No moves before the trading deadline was the smart move for Boy Hank and the CashMan. With Eric Chavez back, ARod's return not far away, and Nunez on the bench, the Yankee infield is just dandy. The outfield is flush. Gardener is playing great, Granderson is on a mission, and Swisher is hitting. As long as Andruw Jones doesn't fall down on his occasional starts, life is good.
Neither catcher can hit .230, Martin is adequate defensively, and Cervelli's play is a constant reminder that Halloween is just three short months away, but who was available?
But pitching, don't they need pitching? Much to the chagrin of every media talking head and gin-addled sports writer, the Yankee staff, by any measure, is among the best in the league. Sabathia is a workhorse, Colon and Garcia continue to pitch well, and who else has 6 guys competing to fill a five man rotation?
The smart move? Get A.J. Burnet a script for valium, move Hughes or Nova into middle relief, and win the division.
Or better yet, A.J. and I could save some money if he's willing to split a session with a local shrink.
