I'd rather write off this year to see the potential of the young pitchers they have.
As for the Giambi deal, I don't know whether I like it or not. I've always liked Figgins, but I have no idea where they would play him and he's been in an awful slump this year. |
That's a fair point, if you are willing to throw the season away, but I know Yankee management is not at that point yet. My point is you can never have enough pitching and even though they seem to have plenty of good young arms, I don't think a majority of Yankee fans would agree that clippard, Desalvo, Hughes, and Karstens can bring you guys a ring THIS year.
