Tigers rout Yankees to reach ALCS
(MLB.com)
-
It was proof of the old baseball adage of good pitching beating good hitting. The finale, however, showed Detroit with better everything.Where do the Yankees go from here? If I were running the team the first thing I'd do is is try to move these guys: Giambi, Sheffield, Johnson, and yes, A-Rod. Other than the Big Unit, none of these guys have ever come through for any team in the post-season. Sorry, but A-Rod is the symbol of all that's wrong with the team: overpriced and underperforming when it matters most. Thanks Mr. April, while you can make it anywhere, maybe you just can't make it in New York. After I trimmed the fat, I'd really start investing in youth and realize it may take a few years to get back to the top, but with young players like Cano and Cabrera, it's clear that there is some talent waiting in the wings. Look at the Tigers, three years ago, they lost 119 games, and now, they're a young team, just four wins away from the AL pennant. The Yankees won't fall that far, if they started a focused rebuilding program, but this bloated, old, expensive team needs to be broken up, because there's nowhere left for it to go but down, down, down. I'd like to see them go young, while keeping the key players from the teams that last won a Series: guys like Jeter, Rivera, Posada. Keep Matsui, Damon, Abreu, Mussina. Punt the rest for kids. A little youth would inject some life into this team, because they're way too, well, professional, and spiritless.
