This Week on the Blog

Alright, the Yanks are starting to play a bit better, the Giants disgraced themselves, the Rangers have started camp, and the Knicks must be getting close to starting their camp.  Let's take a look.

Yankees: Scranton lost last night, so now all of the Yankee minor leaguers are done.  The Yanks have re-called Holder and Miguel Andujar. Miguel's doesn't walk, but must have a hip BABIP, and has been raking since he went back down last time.  He has the kind of bat that can elevate the offense.  Let's hope he gets to play some. All of Judge, Sanchez and Bird are showing signs of life and Sevy has become an ace.  If the Yanks can hit for Gray, keep hitting for Tanaka and get good CC, they will be a very tough out, but it's a bit of a tall order.

Giants: The Giants don't play game 2 till MNF.  To make matters worse, they are honoring the SB 42 winners at halftime, and I can't remember them ever winning a game where they've honored someone. Looks like Odell might play, and that could help, but they still need to find ways to be productive even with the bad line.  Fassel could do it.

Rangers: The Rangers have started camp - almost undercover.  And they play their first preseason game on Monday.  The big questions are around who the C's will be, will Lias Andersson make the team?  Will any of the other kids?  And who will be the defensive pairings.  We'll see if anyone else, like Sean Day pops up.

Knicks: the Knicks, almost inexplicably, signed the remains of  Jarret Jack.  They now have all together too many ones and twos and still haven't traded Melo or Courtney Lee. Some of the pundits were saying this could drat on into camp and now it looks like it's going to.

So, there it is.  Yanks and Giants on the front burner and needing wins, and the Rangers starting back.  Knicks still hard to read.

Be well!
