He was a very dependable player that went about his job quietly and let the others take the bow. A player such as him we need/have on our team...if one counts a few Farm Hands!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-36246994589116838282015-03-10T11:26:10.592-04:002015-03-10T11:26:10.592-04:00patrick, it all comes down to health.

All the new free agents have a full season under their belt in New York, there is new found depth and youth being injected into the team and the talent will win out more times than not. I share your thoughts on Tyler Austin, although naturally I do now know of Roy White. My mom was born in 66 so...

We have some very good pitchers and very good prospects on the way for position players, some of whom I would like to see playing this year.<br />We have an abundance of BP pitchers and I do mean...a bunch! About five starters on the way some closer than others but they have all shown great progress so far. If Tank and Pineda can get over their health problems we will have one hell of a starting rotation for the foreseeable future.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-71065272981343193352015-03-09T22:55:16.960-04:002015-03-09T22:55:16.960-04:00Only a teaspoon...that's all I've had !
I...Only a teaspoon...that's all I've had !<br /><br />I watched pieces of today's game vs. Tampa twice. So now I've seen the whole deal.<br />I must say, coming out of this long winter, that I now must redirect my thoughts on<br />where this team is headed.<br /><br />I know, I know...we've only seen snippets of this Yankee team, but is there reason for hope.<br /><br />I see pitching that has a potential to step forward, and contribute.......big time.<br />I watched Michael Pineda again...healthy, and very Seattle like.<br />Nathan Eovaldi ? You'll never miss Prado, honest. Rothschild has started his make over with him.<br />You can't teach 97-98 mph. Some players today had their hands full with Eovaldi.<br /><br />Greg Bird...a hitter. A lefty hitter. MVP of the winter Arizona League. Reminds me of O'Neill.<br /><br />I could go on, and common sense tells me that it is early. But.........for many reasons I have<br />become fixated on Tyler Austin.<br />A very talented young player, who has shaken off that wrist injury. And he is healthy now.<br />A most decent young person, of good character. <br /><br />I don't know how many of you remember Roy White ? A LF from the late 60's- mid 70's.<br />Very similar to Austin. White was solid, and a main stay for many years. A character type person.<br />That's how I see young Austin. Will be hurt me, if they lose / trade him.<br /><br />I'll finish. I think this Yankee group of young players is coming faster than management thought.<br />After the past three years of vanilla....how great is that ? Gives me hope.<br /><br />It is time to step out from the darkness, and to carry the banner of 'The Evil Empire'...again.<br /><br />That Gravatar of Ken Reed. It took awhile, but now I can see....<br />The 1996 movie 'Fargo'...Ken is the guy putting the bodies into the wood chipper.<br /><br />patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-24595009674010485692015-03-09T20:01:52.029-04:002015-03-09T20:01:52.029-04:00No No he is the best GM on the market.

...Boston Globe / Cole Hamels.......calm down, lads.<br /><br />Consider the source of this enticing trade rumor....Nick Cafardo.<br />Cafardo, of the Boston Globe. The Globe, the birthplace of the term..'Sox Nation.'<br /><br />He placates his Sox Nation readers, with any rumors, that belittle the Yankees at every turn.<br />The Nation lusts for a Yankee mistake. Read his words re: Moncada. <br />By the Yankees not signing Moncada, they gave the Sox the reincarnation of Carl Yastrzemski.<br /><br />This guy names players from other teams, involved in the Hamels pursuit.<br />But names no Yankee youngsters in the proposed trade.. Wonder why ?<br /><br />If Hal Steinbrenner wanted a pitcher this off season...he could have gotten James Shields.<br />Almost the same pitcher, almost the same monies, and you don't lose young talent.<br /><br />Don't think for one second, that other teams don't see what young players the Yankees have<br />starting to rise to the top.<br />Any four, or five of them, if obtained...could alter another teams direction. You know the names.<br />For a 31 year old pitcher, who is not a Sabathia of 8 years ago ?<br />Screw them, these are our guys.<br /><br />We say this all the time here......Hold your cards, the teams future is in your hand.<br /><br />Nice post by 'edwardgeneral' today.
