Disk98 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Well, we have an interesting year ahead of us, don't we? Here's our projected lineup: 1. Jacoby Ellsbury - CF - L2. Brett Gardner - LF - L3. Carlos Beltran - RF - S4. Brian McCann - C - L5. Mark Teixeira - 1B - S6. Chase Headley - 3B - S7. Stephen Drew - 2B - L8. Alex Rodriguez - DH - R9. Didi Gregorius - SS - L Our bench: Garrett Jones - 1B - LBrendan Ryan - INF - RChris Young - OF - RJohn Ryan Murphy - C - R The rotation: 1. Masahiro Tanaka - RHP2. CC Sabathia - LHP3. Michael Pineda - RHP4. Chris Capuano - LHP5. Nathan Eovaldi - RHP RHP Ivan Nova is expected to return from Tommy John surgery sometime this season. The bullpen: Adam Warren - RHPDavid Huff - LHPDavid Carpenter - RHPJustin Wilson - LHPBryan Mitchell - RHPAndrew Miller - LHPDellin Betances - RHP Honestly, I can't make any predictions because there are so many question marks on this team. The biggest? Will Masahiro Tanaka stay healthy through the year? Can CC Sabathia somehow learn to pitch without a mid-90s fastball, and will be remain healthy? Can Carlos Beltran and Mark Teixeira bounce back from a disappointing, injury-inhibited 2014? Most importantly, can this darn team just start hitting?!

LedRush Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The ship be sinking. What's Vegas have for the over/under on wins? I think .500 would be a good season, which, for the Yankees, would also be a horrible season. Ellsbury, Gardner and Bettances are the only guys without huge question marks. You can see the pressure to win every year has really hurt this team, which should have been blown up a couple of years ago. Instead, they added big cost, low production guys time and time again. It's time to learn from the Red Sox and tear the team down and try and build it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'd say the over/under is 85. I'd say under, maybe 83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Cashman is trying to make the younger. No more 10 year contracts to veteran free agents. The gamble is on Gregorious and Eovaldi entering their prime fulfilling and exceeding their potential. The rotation is young. Sabathia needs to pitching innings, a lot of 'em. And Capuano is filling Nova's spot until Nova's return. The funny part is, I think Teixeira is the worst hitter they have and what do they expect him to bounce back from? The 2009 season? McCann needs to step up offensively. Beltran is done, IMHO. You gotta play the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 A-Rod actually looks really good so far. I know it's the first week of spring training, but still. He looks good. Who'd'a thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 That is one horrible line up with no pitching. I will stay away from drafting any Yankee on my Fantasy Baseball Draft Night. An anagram for Tanaka is "TANK." The ship is sinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 An anagram for Tanaka is "TANK."That makes me feel a bit better about him, I guess. Everyone's saying he's fine. He'd better be a tank…that 7-year, $155M contract isn't going toward a DL spot. At least, I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Pinieda looked good, the bullpen was strong, and the timely hitting was just enough. Though hitting looks like it's going to be a problem again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
