  1. - Clutch Hitting - Down by 1, bottom of the ninth, game on the line....where's Scotty B, where's Paul O'Neill, Tino? The Yankees have failed in key spots over the past few years and since the lineup will be virtually the same (aside from Damon) I'm afraid they have not improved in this category. Also, can we manufacture runs and not always rely on the long ball. I think with three speedy guys (Cano, Damon, Jeter) hitting 9-1-2, we can improve here.

     

    Cano a speedy guy? Are you sure you're talking about Robinson Cano?

    The last thing he was known for as a player in the Minors and in his stint in the Majors was his speed.

    Cano is not speedy. He's has at best an above average speed.

     

    132 games with 1 stolen base and 3 CS. 4 attempts.

    That stat says it all.

     

    :)

  2. The only thing certain for the Yankees is that they'll score a lot of runs. That's that.

    I love the Damon signing... his arm is weaker than Bernie, but he'll definitely cover more ground. If he leads off, than Jeter can go back to the 2nd spot where he had his best year.

    I can see Yankee fans grumbling over his arm and I can see them comparing his fielding to Bernies.

    I wanted Hideki Matsui to play CF and to sign some dude to play LF, but I don't run the Yankees...

     

    Our pitching after Mariano Rivera is a big fat (?).

  3. Do you think that physicality you speak of translates into any changes in spots or do you think that development and consitency within a system that our players are more familar with breeds that brand of football?

     

    Definitely the latter, as it has been proven by many other teams. Though if I had to pick, I would prefer a team full of smart players who will execute at a high level. Physicality in todays game can be countered with executing properly and consistanly. :huh:
