First gut reaction is Egaadzooks, holy cow...not good...!

Yet, I'm praying to the Bambino's ghost, glory will return in the Bronx, by the Trade Deadline....I got a feeling Cashmans job could be on the line if the Yanx don't take at least a Wild Card.

Not the greatest GM, yet Cash, has made some decent trades, acquisitions in years past....as much he's also been outdone by other GM's....let's hope for the prior. If the latter happens, lets dump Cashman in the Hudson...."let him eat with the fishes".

He will be hanging from a line if they are not successful.

He will be hanging from a line if they are not successful.

He better be or else I'm going to start thinking the the Steiner boys are getting some fringe benefits from Cashman.

 

[Rick2583]

The stat that really stands out are the TEAM totals in the OP. After spending over $400M on free agents you not only expect to be better then the year before but you should be a lot better. Instead this team has basically produced the same.

 

[cagedlion]

There is nothing in this lineup that shows they will improve.
I say below .500 the rest of the way.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^ care to make a wager ?

 

[Rick2583]

I've been okay with the 1st halves of Gardner, Jeter & Ellsbury but I really don't want to see anyone else duplicate there 1st half.
