I don't know about my fellow Yankee fans, but I do question the moves the Yankee organization has made and not made.
Getting Curtis Granderson was a great aquistion, but I question the move to give up Austin Jackson, Yankees top hitting prospect, to get Granderson. Sure, Granderson is a good player, but as I recall, the Yankee organization said they were going to rely on their top prospects a lot more and be part of the team not be part of a trade.
Getting Javier Vasquez for Melky Cabrera. I think Vasquez is a good pitcher, but a good pitcher for the National League with the expection when he was in a White Sox uniform. Melky Cabrera gone is a killer. You basically kill the youthness of the Yankees. Melky Cabrera came up with a lot of clutch hits. I thought the Yankees would improve on outfield defense since it was weak point in 2009 season. The corner outfield has really no arm except Cabrera. With Granderson, the defense was better. Granderson at center field, Swisher at right field, and Cabrera in left field. With Cabrera gone, the outfield is weak again.
Signing Nick Johnson to play DH. Why not re-sign Hideki Matsui to do that? That is all I got to say.
Ching Ming Wang deserves another chance. A Former two time 19 game winner is still a good pitcher. They need to help him regain his confidence and his mechanics. An major injury that affects the way he pitches will do that to any pitcher. You can't expect any pitcher to just regain his form magically. You need patience and guidence.
The Yankees still need a decent left fielder who can hit and has a decent arm. They need 8th inning pitcher to get to Mariano Rivera. I say David Robertson. Maybe?
Overall, Starting Pitcher has become a STRONG suit for the Yankees. Outfield Defense, weak like last year. Yankees top prospects, who knows now. Speed, possibly gone down with Nick Johnson. Hitting, gone down maybe with Granderson??
I give the Yankees current offseason moves a "C" because they got good players, but gave up a lot to the fans eyes including me. It looks like they downgraded just a little.
Feel free to give your opinion. This is how I feel.
