I'm tentatively excited for the moment about this year's Yankee's!! They're showing something that I havn't seen in awhile ..... An ability to hit with runners on base. They are not solely home run reliant.
A name (Yankees) seems to go a long way. Of their nineteen games to date, approximately fifteen have been televised into my living room.
The relief pitching looks to be pretty much lockdown. The starters have been a little shaky but have mixed in a few dominating performances. Girardi always worries me with how he uses the bullpen. But he and his coaches know more about pitching than I do. I just worry that he goes to the bullpen too soon in games and ends up using the entire pen too often.
There's only a couple of guys that will steal a base (Gardner and Ellsbury) but if they continue to hit in clutch situations maybe the lack of speed won't be a huge issue.
The roster is loaded with 30-somethings. Hopefully injuries won't be like an epidemic. So far, so good.
