***THE NOT-SO-COMEDIC STYLINGS OF VOD KANOCKERS***
It's going to be a long year. That's a safe prediction when facing another 152 games. But this could get ugly. But if, as they say, pitching and defensive win championships, the NY Steinbrenners have miles to go before contending.
This team has, without question, the worst outfield in their division: Swisher (utility OF, 1st baseman, and now, set-up man), Damon (no arm and recently, a flare-up of Areuitis wall fear), Gardner (no arm), and Melky (no bat). And Matsui adds nothing to the defense if he is ever able or allowed to play in the field again.
A-Roid, or SpongeBob Square Pants, will provide a huge offensive lift over Cody Ransom. Still, the pumped up one is, at best, an average fielding 3rd baseman albeit with a huge gun. Jeter, we know, is past his prime defensively and Cano continues to be a mystery at 2nd, alternating between the ridiculous and the sublime. Teixeira should be solid at first. Hurray!
Posada looks fine now. August is still over 3 months away.
Long story short, this team's starting pitching, defense, and relief remind me of a Clint Eastwood movie. You know, "The Good, the bad, and the Ugly".
