9 Reasons the Yankees may not repeat this year:
- Pitching: If Andy gets hurt, the bullpen falls apart or Mo has a Joe Nathan moment this could all fall apart fairly fast.
- A-rod becomes A-Fraud: I’m not sure how I feel about A-rod’s long term place in Yankee history or if he will go down as a victim or a victor but in the back of my mind I keep wondering if he’s going to have an implosion year.
- Chemistry gone bad: I wonder what all the changes will do to the team chemistry. Of course, I imagine that Grandy will bring great chemistry this year, but what about Randy Winn? What about all the little changes?
- Left Field: How is this position going to hold up? Will it be position by committee or will someone become the established everyday player?
- Jete’s legs: Will Jete’s legs catch up with him this year and cause him to not be able to be the SS we all know him to be?
- Grumpy Girardi: Which Joe Girardi will we get? The one from last year who was relaxed and calm or the the more dialed up and tense one from two years ago?
- Slow Start Tex: If Tex has a slow April (which he’s been known to do occassionally) will the Yankees fall into a hole they can’t dig out of?
- Pressurized Granderson: Can Grandy play in NY? Can he handle the media. Baseball is full of players that were All-Stars for other teams but wilted like funeral flowers in the harsh NY spotlight.
- Injuries: The bottom line is that you need players to win. If the team has a rash of Met like injuries I could see it hampering them.
Let’s be honest, I don’t think any of these will happen.
