unbanmadmike1 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Every player you hear them connected to is worse than the last and they are doing nothing to replace the guys they are going to lose. This could get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt39 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Levine and Trost are pretty similar to Woody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The staff and pen will be good. Youk was a very good signing. Basically all they have lost is Swischer unless you think ARod had anything left. Maybe they can pawn off the two over hyped ML pitchers for a power hitting LF. Phelps would also surely draw interest. Right now they are still a top 5 AL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are relying on a core that is in their late 30s. I think they will get there 15+ HRs from everyone and be good. They might be too big to fail (e.g. fall under .500 like the Sox), but I could see them struggling big time this year if the old players get old.

I just think having a rotation that is 6 deep along with a good pen hides a lot of weaknesses. Youk should be an upgrade over the 2012 ARod. Ichiro seemed to find himself again once out of that wasteland known as Seattle. They do need as you state for Tex-Grande and Cano to have normal injury free years. I am anxious to see Toronto this year. I think Balt was a one year wonder and the Sox still need some work. Rays could be very good if the kid they traded Shields for is ready for prime time.

Blackout Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 we still got Cano, Ichiro, Grandy and Gardiner in the lineup and Jeter will be back by May (or sooner) and CC is still on the team. we'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 we still got Cano, Ichiro, Grandy and Gardiner in the lineup and Jeter will be back by May (or sooner) and CC is still on the team. we'll be fine An outfield of Ichiro, Granderson and Gardner has a lot of speed. It will be very disruptive for pitchers facing the middle of the order with guys on base all the time. Granted the Jays look very good, but we shall see,What would worry me is the Yanks' starters being another year older for CC and Pettitte and the rest being kinda average on a good day.

Bob Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 They'll have their hands full in the division with the improved Blue Jays and with Baltimore and Tampa being legit contenders. To say they're bad is just silly, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
