How To Make The Yankees Losing Streak Disappear

Fun fact: The guy who made that phrase famous never made it further west than Detroit. His bones lie today in Brooklyn, just a dink, a doink and an Aaron Judge dinger from where Ebbets Field once stood.

There’s no doubt this Western road trip the team just wrapped up was butt ugly from pretty much every conceivable angle. I consider myself a pragmatist who enjoys being pleasantly surprised, but not shocked by regressions from the mean and, likewise, I can’t pretend to be Sunshine Superman when they regress back toward it. Least of all when much of the regression back can be directly linked to a suspect rotation and management tendencies I identified before Opening Day that are now self-evident and part of a wider public discussion.
Pineda would command a nice return. Who knows, maybe someone even wants Chris Carter to swing his menacing bat for them. We did, after all…and his June has been somewhat productive. And if Hal and Brian are already committing to a second-year sell off to set the stage for year one of their new era Bombers, they could really own it and save themselves all kinds of heartburn later in the process by eating a chunk of Ellsbury’s, Headley’s and Gardner’s remaining deals and get what they can for them while they can.

And speaking of those guys below, there’s a ton of them. They’ve had a year to evaluate all the hot prospects they scooped up during last year’s blue-light special. Time enough to tell who’s needed and who’s redundant, and a good time to dangle them while they’re still ranked. If they’re not going to be used as currency for what we need to win this year and someone’s already ahead of them and got their position locked up for the next 5-6 years, their value to us is zero. The market for them is going to crater this winter and will never be as hot for them again. Teams like the prospects they deal for to either be perceived as MLB-ready or highly ranked so they don’t look any dumber than being forced to sell-off their stars already makes them. And ranked prospects at the upper levels who don’t get to the show after two years don’t stay ranked. They get perceived as overripe and become stale, damaged goods.
