Boner said that German and Lasagna could both be in the Rotation to begin the Season as per Meredith Marakovits.
Yankees play 16 of their first 21 games against the Orioles, Tigers, White Sox, and Royals — Yanx were 25/12 vs these 4 bad/horrible teams in 2018, BUT t/Yanx gotta do better in April vs these 4 .... Anything less than 2 of 3, or 3/4 will haunt 'em throughout the season. I don't expect the Team to go on a terrorizing hot streak as they did last year. It would be nice 2c, but highly unlikely imho ... 2 of 5 Starting Pitchers will be on the DL to start the season. If one counts CC as one of five. I'm having a hard time believing in the CC Kumbaya Kool Aid ...
At the idea of the Yankees signing Kackel because of the Severino situation Russo said flat out no. He quoted the Yankees early schedule but Shine quickly reminded Russo of the Yankees record against Baltimore last season. Buck could outsmart Boone but he's gone. I remember some huge dumb moves by Boner against those teams last season. If the Team fails to do well against those teams maybe we'd see Boner fired.

Once again it is sunny but chilly as the Florida sing song weather continues. Forty for Two days, the 70 for two more. For the past three weeks I'd been coughing up crap I haven't seen since High School Biology. Another day of Boner the Bubble Man.
The RedSucks nationwide TV station, espn/ rspn, again airing their baseball team vs Minnesota Twinkies as the showcase game of the day! Espn is the sports’ take on the Republicans’ political take on their ‘deep state” world.
Her I am, back and bitching, worried about the Yankees Pitching. Paxton had given up 3 hits, luckily no runs. Remember the '84 padres in the World Series, great bull pens but the Starters were a total bust. I see that on the horizon for this team.
Florial is top Yankee phenom in their system and plays CF. As this kid continues to get better, the Mike Trout sweepstakes may not have a home in Yankeeland.
