Mikey- I usually agree with you...and I do agree that their offense is incredible and shows no signs of stopping, however I think that management hasn't shown their usual skill during the past 2 years. In the first years of the run, they would pick up guys based on their ability to fit in, regardless of skill.

In the past 2 years, they've picked up players like Raul Mondesi, Rondell White, John Vander Wal and Bubba Trammel who haven't worked out as planned and some who have complained about playing time.

The reason I said that Benitez was a sign of the rise and fall of the Yanks is that they're making moves that seem desperate. I would be thrilled if Benitez adjusts to his new role as a set-up man. His first night was super--his second night, not so great.

I just feel that they're throwing a lot of stuff up against the wall and seeing what sticks. Grab a lot of pieces and worry about how they fit later, instead of taking the time to find the right piece as they did in the late 90's.
