Interesting piece on CC.

 

[yankeesince59]

...I still think CC and Tex are "the wild cards" this year...if CC can find a way to pitch to a 3.50 ERA or so, and if Tex can get his BA/OPS up to .275/.900 the Yanx could surprise a lot of people, including me.

 

[totus44]

Approx. 3.50 era?

 

[Rick2583]

CC closer to 4 & Tex closer to 250. And sadly BOTH would be improvements. Remember kids.....you heard it here first.

Backtracking? I've been saying I expect more than most from Tex/1b, CC, RF AND DH for most of the off season.....you may recall me saying things like "CC isn't exactly coming off reconstructive arm surgery"..... and he's healthier than he's been in years and has ALWAYS had good command of three pitches.

Same for RF and DH, by hook or crook the Yanks should get considerably more production from those spots.

And its only fair to say If Gregorius starts off well and settles in at SS, the Yanks could possibly, perhaps solve their SS issues.

 

[Rick2583]

ENOUGH ALREADY!! Is this about to become the 3rd or 4th thread with the same fucking argument?

 

[yankeesince59]

Backtracking?

...backtracking on what?..... I've been saying "CC and Tex may be the wild cards" for awhile now.

...would you like me to provide proof and embarrass you once again?

 

[Messiah717]

Yeah I have to agree with Rick on this one. Lets agree to disagree and just put this to rest. It's seemingly in every thread now and becoming too much.

 

[totus44]

Guys, CC and Tex will suck. How bad isn't worth the argument.

I think those are best case scenario situations unfortunately

I think those are best case scenario situations unfortunately

I'm expecting SOME improvement from both but not enough to make a big impact. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Messiah717]

Tex to me still hasn't figured out that it's his approach and not his health. If I was Girardi I would force him to bat right handed the entire spring.

 

[yankeesince59]

...^^^ I think we talked about this last year, didn't we?...it may have been me and someone else.

 

[Messiah717]

Unfortunately, I think we will see the same pop ups to the left side all season long.

 

[Rick2583]

Tex to me still hasn't figured out that it's his approach and not his health. If I was Girardi I would force him to bat right handed the entire spring.

Actually this is not a bad idea.

It was you. Couldn't find it though. Somewhere between the concern with Tex wrist and Jeters ankle....and a board pissing match with Denny.

 

[totus44]

From Sat....Girardi to Cashman "OK, so I've got big ears....I'm not the guy dressed to look like a penis."

 

[yankeesince59]

...well at least it appears that cash is circumsized.

Me too
