and they'll remain so throughout the next few years. it's due to giving up on young players and trading them for 30 something big names and guys with big names and huge contracts. lack of patience and a shallow strategy. our stars are second tier (other than cano) and cost more than other teams first rate stars

You are the biggest "Negative Nelly" I have seen on the boards. I would think you are more suited for being a Metroploitan fan than a Yankee fan.

You probably are. You need to eat a better balanced diet and stay off the meth.

Right now, some of those 30 somethings (Chavez, particularly) and even 40 somethings (Ibanez) are carrying the team.  Those are the guys performing above expectations and carrying more than their share.  If some of your beloved "20-somethings" would play to their potential or stop getting injured (or start developing) maybe we'd be in better shape.  It's the younger guys (Nova, Banuelos, Betances, Pineda, Romine, Gardner, etc.) who have either been big disappointments or who have contributed absolutely NOTHING to the cause this year due to either injury or lack of development.

Perfect, Grudz, absolutely perfect. There is no need to discuss this any further, game, set, match!

Are you blaming the organization? Because you shouldn't. BLAME the FANS.  Blame all the George Steinbrenner "wannabees" who demand these type of players to don Yankee Pinstripes.  

My gosh, people should be on their knees and kissing Hal's and Cashman's feet because they've have always been giving the fans what they want even against their better judgment.
