Balance in Age on the Yankees...

[Plow]

Last year, at a certain point, I told people the reason why the Yankees stink was because half their team was below the age of 25, and the other half seems to older than 33.

 

Well now take a look at some of the "main guys" and their ages.

I bolded all the guys between 26 and 33

 

Hitting:

Posada - 37

Molina - 33

Teixeira - 28

Cano - 26

Jeter - 34

Arod - 33

Damon - 35

Gardner - 25

Melky - 24

Nady - 30

Swisher - 28

Matsui - 34

 

Pitching:

Sabathia 28

Burnett 31

Wang - 28

Chamberlain - 23

Hughes - 22

Coke - 26

Aceves - 26

Marte - 33

Veras - 28

Ramirez - 27

Bruney - 26

Rivera - 39

 

So of the 24 "main guys"

4 are below 26 (Melky, Gardner, Joba, Hughes)

15 are between the ages of 26 and 33

5 are above the age of 33 (Posada, Jeter, Damon, Matsui, Rivera)

 

FINALLY WE HAVE A BALANCE IN AGE ON THE TEAM!
