This Week on the Blog

This week will have to be better than last week was.  I won't recount or chew on it anymore, but all four of our teams took major hits, and that's unacceptable.  So, onward and upward.

Rangers:  The Rangers have to win 2 more games to make it back to the finals.  They still need to tighten up their D if they want that to happen, but if Hank, Nash and St. Louis keep playing like they did last night, they can and will.

Giants:  The Giants will continue with OTA's on into their mini-camp.  Meanwhile, they have to find another OL.   With the injury to Beatty, they're back down to 4 and that won't work any bettter than just having 3 and two filler players for most of last year.  Something must be done, and the sooner the better for the sake of line chemistry.

Yankees:  The Yanks are at a cross roads.  The timely hitting they had in April and early May has dried up and it's putting too much pressure on the pitchers.   They need to solve 2B for starters, and have the candidates to do it.  Also, they need to reconfigure their middl relief and they have the parts to do that, too.  They just need to keep calling guys up.  Also, their draft start June 6, so we're getting really close.

Knicks: The Knicks need to hang onto pick #4, and see what else they can add.  Trading Melo should be on the drawing board.  I love Melo, but this is a total reboot, and if we can move him for the #2 pick and stuff it will be to our longterm benefit and probably his.

So, all four teams should have a sense of urgency. I hope things are going better for all of you.  And Anonymous posters, remember to get handles.   Otherwise your posts will be deleted.

For a team allegedly built on pitching and defense, the Yankees aren't very good at either at the moment. :-/

They're not this bad, but Cashman needs to be proactive instead of just sitting back and acting like everything will magically get better on it's own. Getting Tanaka back should help (who knows what to expect from Nova the first year following TJS), but certain veterans need to be benched and certain arms moved to make way for some younger players with higher upside.

Phil, would you please do something about the troll? :)

Thanks, Phil.

What in the world did the front office see in Gregorius?

Just play kids

I would legit send Gregorius down and start Drew at SS for his defense so as to offset Refs' learning curve. Oh, and bench Headley and start Pirela at third, and bench Beltran once Ellsbury returns.

Drew looks finished. Release him and end this thing. Call up Refsnyder and let him play.

Release Beltran and let Heathcott play RF.

Per Joel Sherman, Lindgren will be coming up tomorrow.

Still, I'm done discussing this team until a real effort is made to integrate younger players with higher upside. Right now, the front office appears to have it's head in the sand, to the point where it's honestly no fun anymore to follow the team. Their way of thinking is tired and outdated.

Well, if Slade plays regularly I will deal. They aren't this bad, just as they wrentit that good while winning.
