Biggest knock is that there is ZERO depth on that team. With the very first injury, your newly signed RF (for 15M/year) is playing out of position at 1B. Never even heard of the guys manning SS, and we knew 3B was a black hole before we started, right?
...and those folks seem to be doing pretty well. If I learned anything last year is that "has-beens" and no-name rookies can do OK. Hell, we won 85 games in the AL East last year with bandaids and chewing gum, without Pineda and Tanaka...
3rd base wasn't all a "black hole"... Kelly Johnson is no slouch... not a A-Roid in his prime, but he'll do.
Aside from the pen, pitching has been ok so far, CC's a big question mark still, though.
The pen did more than OK against the defending world champions.
And like I've said, CC reinventing himself will take some time... I watched the whole game on Friday, he really pitched well aside from a couple pitches that weren't missed by the batters.
Tough to just hand-wave past this, as a certain amount HAD to be expected, and there's just NO ONE on the bench or in the minors to plug the holes. So when the expected happens, it's a tough spot.
No one said a "certain amount" wasn't expected, but did you expect Robertson to go down? I just hope Jeter isn't being rested or worse when I go to the Bronz to see my Bombers play the Reds in July.
YES, I'M GOING TO THE PALACE!!!
So, we were yankees haters for pointing it out in the offseason, and by tax day, we're already proven right. And we haven't even gotten into the 'real' injuries yet, still dipping a toe in the 'sore back', 'tight hammy', and 'need a breather' days...
Probably makes you feel good, predicting the obvious and all.
It will be fun when this infield with no range, playing on crutches makes the play-offs.
Everytime I hear someone mention money while talking about the Yankees I just shake my head... they could spend 400M on a team...
Guess the Dodgers are the "evil empire" now, eh?
I loved that lady with the frizzy hair, the expressions on her face.
