Maxman 538,566 #36 Posted August 14, 2014 Well they can forget the east now. What a second rate shit show of a team this is. The Yankees are having a bad year, and I hope this is the year they show Cashman the door, but I will never call that franchise second rate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unbanmadmike1 50 #37 Posted August 14, 2014 The Yankees are having a bad year, and I hope this is the year they show Cashman the door, but I will never call that franchise second rate. They have been operating like a second rate franchise for about 4 years now. Ever since that embarrassment of a LCS against the Tigers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxman 538,566 #38 Posted August 14, 2014 They have been operating like a second rate franchise for about 4 years now. Ever since that embarrassment of a LCS against the Tigers. They have to retool, what worked in the past isn't going to work right now. That said, I am not judging an organization based on a few years so I will never all them second rate. Historically speaking they are the greatest franchise in sports. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyCarl40 53,130 #39 Posted August 14, 2014 When was the last time the Red Sox and Yanks both missed the playoffs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
#27TheDominator 210,897 #40 Posted August 14, 2014 When was the last time the Red Sox and Yanks both missed the playoffs? I'm not sure, but I think it was back when half the league didn't get in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetlife33 4,567 #41 Posted August 26, 2014 Big series coming up against Detroit. Yanks are 2.5 GB of the second WC spot, with Detroit and Seattle ahead of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenorGato 13,955 #42 Posted August 27, 2014 Jacoby Ellsbury is such a good player. I really loved that move. He's one of the handful of domestic possible and actual FAs that I really wish the Cubs chased and landed. He's already surprising with the power, and I think he's going to age really well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's already surprising with the power, and I think he's going to age really well good player paid great player money. They somehow need to find a #3 hitter. Next season C- McCann 1B- Teixeira 2B- ?????? (Prado, kid in AAA Refsnyder) SS- ?????? 3B- ?????? (A-Rod? Prado?) LF- Gardner CF- Ellsbury RF- Beltran? (Prado?) DH- ?????? (Mostly A-Rod and Beltran I would think) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenorGato 13,955 #45 Posted September 3, 2014 Great player money is 180+ these days on the FA market...maybe even 200+. I could see the Yankees being players for Shields, Lester, Maeda, and maybe even Sandoval in FA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
