My thoughts this year thus far...

I have not posted this season, but I've been watching, so I figured I'd share my thoughts thus far on where I stand with some players

-I convinced myself preseason that the Yankees were winning the WS, it's destiny, so I have not been flipping out that much and yelling at the players, for some reason I am content overall, its odd but I do have problems with some players
-Tanaka is amazing, in case you did not know
-CC should keep eating
-Kuroda is done
-I miss Nova
-Pineda is an imbecile, but he can pitch very well
-Whitley, Phelps, and Nuno are all whatever to me, I'd like to add a starter
-The bullpen is the reason this team has 39 wins, Betances is filthy
-McCann was compared to Munson by Gene Michael, I expected to love him, he may be one my most hated guys on the team, a 280 OBP pathetic
-I'm coming around to Tex
-Johnson is my least fav Yankee. Just not good, don't like his face, don't like anything about him
-I love Gardner, love, love, love, it's blossomed this year
-I never knew how good Ellsbury can be until I got to see him play every day, he's a natural and fun to watch play, but too streaky
-Alfonso is my all time fav but come on man
-I really like JR Murphy
-I like Solarte but I am afraid this is it for him

Well that is it

 

no strong opinion on him yet

 

I also had very high expectations at the start of the season. Very disappointing to say the least.

 

162 games/season, 9 inning/game, 3 outs/inning. Just some key stats for future reference.

 

I hear you Totus but we're approaching the half way point of the season, and honestly I'm not to optimistic that much is going to change in the 2nd half. JMO.

 

...^^^this.

...and I don't know how many times I've said the same thing.

 

...we all can read the standings, rick...but I guaran-damn-tee you they will be better after the AS than they have to date.

 

I hope you are right my friend but again I just don't see what good will happen that's going to change things enough for this team to be respectful. And please don't say the return of CC.

 

...the return of CC will put them over the top.


...seriously though, I still think McCann, Jeter, and Beltran can and will do better.

...plus, I do think some changes/acquisitions will be made.

 

Yep, tons of chatter in the press, Tv sports news, internet....about possible big trades before the deadline. Yanx know they've got to make a move, and they will no doubt....

As well, its a given IMO, we will see McCann, Ellsbury, Jeter, doing better by the weeks after the A.S. Break....no doubt IMO...2...!!!
