The Yankees will need three outfielders and a bullpen if they expect to make any noise at the end of the year. They have fattened up there winning percentage against lighter opponents. Watch what the Angels do to there pitching on the road. I don’t see them making the playoffs and believe they let there fans down by failing to sign any real outfielders or bench players. The Yanks management have loads of money but no lights in the Kitchen.

As a lifelong Indians fan, I laugh at the term “mentally strong” for that idiot Betancourt. Of course he’s mentally strong when the game doesn’t matter, but he wilts at any sign of pressure. He’s a choke artist. I hope the Tribe does trade him to the Yanks. Good freakin’ riddance.

Who the frak hyphenates “bullpen?” Also, I can’t decide between asking, “How the hell did you not know Nady was done?” and just asking, “Are you stupid or something?”

And yeah, Andy Pettitte really has the AL shaking in its boots. Nothing like three baserunners every two innings to shut down another offense.

I’m not even going to touch Betancourt and his 3.71 ERA being the best thing you can think of for the Yankees’ pen. Keep your day job, champ.

Nady-created Insight Fail. Try again.

Article loses a lot of credibility considering you’re placing so much emphasis on Nady coming back when it’s old news that he’s going in for Tommy John surgery and will absolutely miss the rest of the year. Perhaps some research would have been helpful.

Xavier Nady is out for the year and a good deal of next when he will be unsigned. Tommy John Surgery.
