Who's gonna jump on here with me today?
I will continue to fade the Yankees as they are just not a good team right now. Yes AJ Burnett has been unreal this season and clearly could shut down anybody after two sparkling outings as a New Yorker but the way the Yankee offense has been playing, aka struggling, without Arod I just do not think that Joe Girardi's squad can be laying such a price in any pitching matchup and that includes a bad Carl Pavano against Burnett.
Pavano is probably at the end of the road in his career which will be very underachieving but he is a former Yankee who would love nothing better than come back to the Bronx and shove it up his former team's you know what. As long as Pavano does not completely implode, which I don't think he will, I will take my chances for sure with a lineup led by a total stud in Grady Sizemore along with Travis Hafner, Victor Martinez, Mark DeRosa and a few others. No doubt the Tribe should have saved some of those runs from yesterday but at this price what the hey!?!?
Let's face it, these Yankees continue to get some clout because they are the "Yankees". As I have said since the season began this team just does not scare me at all. Mark Teixeira is powerful and great but that is about it, save maybe Robinson Cano who has been swinging the bat well. Jeter and Damon are extremely mediocre and other guys like Gardner, Molina and Ransom are not typical Yankees and guys that can go 0fer at the drop of a hat.
Burnett is rolling and could shut down Cleveland today. But the price is a bit too high and I'll continue to go against those Yankees here.
