What I wouldn't give for a losing season BUT with a fresh roster of potential talent on the rise. This would be a team I could follow, with a shred of hope and a little excitement.

Yoan isn't bad, actually, but it may not be good enough. 2014 was a banner year in the history of untraditionally-named Yankees, but we are down a Yangervis, a Zolio and a Zelous. We don't even have an Ichiro, Alfonso, Esmil, Hiroki or Shane, and I'm grabbing at straws with those. Or a Francisco, which is the most straw-like of them all.<br /><br />Masahiro is pretty much all that's left, and like the other Japanese names, the only unusual thing about them is how they sound to the average yahoo's ear.<br /><br />The thought process of Shallow Hal (who sees gorgeous, young, Mantle-esque overachievers when he looks at injury-prone, creaky "stars" and total mediocrities) remain a mystery, but there just might be something to the name game. Although replacing a David with an Andrew and giving up a Shane while signing a Chris certainly doesn't make sense.<br /><br />Chase, however...but that could just be the warm feeling Hal gets when he hears the name of a megabank.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-60344674440451081062014-12-17T12:52:36.766-05:002014-12-17T12:52:36.766-05:00Dear ceeja,
The flaw in your reasoning is the ass...Dear ceeja,<br /><br />The flaw in your reasoning is the assumption, " I'm happy they actually want to re-build the team."<br /><br />They don't. Certainly they don't know how.<br /><br />Otherwise, they would be doing exactly as you suggest.<br /><br />Which is proof that they have no idea about re-building.Alphonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294726065596642068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-84083127145339531112014-12-17T10:52:43.265-05:002014-12-17T10:52:43.265-05:00The Teixeira, A Rod, Beltran, McCann, and Sabbathi...The Teixeira, A Rod, Beltran, McCann, and Sabbathia deals all deomonstrate the foolishness of the old Steinbrenner strategy.<br /><br />I'm happy they want to actually rebuild a team. BUT: why not sign these young international stars and why not play the Triple A guys who do well, like Refsnyder and Pirella? <br /><br />I'd like to see them build a core of good young players, then spend like drunken sailors to supplement it.ceejanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-24274906617623196172014-12-17T09:20:44.104-05:002014-12-17T09:20:44.104-05:00Sorry, but we already traded the farm for Daedelus...Sorry, but we already traded the farm for Daedelus.<br /><br />Cashman does not want another on-the-field controversy; who plays SS?
