How about - no more Ryan, Whitley, Kelly, Capuano, get a RF somewhere who has some pop, find a lefty reliever with a sharp breaking ball for the bullpen, use Phelps as trade bait, promote some farmhand with a good arm for Kelly's spot and.... .....put Tex in the 6th or 7th hole of the lineup AND LEAVE HIM THERE until he turns it around over a prolonged period? Would that help?
The worst part of this year is that the other teams in the playoff race suck. They cannot win a game and the Yankees would've gained a game today.. All the Yankees had to do was score some runs in a handful of these games. Of course today we get piece of shit .216 excuse making Tex taking himself out of the game. He's the poster boy for this lineup sucking.
________________________________________ So true on Tex and of course the lack of scoring- Just take this past road trip for example, they scored 9 runs in 7 games. A couple of more runs in a couple/few of those games and the Yankees would be VERY MUCH alive and close to the last WC spot coming into this final homestand and final three at Fenway. The 9 runs the Yankees scored in those last 7 road games are the lowest amount of runs the team has scored on ANY road trip of 5 or more games in their HISTORY!
