The New York Yankees fans are jumping off of bridges,
running around like chickens with their heads cut off and declaring their
never-dying love to their secret crushes in droves right now. The world is
coming to an end and the sky is falling after the Yankees got swept by the
Toronto Blue Jays inside Yankee Stadium this past weekend. The call for
Cashman’s head, the firing of Joe Girardi and the need for a big move are
ringing all across the nation and they only got louder when James Shields
cleared revocable waivers this week. Earlier today I had my say in whether I
thought Shields should be a member of the Yankees but I wanted to give you,
everyone reading this, the opportunity to also be heard on a bigger stage.
Sounds like the beginning of a Twitter Poll to me.
@GreedyStripes yes! I've always wanted him in the Bronx, his FB/CH combo is deadly and I think it would also help out other pitchers in NY

@GreedyStripes no. he has a horrible contract and he's declining. flyball pitcher which means he's a recipe for disaster.

@GreedyStripes yay. We need all the help we can get, and we are already screwed with contracts for 2 more years so why not

@GreedyStripes NAY. Prior to 2013, Shields ERA/WHIP in Yankees stadium was 4.73/1.23. Reason not that way in 2013/14 is that Yankees sucked

@GreedyStripes no save that doe for price or cueto ain't making a difference anyway this year

@GreedyStripes Yay! He knows the AL East and had plenty of success there. Yanks need stability and innings, he give both. #BigGameJames

@GreedyStripes No he's not worth the money yes the Yankees need a pitcher but Shields isn't the one its not worth breaking up the farm.

I’ve had my say so I won’t beat a dead horse here. I think
the Yankees are fine and I think they are getting that inevitable cold streak
out of the way in early August rather than late September. It’s not always the
best team who wins the World Series or their respected leagues pennants, it’s
the hottest teams. The San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals were
simply hotter than everyone else and rode the Wild Card One Game Playoff games
into a hot streak and into the World Series. There is no reason the Yankees
couldn’t do that in a Wild Card Game or an ALDS game after winning the
division. I don’t think Shields is a necessity and unless it is an absolute
salary dump where we give up prospects that I, the self-professed prospect
humper, never heard of or care about then I think I have to pass.
Everyone has their own opinions and they are entitled to
them, that’s what makes these posts special and the whole social media thing
special (most of the time anyway). To be involved in our next Twitter Poll post
head on over to the app and give @GreedyStripes a follow. Then be on the
lookout for out next Twitter Poll tweet. We will not use your answers without
letting you know first.
