2009 AL East projections
I’m gonig to start talking about the moves the teams have made/ Will make
Let’s start on top.. The Tampa Bay Rays:
They moved Edwin Jackson for OF- Joyce. Noe that solidifies Price’s sot in the rotation. This move is an upgrade for the Rays both in the rotation and in the offense. I give the Rays offseason so far an A+
Red Sox:
No moves yet, BUT projected signing of Teixiera is going to help the RS.. SO far the RS offseason get a B
Yankees:
From Swisher to CC to Burnett to Pettitte.Maybe Carmona, no Tex, and keeping the young bullpen + mo together. I give the Yankees offseason so far an A+
BlueJays:
WOW.. Just WOW. A series Vs the Jays used to carry a guarunteed LOSS with the Doc and AJ. The Jays lost a lot with just losing Aj, and lost that guarunteed win per series. I haven’t heard anything on their plans so far. I give the Jays offseason so far a BIG F.
Orioles:
What have they done? I think tha they are pretty much producing the same team, which with the Jays falling, could push up the Orioles to 4th. I give their offseason so far a D
PROJESTED STANDINGS:
1.) Yankees
2.) Rays (WC)
3.) Red Sox
4.) Orioles
5.) Blue Jeay (.500+)
First day of blogging
Hey.. This is try # 2 at a Yankees blog for me. We’ll see how it works out.
My first blog wascreated well over a year ago, and it failed after A Rod’s opt out.
Well, that’s old news now..
The new news is the hot stove. I’ll be following this like I have never followed any hot stove before.
First CONGRATS to the Mets on getting a bullpen, KROD and Putz both can close for you, and it will be interesting to watch the Mets bullpen unfold.
Now to the team I’m here for. The YAnkees:
I’m excited for the CC signing, and although I’m not a huge Burnett fan, Think what he could be for us.. Our 2009 Yankees rotation is starting to take shape, and I’m liking it…
2009 rotation (Projected by Kev Sheehan)
CC Sabathia
Chein-Ming Wang
AJ Burnett
Joba Chaimberlain
Andy Pettitte
Looks good, huh?
About Melky now.
UGH!!! WHy would you trade a young Center Feilder for an aging outfielder of the same talent? WHere is this an upgrade? I was keep Melk and Brett, and let them start in Center. That is our best bet.
Ok.. Final thing… BRett and Melky can do a good enough job holding the position for AJAX. WE tried the aging Center Feilder thing before, remember? Williams, Lofton, and more recently Damon. I say no more aging Center Feilders EVER.
