  1. I'm wondering why nobody else sees what our minor league players are doing. We have better options at just about every position. You didn't even have to mention Refsnyder. I understand that they can't release Jeter or the underperforming McCann. But they can release Roberts, Johnson, Soriano, and even Suzuki.

    1. I hope you're not surprised. I mean, the Yankees have never been known to lean on their prospects over veterans.

      Not saying I wouldn't like to see the kids get a shot over has-beens like Roberts and Soriano, but I'm certainly not expecting it.

  2. I didn't mention Refsnyder for the simple fact that he's only been in Triple-A for a couple weeks, didn't wanna rush him too much.
