CONFESSIONS OF A WEST COAST YANKEE FAN – (2012) VOLUME XII
10 Game Streak Ends… And Now The Work Begins
Teixeira’s on Fire; Let me start by saying, Mark Teixeira’s on Fire… In My Opinion, he’s the Best Hitter on the Team at the Moment… Not in General, just right now… In General would be Cano, Lol
The Yank’s Are The Real Thing; Next I have to say, The Yank’s are the “Real Thing” right now… I really feel that at this Exact Moment, They are The Best Team in Baseball… And I’m not just saying that cuz I’m a Yank’s Fan.
Let me tell you why…
Pitching; First of all, they have Really Good Pitching Right now… Not only has Andy Pettitte come back, and is Playing as Good as Ever… But his Presence, and Leadership has definitely rubbed off on the Rest of the Pitching Staff…
Especially Phil Hughes…
Now I know he got beat up yesterday, with 4 Home Runs against him… But Several of his Games leading up to Yesterday, were Just Stellar.
Beyond that, they have a Great Bullpen (Backup Pitchers), which Finish Up Games Strongly…
And now that David Roberson is back, it looks to get even better…
But Soriano has done a Great Job at Closing since Mariano went down.
Hitting; In addition to Great Pitching, the Yankee’s Lineup has started to Hit Better… Namely Teixeira, Cano and Granderson…
All-Star Break; And as the 2012 MLB All-Star Break is about to Arrive, and all of the MLB gets a Well Deserved Rest, it’s shaping to be a Real Exciting/Great Second Half of The Season.
Nuff Said, Thanks For Reading/Listening

Cano .299 – Moven Up
Nunez .294 – Sent down to the Minors to work on his 3B Playing, which was terrible, Lol
Arod .265 – Gone down a bit, but he’s doing just fine (His Grand Slams Help, Lol)
Swisher .264 – Down a bit since he’s come back, but he’s starting to light it up again
Stewart .263 – Continues to be a decent Hitter, and a Good Backup Catcher
Chavez .260 – His Batting Average has dropped a bit, but he is an Amazing Backup 3B for Arod, and a Solid Veteran Player… Great Addition to the Team
Teixeira – .256 Last Time I did one of these Posts, He was at .212… Nuff Said, He is Hot right now
Granderson .252 – He’s gone down a bit, but His Home Runs haven’t, Major Impact Player
Ibanez .235 – Gone down a bit, but a Great Veteran Player… Huge pick up, especially since Gardners Been Out, so he’s Played a lot more than planned
Nix – .222 – Decent Backup Player
Jones .206 – He’s gone down, but he’s a Great Player, he’s just been playing less
Martin .205- Last time I did a Post, he was at .188, so he’s improved some… He’s starting to hit more, and his Ability Behind the Plate is Indispensable
Wise .138 – I actually really like Wise, he just doesn’t Play all that much… But when he does, he’s a Great Fielder, Pinch Runner/Stealer, and a Solid Hitter
