    Papelbon remains excellent-- having a better season that Koji. I'm not looking for an argument about the worth of his contract, but the facts and stats are the facts and stats. Papelbon does the job every year with a couple of minor clunkers. That year in and year out consistency is a huge plus for a team. The Yankees road Mo;s consistency for almost 20 years of playoff baseball. Without him, playoff appearances will be somewhat sporadic. We got very lucky to have Uehara during his one dream season.

    And it just goes to prove how difficult it is to be an excellent closer year after year. Koji has turned into a pumpkin.

    Uehara coughs up a lead off Home Run for the tie. Jeesh.

    Another 90+ loss season and last place finish in 2015 would turn those leashes into nooses for Ben and Farrell.
  5. a700hitter
    If Ben loads him up with talent in 2015 and they go sub .500 again, he is a goner.

    The Yankees hitting, pitching and run differential is not appreciably better than that of the Red Sox, but they are 12 games better. The difference is in large part the manager. The one run games that are decided late should be a crap shoot that favors us, because we have a very solid end of the game bullpen -- better than most of our opponents. The one run games should have tilted in our favor for that reason. That advantage has been neutralized because lantern jawed Farrell's team is not fundamentally sound and he doesn't have a clue as to tactics to manufacture runs.

    We have a huge hole at 3B. He can fill that.
  8. a700hitter
    I agree. The guy is a winner. He was key to the 2013 success and his absence was a big reason for the 2014 flop. I want him back.
  9. a700hitter
    Good point.
  10. a700hitter
    The theorem is basically useless: He loses too many one run games for a manager with a solid end of the game bullpen. His team is not fundamentally sound and it has no proficiency at manufacturing a run in tight game. That is on the manager. Bill James needs to stick to strat-o-matic. That was his sweet spot.

    Who will want him for $13 million? Are you proposing that they eat most of his salary --- around say $10 million?
  12. a700hitter
    We don't do so great with our first round picks.
  13. a700hitter
    If you sit Koji down, his agent might have a grievance. He is a free agent after the season so he will want to accumulate stats. If we want to sit him, we will have to sign him now.
  14. a700hitter
    Victorino is slated to make $13 million in 2015. He will be in the OF if healthy. Odd man out will be Nava. Betts will be moved to 3rd is my guess. I don't know what happens to Craig.
  15. a700hitter
    He's clumsy in the field and he will give you a heart attack on a line drive, but he has a great arm and he pulverizes a baseball with the bat.
  16. a700hitter
    He's a late season hitter -- getting hot on September 2nd.
  17. a700hitter
    XB really got to that Jeter ball very slowly.
  18. a700hitter
    f*** you Gardner! Take seat, Douche.
  19. a700hitter
    Farrell continues to sit on the bench with his thumb up his ass waiting for the 7 run rule.
  20. a700hitter
    f***ing Bogaerts! Charge the f***ing ball!
  21. a700hitter
    I am enjoying the Jeter suck-fest in his final season. I am also glad that he is such a prima dona that he insists on playing SS every night even though there are 2 Shortstops better than him on the team, and that Girardi doesn't have the buts to sit him down.
  22. a700hitter
    Where has this offense been all season?
  23. a700hitter
    The ball jumps off Mookie's bat. Bradley can't get his bat on the ball.
  24. a700hitter
    Maybe the Sox can keep it close so Farrell can blow it in the late innings once again.
  25. a700hitter
    We are seeing more and more of these articles recently. The end is rarely pretty
