the one who's knocked out of the rotation. The guy had a 7-0 lead last night and coughed up four runs in the fourth. Unbelievable. He's good for one time through the order, and that's it. Might be okay for the bullpen if he wasn't so underpowering.

At least we got this guy. Caballero might not be the Second Coming, but he's better than Volpe, even if Boone won't replace the bobblehead. He should rest him, though. Boone likes resting guys, and Volpe's offense is showing some signs of life, so Boone should be ready to sit him down. No such thing as a hot hitter, after all, and Volpe is only lukewarm.

We got a few interesting pieces this deadline. Yes, Jake Bird was not worth Riggio. But that was the only glaring mistake by The Brain.

Other mistakes may reveal themselves later on.
