DO THE YANKEES HAVE THE PITCHING?

Every one in baseball looks to the New York Yankees when it comes to the prototype team, the one everyone wants to emulate and/or make a comparison to. The Yankee deserve that reputation and winning IS everything.

The sign of a good team is bouncing back, the sign of a great team is roaring back, and I think the Yankees will do just that.

Let’s face it; way back when Joe Girardi was managing the Marlins, he did such a great job everyone was clamoring for him to be chosen as Manager of the Year! He is still the same Joe Girardi, maybe even a little better. I don’t think his team will fold and go away.

Derek Jeter continues to play like a great player he is, maybe a little greyer, but still the same. When you look in h9is face you see the determination in performing and the disappointment when he is losing. He is a player’s player.

Robinson Cano is becoming a Derek Jeter, and that is the highest compliment you can give to a player.  He is a very good fielder when healthy and a damned good hitter, that middle of the diamond is secure.

For the rest of them, and this includes A-Rod, I can take them or leave them, some hit for power but no average, some hit and can’t field. The Yankee pitching is non-existent, and the relief never showed up. What keeps the Yankees alive is their ballpark and the fact that they will bludgeon you to death withy homeruns.

Somehow, with the leadership of Girardi and Jeter, and the skills of Cano, they will get to the playoffs one way or another.

That’s all I wrote, folks!
