    That we keep hearing about that kept us from getting the best pitcher on the market plus
    Another hitter for this pathetic offense. Wondering what everyone’s thoughts are!

    The Yankees under the Steinbrenner helm, and yes that included Papa George, have always over-hyped Yankee
    prospects…..to such an extent, the kids were always collateral for “experienced thirty-something ballplayers”……
    thank you, Brian Cashman!

    I'm more pissed now then I ever have been, this year's trade garbage is the reason why, the very reason why Trashman needs to be shit canned immediately!
    I have no doubt if King George were still alive Trashman would be fired by now, or years ago.

    Pitching staff flat out sucks. Even Cole has his bad moments.

    Would also fire the entire coaching staff. Throughout the first half of this year I thought Matt Blake had finally figured out how to convert the pitching staff into winners.

    For years now injuries have plagued the Yankees. A deep look into the training staff seems to never have occurred, and may need to go to. Dillon Lawson needs to go as well, as the anemic bats testify to his termination being necessary.

    And of course we all know BaBoone needs to go.

    Jordan Montgomery had the least run support of any of the Yankees pitchers. He goes to a team with a decent pitching coach and run support, and becomes an overnight sensation. Why can't and didn't the Yankees Coaches, and Hitters do this? Because they don't have a clue, and really never have.

    No doubt there's some pretty good talent on the team, and it's pretty much a self-driving car or Cadillac. Anybody could coach this team and have success to some degree. BaBoone lacks every aspect of coaching necessary to win in postseason. I cannot recall the worse coach in the history of MLB!

    Good point, which I didn't address proper.

    1) I'd like to see either Oswaldo Cabrera at SS or Anthony Volpe at SS.

    Or-

    2) Cabrera at 3rd and Volpe at SS.

    3) Call up Florial and keep him at CF. DFA Hicks once and for all, or send them home for good and pay him to stay there, where He can do less damage. They need to let Florial play an entire year and then make a decision about him after that year.

    4) Of Florial can't handle NYC after 1 year, then bring on the Martian Dominguez!

    There's no plan. Just old overpriced free agents. Don't be the least bit surprised when Judge isn't a Yankee next year.

    As Ron mentioned in a prior post: to paraphrase- If "Judge isn't a Yankee next year"he will not be a Yankee fan after his 63 years of loyalty.

    Same here, after 66 years as a Yankee Fan!

    This team is being poorly mismanaged so it shouldn't be a surprise if the prospects are as well.

    Gallo and Montgomery are good examples too.
