    Yankees Fact or Fiction

    Well I couldn't find my old one so I'll start a new one....

    Fact or Fiction:Robinson Cano will have a season like he had last season?
    Fact or Fiction:Derek Jeter will win the AL MVP this year?
    Fact or Fiction:Losing Sheffield was a big loss?

    Fact. Better.
    Fiction. Not going to happen. Solid season, no MVP.
    Fiction. He's easily replacable and wasn't a huge impact last year.

    Fact or Fiction: Yankees bullpen will suffer from overwork yet again.

    Fact on Cano. Not as much pressure on him, so he can relax.

    Fiction on Jeter. Even though I feel he is a top tier player in the MLB, his stats are just not alarming. Unfortunately for Jeter, intangibles of the game do not count towards the MVP.

    Fiction on Sheffield. You get rid of a headache and the Yankees did just fine without him last year. I think that is the biggest reason they traded for him.

    I forgot to ask, who is slated to be your RFer this year? Cabera or Matsui?

    Well, it's going to be Abreu dude.

    Matsui, LF; Damon, CF; Abreu, RF.

    Although I've heard that Melky will play a lot of CF and Damon will moonlight at 1B and DH those days...

    FACT on Cano. I think he has broken out for good.

    Fiction on Jeter. he dosn't have the type of #s voters look for. Voters want HRs, he should have won it last year and didn't- he will likely never win one.

    Fiction- we thrived last year w/o him then struggled when he came back. Abreu will have a good year and I like the looks of the everyday lineup better than I have in many years. On paper we don't have as much firepower but we have more balance, we don't need HRs.

    Welcome back BF, I see you've been away for a while too.

    Fact or Fiction: Abreu hits 25+ HRs this year.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    That would be fiction. Twins should win in the mid 90's again.

    Fact Boston will win the division! Helton in Boston will put them over the top.

    Good luck doing that without Liriano you putz.

    Fact on Cano.
    Fiction on Jeter. If he didn't win it last year he won't win it this year.
    Fiction on Sheffield. He was injured too much and our OF and DH positions are fine this year. I would rather have Melky playing for him anyway.

    OK now, this is a Yankees fact or fiction thread, not a flaunting the Twins and bashing the Yankees thread. If you want to do that go to your own forum or the smak forum.

    And besides I could just point out that you signed Ramon Ortiz to a nearly $4 million contract.
