I can only hope that "buzz" translates into "overnight leaps in ratings." Swervin has the youngsters believing they can play with anybody, but the reality is the Yankees are, best case scenario, a year or two from being a serious threat to anyone (unless we can pull a +12 pythagoran out of our hat).
Its been tough to sit back and turn down offers, hoping that the kids keep progressing (like Erickson). Maybe this year the fans in the Bronx will get to see some fruits of their suffering through the last 5+ years.
My prediction: 81 wins, 4-5th in the division.
