Compare these lineups.
Remember when the Royals were doormats? This won't last long, of course, because most players leave KC at the first opportunity, but what a lineup.
On the other hand, Joe Girardi gets my Manager of the Year vote if the season ended today with the Yankees still (barely) in first place in the AL East.
Ellsbury and Gardner, then two old guys who are hanging on to old glory. Both geezers have contributed this season, yes, but #3 and #4 in the lineup?
Then comes the
rest of the lineup. In OOTPB, I would be looking to chop everybody from #5 to #9. I am getting real tired of hearing about how McCann, Beltran, and Headley are finally "heating up" but . . . not.
Didi is dee worst. No, not the worst. Drew is. How in the heck can you hold a job in the major leagues and not crack .175 over two seasons?
Maybe Didi and Drew will start "heating up" soon.
