Sanchez can be the back up catcher and part-time DH to give the team some right-handed pop. Judge can be on the Scranton Shuttle if Beltran or any outfielder goes down. Between Severino, Warren, Mitchell (hopefully) and Rookie Davis eventually the pitching staff should be okay. Bird at first base in case of a Teixeira injury. Aaron Hicks in the outfield. <br /><br />Lots of options this time around.Daniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-22103760377345711572015-11-30T17:25:38.834-05:002015-11-30T17:25:38.834-05:00Understood, and I didn't think you were puttin...Understood, and I didn't think you were putting down anything I wrote. I just wanted to say it before it really came up, this was just for the division. Playoffs are much tougher to predict and one player, especially a SP, doesn't always get enough opportunities to make the impact they want to.Daniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-50542804494204561142015-11-30T17:10:16.810-05:002015-11-30T17:10:16.810-05:00I didn't mean to impute anything you wrote Dan...I didn't mean to impute anything you wrote Daniel, I understood what you wrote it was good as usual. I was just reading it from all the blogs and it just couldn't go unchallenged...maybe not well but, the idea was there. Use Kansas City as a model, as it seems they are trying to do...or have a better model for others to emulate.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-71344695385782419062015-11-30T16:57:02.871-05:002015-11-30T16:57:02.871-05:00I was!

But the way things turned out by getting to the playoffs was a revelation of sorts.<br />Tex and A-Rod went down the last month of the season and look what happened, it seemed like at times a few of the guys played as though they had given up. I don't look for that to happen again. In 2016, we will have three older players getting a year older, how much can we depend on them? We had better not have to find out, injuries to Beltran, A-Rod or Tex and the team looses one hell of a lot of production. Those three along with Brett need rested more than ever before...I think! Therefore, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see them have Bird in the Show sometime in June...or sooner.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-60455630551399068872015-11-29T15:23:40.706-05:002015-11-29T15:23:40.706-05:00Reed,

I think that was said last year about a team in our division, right? What happened to them in the run to their World Series Victory? They didn't make it but, why not, they had everything they could posable have to get the job done...on paper!<br />News Flash! A paper is fragile and gets shredded very often when faced with a team that knows how to play baseball the way it was designed to be played...good pitching, great defense, timely hitting to keep the line moving = WS Win!<br />Can the Yankees catch up and build that formula? Homegrown talent and pick up a needed player or two along the way!<br />The season is 162 games plus the playoffs and then the Big One, for all the marbles! The best team is not always the winner...the four best games is the winner!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.com
