Only a true fan would watch his team on the last weekend of the season after they were out of the race...and wait out a long rain delay to see the Yanks beat Boston at Fenway to deny the Sox from the division championship.
But after watching the team on a gloomy Friday night and in the last week as the
team won 8 out of 9 I see some bright spots for next year.
team won 8 out of 9 I see some bright spots for next year.
The bullpen has been good all year. And I like what I see from Phil Coke, the 26 year old rookie could give the Bombers two good lefty's in the 'pen with Marte next season. Talking about pitchers... not too sure who out of the starters is coming back. I like the make up of Alfredo Aceves who the team got out of the Mexican League has been good in his few starts.
In 2009 there will be a lot of spots to win in training camp. Cody Ranson (above) who can play every postion and has power two homers against the Sox don't hurt and could be in line for the utility role. I sure Brett Gardner won't be the starting center fielder but with his wheels he could get a role on the club. 2009 will be one of the most interesting off seasons for the Yankees in years. After Sunday it begins.
