This season: "Wow the Yankees are really good." One week later. "Wow the Yankees are really bad." I'm pretty convinced on the later considering Stephen fucking Drew has only the fourth lowest WAR out of regular starters on the Yankees this year. And almost every stat (OPS plus, ERA plus, and total WAR) point to us being a league average team. But at least I get to watch Beltran, Drew, Didi, CC, and a mostly terrible bullpen on a regular basis. Baseball is dumb and Brian Cashman should feel bad.
I can't say I'm not enjoying the Yankees being in total limbo for the last two years, and this year is seems too. Not having players, not having much of a farm, seemingly not able/willing to spend money, and the shitshow that is ARod (despite him doing well grumble grumble). What an odd division we are. Two weeks ago, all of us were below .500. Now, all but one is above .500 (FUCK YOU, BOSTON!) and we're looking like one the strongest divisions.
Well, they do seem to do a good job at fucking themselves. What do you do at Fenway? We had two people in our reddit GDTs that are part timers at OPACY and I've always been interested in what it's like. Those two always cite their social media policy for not saying much though.
Team's a joke and has spent money in all the wrong places (looking at you Chase Headley aka Mr. Getting Paid $50 million over 4 years to have my worst ever season going off of wRC plus and UZR). Not only that, but they've been completely inconsistent and don't seem to have an actual plan...are we done signing people to ludicrous contracts or not? As for the farm...Lindgren, Flores, and Pirella have all looked at least serviceable this year and we have a few more prospects between AA and AAA that have a lot of promise, but not too many. But hey, at least we didn't re-sign Cano, right!?
