Kevin Maas.

[talisaynon]

Dave Eiland

Superstar Pitching Phenom turned superstar Pitching Coach.

[Otter]

Ron Hassey

[Matt39]

Matt Nokes.

I should start a name a bad Yankee from the 80's to mid 90's thread.

Oscar Azocar

Oscar Azocar

Steve Farr

It's funny you bring up that name. I was at the game where Oscar Azocar had his first hit.

Paul Zuvella

[talisaynon]

Man, if only Azocar was still playing today. I could just imagine Sterling's gems:

SWEET LIKE AZUCAR

HE PUT SOME AZUCAR ON IT

AND THE AZUCAR DADDY DOES IT AGAIN

[Otter]

Paul Zuvella

Lee Guetterman (sp?)

[PS17]

Chuck Knoblauch

[Otter]

Chuck Knoblauch

Chuck is too good to be on this list.

Mike Blowers

[nyjunc]

Dale Berra.

[Matt39]

I dont understand how Scott Kaminiecki was allowed to pitch in important games. I cant remember one time that guy actually pitched well for us. He sucked.

[Scott Dierking]

Dale Berra.

Dale was the king of catcher's interference

[AFJF]

It's a tie between Marcus Lawton, Kevin Mmahat and Wade Taylor.

[nyjunc]

It's a tie between Marcus Lawton, Kevin Mmahat and Wade Taylor.

Can't mention Taylor w/o Jeff Johnson and Jimmie Jones.

[Otter]

Wayne Tolleson

[Klecko73isGod]

I can't believe there's not a single vote yet for Scott Sanderson.

I saw him beat Roger Clemens on opening day 1992. Or was it '93?

One of the few good players on those teams

[JonEJet]

Randy Velarde

Close 2nd is Mike Blowers

[Lil Bit Special]

Armando Benitez

[Klecko73isGod]

One of the few good players on those teams

Yeah but all you really need to know about those team's chances is to know that Scott Sanderson was the "ace" of the staff.

Thank god I convienently started to care about the yanks in 95/96. It's funny, I know so much about the 70's yankees, and virtually nothing about the 80's besides Mattingly.

That is what is known as a Yankee bandwagon fan

Wow...I was at that game too. I think it was all down hill from there.

[AFJF]

Can't mention Taylor w/o Jeff Johnson and Jimmie Jones.

Funny thing is that I almost did but didn't want to clutter my choices with six names. I remember going to a game started by Jeff Johnson against the Twins and he took a no-hitter in to the 6h inning.

[nyjunc]

Clay Parker

[Klecko73isGod]

Wow...I was at that game too. I think it was all down hill from there.

Pretty much. But the groundwork for the dynasty of the late 90s was being laid at that time.

That was when they stopped trading for every over the hill FA slugger on the market and built the farm system back up. Bernie, Jeter, Posada, Rivera, Pettitte, Soriano... all of those guys would have been traded in the 80s.

When George got suspended and Stick was allowed to rebuild the system. I think we need to thank Howie Spira for his role in building MLB's only dynasty since the 70s.

Bump

[Thor99]

So far tonight, it's Phil Coke.

[Otter]

Mike Pagliarulo was my favorite Yankee for a few years in the 80's.

[JonEJet]

So far tonight, it's Phil Coke.
