theyre in the botton 1/2 of the a/l in pitching stats,not that i put a lot of credence in these#s.
the yanks are 5-4 in 1 run games,11-12 against the al east,7-11 against the floundering al central and 3-0 against the west.
its fairly consistant anyway you word it.
what this move does in my opinion is open up trade talks for the untouchable phil hughes and the underachieving ian kennedy...it also lets these kids know that in ny you're only as good as your last start and the concept of working out the kinks and taking the lumps with the youngsters is fantasy.
i wonder how much this move was influenced by lester and lowries efforts or the sox starting pitching in general?
i will again say that the ny yankees are rudderless,theyre being run by reactionary douchebags who could fuck up a wetdream and i have 35 years of watching the steinbrenners do just that...
they need to keep the fredo brothers out of the mix and give brian cashman a chance to do what he planned on doing...they didnt get santana because they wanted to build for the future,making joba chamberlain a starter on may 22nd isnt a sound baseball decision and it goes against everything cashman has said in the press up till last weekend.
this is an order from steinbrenner after watching the sox kids shine this week and nothing will convince me otherwise.
