This Week on the Blog

Okay, last week was a disaster for everyone but the Yanks.  Giants were eliminated,  Rangers sucked, and the Knicks may or may not have won a game at some point this past week, but KP wasn't playing and his health is our chief concern.  Let's hope this is a better week.

Yankees:  The young Yanks are starting to flow back to Tampa, which is always exciting.  The big league Yanks were able to reach deals with all of their arb eligibles except Dealin' Dellin Betances.  So they'll probably head to arbitration, or work out a mid-term deal. They're talking about using him in high leverage spots, rather than just giving him the 8th.  This is, of course, what they always should have done, but let's see if they do it.

Giants: The Giants looked horrible in losing to the Pack last weekend.  It was a disgrace, and people like Rainey should never where blue again. What's more, the O was still broken, partially thanks to Odell and Sterling, who dropped some touchdowns.  Still, there is something really wrong with the O, that wasn't wrong when McAdoo was the coordinator.  I think they really have to look at that.  I like Sullivan, but maybe only as Eli's QB coach.  Eli regressed this year, and thus Cignetti should be looked at, too.

Rangers:  The Rangers' D is as bad as the Giants' O, and you can't win with either as we've seen.  This week they got Nash and Buch back, so they should start to get overwhelming again on offense, but their D and goal tending must improve.  Where is that trade they've been needing to make?

Knicks:  Melo might finally be willing to waive his no-trade clause for a move to LA and a reunion with his buddy, Chris Paul.  Melo would go off in that set-up. Right now he's stuck with a score first PG in Rose, and he's not getting the ball where he needs it. Noah has been playing better, but KP has been sitting, and that's not a good sign.   We'll see what happens.  They need more picks.

Have a great week!
