aren’t you assuming that the Yankees & Girardi will use those arms properly though?

In fairness, the pen was one of the better ones in the league last year.

might be the pen is just burnt out from CMW & companies short outings?

Bingo!!!

The bullpen will come around, there are plenty of arms between SWB and the ML club that can be effective.

the bullpen looks like it could be a season long issue

…I forgot to add that Melky should be in CF right now..Gardner is not hitting and Melky is…also I don’t like Girardi as manager…so I guess he worries me too…so you can add Girardi and the bullpen to my list of worries.

The point, was that it took contributions from all players, no matter how they were acquired. But yeah, whatever…

Did you even see the play that Ellsbury stole home? Pettitte went to a full windup and the infield was shifted to where Berroa was playing near short. How you manage to find that “shameful” and “embarrasing” to the point that you want the Yanks to drill him is beyond me.

It’s a long season, no need to get bent out of shape in *April*

It’s early..this series doesn’t tell us anything except that the Yankees bullpen sucks, which we already knew…the Sox hit when they are at home..once they go on the road again they won’t hit as well…they hit about a dozen popups off that wall in left in this series.

I’m not worried about the starting pitching…or the hitting…the only worry I have is the bullpen…I think the starters will come around…but the bullpen looks like it could be a season long issue…this series is nothing to panic over though..it’s still April.

My intended quote in that last post:

As for Cash Man, his experiment from building from within was the failed Hughes/Kennedy Experiment of last yea

Bambtino was traded to the yanks, not brought up…also i’m not so convinced “AJAX” is the player everyone is thinking he’s going to be, a nice player but not the savior….

But I think that Cash Man will try to land Jason Bay for a ton of bricks next year ,too if the Yanks don’t make it to the Big Dance.

i think the sox will re-sign him, personally

======
here the Yankees went overboard is when they got BOTH, CC and AJ. That was too much in my opinion. One of those two would have had been fine(CC not Burnit) and the Yankees bid something like 60 mill more for the Brewers for CC.
======
lol. “burnit” and CC were overboard? You can say that even after Wang’s early collapse? if u signed 1 of them, that would mean hughes is in the rotation already, and u would call up whom to replace wang? Kennedy?
====
And I criticized them during the winter for jumping the gun BECAUSE their great weakness was clutch hitting NOT pitching
======
so what do YOU do then? you had a rotation that featured Sydney Ponson at the end…you re-sign him? What clutch hitters would you have gotten instead?
