LOLz at this shit. Giambi?

[Dry1313]

Giambi is geared for a huge year...contract time baby

[DirtyKash]

Uh ... so you have the Yankees winning 94 games, but all your pitchers combined have 111 wins. Yes, that makes plenty of sense.

Player predictions...wins are +/- a few...

[Dry1313]

Anyone else care to chime in?

[redsrbetter]

Yeah, I think this puts the Yankees in the World Series. Man, you love that rotation a bit huh? I do too. I love the youth and I think at least one of those young guys will pan out somewhere close to your prediction.

I am banking on a youth movement this season as the Reds are young as well.

Oh umm, I think The Moose will stink it up this season. Just a hunch. But the rest of your team is still stacked.

I think Abreu will hit over .300 and Cano more HR's than that.

How many starts do you say Joba gets?

I think if/when Moose crashes, Joba will move into the roatation...

I'd say he gets anywhere from 10-20

Yankees finish second in the division missing the playoffs.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

I think the Yankees will finish in 3rd place in the A.L. East behind Boston and Toronto and will win approximately 83 or so games.

I'm sorry, that's ridiculous. The Blue Jays will NOT finish ahead of the Yankees. Not enough offense, period. The Yankees will win more than 83 games as well.

[BronxBomberz]

More disrespect toward the Yankees..... I'm gonna love hearing every single hater whine when we take back the AL East, and even win it all!

Right. And this is based off of what?

I think the Yankees will finish in 3rd place in the A.L. East behind Boston and Toronto and will win approximately 83 or so games.

Milwaukee will finish in 4th...St. Louis, Chicago, and Cincinnati will finish ahead of them...not really, but hey, it's way more likely than Toronto finishing ahead of the Yankees.

I'm sorry, that's ridiculous. The Blue Jays will NOT finish ahead of the Yankees. Not enough offense, period. The Yankees will win more than 83 games as well.

I agree. Not even being a homer, is this serious, or is it just because people don't like the Yankees?

Don't even fight back man...I love it that the YANKEES are the underdog now

[browntown653]

I don't understand...hiring Joe Girardi, bringing almost everyone back, and going from a rotation that had Clippard, Wright, DeSalvo, Karstens etc to one that should be better than last year's...and we're only winning 83 games? Did I miss something???
