Yankee Update

The Yankees have got to do something about Eduardo Nunez. The man has been a fantastic hitter this year and the man is clearly a great athlete. We have been more than happy with what he's provided offensively but enough is enough, Eduardo can't field. He has now racked up an excellent total of 13 errors for the season. That number doesn't even include the amount of plays he's botched that can't be ruled as errors. It's no longer easy to turn away from his occasional blunders and shrug it off as the every now and then mistake. It has now become routine for Nunez to butcher a play and it's hurting the Yankees more than his bat is helping.

I'm sick of people texting me and telling me Joe Girardi is fucking up the bull pen. I'm also sick of hearing how bad Boone Logan is and how Sergio Mitre should never take the field. I love the Yankees winning games and of course games vs Boston and Tampa are important, but Dave Robertson and Mariano Rivera can't play every day. They can't even play every other day. I don't want Mo logging 80+ games this season. I want Mo fresh and ready for October innings. The Yankees got screwed with Feliciano, Soriano, and Joba all getting hurt and they have to roll with some guys other than Mo and Robertson sometimes. Ideally I'd like our starter to go 7 and then go to Dave and Mo, but that doesn't happen. We need some other relievers to get some 6th 7th and at times 8th innings outs. Enter Boone Logan.

Boone Logan has never been my favorite Yankee and he did struggle his ass off to start the year, but he has merit on this team. Logan has been a different man since his special A-rod chat. He is the only lefty in the pen and it's necessary for him to continue to see crunch time minutes so he can continue to get going and be a key member of the playoff rotation. Not to mention the fact that he's actually providing lots of value right now.

Sergio Mitre is the official white flag of the Yankees. You cam't win every game and when it's 7-2 in the 8th, it's ok by me if Girardi decides to save some good arms and throws out Mitre. Agreed it's frustrating but that's what the last guy in the bull pen is for. Granted Mitre is below average even for the last man on the roster, but he is not costing the Yankees any winnable games so end of discussion.

It's because of this that I actually have like Girardi's managing and think Yankee fans should find other things to be mad about.
