Has someone shown poor
Joe Girardi the 2017 Yankees roster?
Apparently not, since this is what the skipper of
The Evil Ones told the
New York Daily News,
"I think we’re a club that is fighting for our division. That’s who I think we are." While
The Bronx Embalmers did make some decent moves—
Aroldis Chapman and (36-year-old)
Matt Holiday—their overall club pales in comparison to the Red Sox and Blue Jays.
The Pinstriped Posers finished
nine games behind Boston last year—and the Red Sox added
Chris Sale. As for the balance of the Yankees squad—beyond
Masahiro Tanaka and
Gary Sanchez—they are AAA quality. As we have said here before, Girardi is a
great manager—consistently getting the most out of mediocre teams—but
this claim is just silly.
