The team needs a MAJOR youth movement.

...yes, because the youngsters are immune from injury...it's not just the Yanx, look around the league...players get hurt, young and old.

who is more likely to get hurt playing (pick a sport): you or your teenage children (if you have any)? yes, players of all ages get hurt, but the older they are the higher the likelihood they get hurt and/or go through cold streaks. The Yanks have a lot of aging players through their lineup. Surely you realize this.

...I keep hearing this so I'll ask again, based on what?...is this just your personal belief/opinion or is there some sort of data?...for each time you name me an older player having a bad streak and/or getting hurt, I'll name you a younger one that is too...I'll wait.

Any update on this? Last I saw was that the results were unavailable or something like that

Actually the injury demographic is pretty flat across age, race, country of birth. If anything, pitchers and outfielders tend to be injured more because their are more of them.

But I guess if we want to believe is bogus stats and go with our feelings, there is movement called man-made climate change you can get involved with.

 

[yankeesince59]

...thank you.

 

[totus44]

...thank you.

Massage an outfielder....do it for the polar bears.

I think the point that was trying to be made was that if you put a 40 year old & a 20 year old in a foot race that not only would the 20 year be healthier enough to win 95% of the time but he'd also be less likely to pull a hammy of cramp up. JMO

 

[totus44]

Do I get to cherry pick the 40 and 20 year olds?

...^^^Cervelli and his hammy say hello.

 

[Messiah717]

The bottom line is that the Yankees need to get younger. They're old and there's no way around that. Over the course of 162 games in what you have to believe is a post PED era the younger teams will usually be much better off.

Beltran 37
Soriano 38
Jeter 39
Ichiro 40
Roberts 36
Tex 34

His PED use says hello also.

 

[yankeesince59]

His PED use says hello also.

...yes, that explains why he pulled his hammy this year and not last year...keep reaching.

 

[totus44]

You get younger in 2015, assuming ARod isn't back.

...No, what they need to do is play up to their ability...and withe exception of Beltran and Soriano, they pretty much are.

 

[totus44]

Ah, he took HGH to speed his recovery FROM injury. No link between HGH use and injuries. You're confusing PEDs with anabolic steroids again. Do I need to hold chemistry class again?

 

[Messiah717]

You have no idea at what he used, for how long and what it did to his body.

...I'd like to know where all this concern and emphasis was when the team was winning?...or at the beginning of the season?

 

[yankeesince59]

You have no idea at what he used, for how long and what it did to his body.

...and obviously neither do you...keep reaching.

Play to what ability? What are you expecting from players at this age? Folks including some GMs need to stop judging players based on the PED era. Go back to the 80s when this is clearly the age when guys would fall off a cliff production wise. It's called your career coming to an end.

...I wasn't the one who lamely brought up PEDS...that would be messiah...maybe he could attend your class.

 

[Messiah717]

What we know is that he was suspended for the use of PEDs.

...uhhh, like I said, with the exception of Beltran and Soriano who are not producing right now, the others are.

...what the hell does that have to do with him pulling his hammy this year?

Right and HGH according to studies has also been known to promote resistance to injuries. So therefore it would be logical to suggest that a rash of injuries could be attributed to the fact that these guys aren't talking the damn drugs anymore.

...LMAO...yeah, that's gotta be the reason.

...but according to your earlier logic, because Cervelli is younger he should be much less prone to injury...right?

 

[totus44]

Wow....poof, my head just exploded. Lol!

I'm just going to agree to disagree because that logic proves to me you just want to rationalize these feelings independent of facts..

Why couldn't it be the reason when you see rashes of injuries in the post PED era or what you have to believe is at least a much reduced PED era? Guys were just taking HGH to recover from injuries or to also be more resistant?
