NY Yankees

Sabathia

Burnett

Texiera





SFO

No reason to watch baseball now for the next 8 years

They may not even make the playoffs again. CC struggled in the A.L. last year (nevermind his struggled versus the Red Sox while with Cleveland) and A.J. Burnett, while having great stuff and a good track record, is a China Doll that you have to be weary on counting for 20+ starts for the second season in a row.

Texieira is a very good 1B but it still won't help them in their biggest disadvantage to the Sox and Tampa: middle relief. Unless they are smart enough to send Joba back to the bullpen.

I will say if they do get Manny, though.........that might change things. But A-Rod is still on the team, and that if anything gives me total confidence that the Yankees still won't get out of first round as long as he is a Yankee.

C.C. struggled for the first few starts, then he was lights out in the AL, look it up if you don't believe me......Tex is a stud and will make A-ROD even better, A-Rod will get better pitches to hit now w/Tex hitting in front of him I assume.....Burnett is hit/miss but Wang will be back too........Joba is supposed to be in the pen

I hate the Yanks but theres almost no way they don't win it all next year

i thought slim was from georgia?

yankees will have a great all star team

will they have a great team?

i hope they buy up manny put him in the 5 hole, complete rubbing it in the red sox nosesaments

They still have the 3rd best staff in the division and 3rd best d. Definitly improved but they are no lock. I hope their plane crashes as well

what's their starting 5 and pen. Wont compare to the sox and rays. Sox pen is a bit shaky but all things considered I think Bostons staff is better. I believe NY closed the gap a bit in pitching but not completely. Can they get by with what they got? Absolutely. But if their young guys don't step up they will get pounded when it counts

SABATHIA, BURNETT, WANG, JOBA, POSSIBLY PETTITE, IF NOT PETTITE THEN PROBABLY SHEETS.

3RD BEST LOL

I DONT EVEN LIKE THE YANKEES BUT YOU MUST BE HIGH

WOW AND PEN NOW?

YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU THEIR BULLPEN?

GOOGLE FTW

SCHILLING AND TIMLIN WILL HAVE MONSTER YEARS IMO

LOL @ QUIZZING ME ABOUT A TEAM I DONT EVEN LIKE WHILE SIMELTANEOUSLY IGNORING MY IM'S

:HOMER

Is joba even starting? i think they are planning on bringing him out of the pen. Pettite and Sheets are fragile as well is burnett. If they get 30 starts from each of those guys above id be shocked. Even if 3 or 4 of em got 30 starts i would be shocked. But they still need to get pettite back ( who is in contract talks with the rangers) and I have no clue about sheets. Would you rather Burnett, Sabathia and Wang or Lester, Daisuke and Beckett. Close but I'll take Bostons guys mainly cause of stability. Then throw in phoenom masterson out there and wake is the shit 5th starter but the guy eats innings. Tampa Bay is going to be real good again as well especially with price starting now. yankees could be good but we will see come July just how good they are gonna be but then again they may not need to be good with that lineup. Fucking scary

yes, joba is starting. you dont put your horse in the starting role and put him back in the setup role the next season. but he has already been declared a starter in the offseason.

boston fans shouldnt be talking about fragile pitching, beckett is getting more chunky and less healthy every passing minute. i can only think of 2 other starters and 1 reliever who are worth a shit for the sox. im pretty sure you have to be a massive homer to say that the yankees are the 3rd best staff in the al east. take that argument anywhere in the world other than a boston fan forum. you will be laughed at. i guarantee it. the yankees have probably bought the greatest team ever assembled, pitching included. AND THEYRE NOT DONE YET


just waiting for them to buy manny for a 2 year deal then throw him away, just for fun.

While the starting staffs are now sorta similar, Yanks have so much more fire power on offense than either the sox or rays and its not even close

You guys forgot Phil Hughes, he may be the 5th starter lol depending on who the yanks reel in from now until spring training

Well I guess every analyst on Baseball tonight is a boston Homer then

if someone on tv said the yankees have the third best pitching in their division, please link everyone in the world to that video so we can laugh in unison at said tv show.

Not only 3rd best pitching but 3rd best defense too . I mean you can make an argument on the yankees pitching I guess but the defense isnt even close. It was Buster Olny( very good anylast) who had them rated like that and Steve Phillips whose opinions I do not respect. Gammkons as well. Gammons is a boston Guy but is very objective. We will have to wait and see how it plays out

lol if buster olney had the yankees pitching ranked 3rd in the al east



BUSTER OLNEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


YOU GET NO BOLONEYYYYYY
