CC Sabathia
A.J. Burnett
Nick Swisher
Mark Teixeira
Kevin Cash
Key Losses:
Mike Mussina
Carl Pavano
Bobby Abreu
Jason Giambi
Ivan Rodriguez
Line-up:
1. Johnny Damon LF
2. Derek Jeter SS
3. Mark Teixeira 1B
4. Hideki Matsui DH
5. Jorge Posada C
6. Xavier Nady RF
7. Robinson Cano 2B
8. Cody Ransom 3B
9. Melky Cabrera CF
Obviously this line up will change once Gay Rod comes back.(Fuck, I told myself I would be mature about this) Anyways, everyone will overrate this line-up but other than Teixeira and A-Rod, is there anyone else you are scared of? Damon, Jeter, Matsui, Posada are all on the downturn of their careers and sure they are all stars and can hurt you, I'm not taking them that seriously. Cano is the guy I am most intrigued about. If he can have a productive year this will strengthen up the Yankees line up a ton, unfortunately, he is just a contract player.
Rotation:
1. CC Sabathia LH
2. A.J. Burnett RH
3. Chien-Ming Wang RH
4. Andy Pettitte LH
5. Joba ChamberlainRH
Closer Mariano Rivera RH
This is a pretty good rotation on paper and for the Yankees sake, I hope it translates to the field but I have got a strange feeling they are in for a couple long contracts. The two guys I am talking about is CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett. Burnett is nothing special, he can be an elite player when he actually gives a fuck, but he has proven time and time again that he will have down years after he signs a big contract. For CC, this guy could easily win 23 games for this team with that line up behind him, but I think he is a great small market pitcher. He thrived in Cleveland until the play-offs and thrived in Milwaukee until the playoffs. He has a chance to be great in NY, but I would like to see how he reacts when the media starts picking him apart. Wang and Pettite are solid, but I still question the Joba to the rotation move. I feel he would be best set as a set up man. Rivera is eventually going to want to retire, and Joba would be a great closer. Moving him to the rotation is only going to kill his arm.
Prospects:
Jesus Montero, C, 11/28/1989 - Montero, signed out of Venezuela in 2006, is an imposing figure. The soon-to-be 19-year-old clocks in at 6'4"/225lbs, but it's that size that have many believing that his future is somewhere other than behind the plate, possibly at first base or designated hitter. He might become too big to catch, if he hasn't already.
Zach McAllister, RHP, 12/8/1987 - The Chillicothe, IL native was selected in the third round of the 2006 draft and has gradually picked up steam as time has gone on.BR
Overall
The Yankees are totally gay and would much rather blow each other than play baseball. They are all pumped because they have fresh meat to fuck in Sabathia, Burnett and Teixeira. They will only win on the amount of semen they can get from those three throughout the year.
89-73 miss playoffs due to gayness.
Sorry to everyone who wasn't expecting this.
