...yes, because the youngsters are immune from injury...it's not just the Yanx, look around the league...players get hurt, young and old.
who is more likely to get hurt playing (pick a sport): you or your teenage children (if you have any)? yes, players of all ages get hurt, but the older they are the higher the likelihood they get hurt and/or go through cold streaks. The Yanks have a lot of aging players through their lineup. Surely you realize this.
...I keep hearing this so I'll ask again, based on what?...is this just your personal belief/opinion or is there some sort of data?...for each time you name me an older player having a bad streak and/or getting hurt, I'll name you a younger one that is too...I'll wait.
Actually the injury demographic is pretty flat across age, race, country of birth. If anything, pitchers and outfielders tend to be injured more because their are more of them. But I guess if we want to believe is bogus stats and go with our feelings, there is movement called man-made climate change you can get involved with.
I think the point that was trying to be made was that if you put a 40 year old & a 20 year old in a foot race that not only would the 20 year be healthier enough to win 95% of the time but he'd also be less likely to pull a hammy of cramp up. JMO
The bottom line is that the Yankees need to get younger. They're old and there's no way around that. Over the course of 162 games in what you have to believe is a post PED era the younger teams will usually be much better off. Beltran 37 Soriano 38 Jeter 39 Ichiro 40 Roberts 36 Tex 34
...No, what they need to do is play up to their ability...and withe exception of Beltran and Soriano, they pretty much are.
Ah, he took HGH to speed his recovery FROM injury. No link between HGH use and injuries. You're confusing PEDs with anabolic steroids again. Do I need to hold chemistry class again?
...I'd like to know where all this concern and emphasis was when the team was winning?...or at the beginning of the season?
