If you wanted to get really invested you could pull off a DFA for Beltran, see what the braves did with Quentin. Hell the Dodgers owe over 50 mill in salary this year to players on other teams.

I have no patience for Hal thinking we are idiots and say its WS or bust. This team might be better built to defend, however it is weak as chit and yes I used a c instead of an S so I don't offend anyone. I am not a Didi fan since the trade and he shows you bis baseball smarts or lack there off. Down a bunch of runs and your trying to steal third when a base hits scores you anyway. My 12 year olds I coach know not to do that. Yes its early but as Yogi said its getting late early.Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-8138292748622280762015-04-07T18:42:05.056-04:002015-04-07T18:42:05.056-04:00In the past I've not cared much at all about t...In the past I've not cared much at all about the kids, but I've changed my tune by finally accepting that this Yankees team is not a "winner". It's time to rebuild, and that starts in the minors with guys like Refsnyder, Judge, Bird, and Severino.

I think not!<br />I really am surprised that you came to that conclusion, not that I have an issue with your perspicuous at all, in fact, I applaud you.<br />They match what Daniel and I have been saying for the last year or more. I am thinking Bryan is not far afield either.

Face it without decent pitching we won't be in any games. We don't hit enough. 81-85 wins max for this group. If that's what this team is then I would rather see it with the kids. Anyone want to buy my two tickets for Friday night against Boston? If so let me know and we can talk further.Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-78266244265651634032015-04-06T17:42:04.826-04:002015-04-06T17:42:04.826-04:00Well, the Yankees went alright...down in defeat.

His stuff was sharp his command was a bit off on a few pitches. He has been tinkering with his mechanics, so that may be the problem to-day.<br /><br />Brett (the useless Left Fielder) hit a HR which saved us from a Shut Out on opening day!<br /><br />I was glad to hear them quote Billy Martin on how to cover the bag on a throw from the catcher.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.com
