06/02: Contrarian perspective re: Injuries
Posted by: Jason
#1 in the American League in runs scored.
Winners of their last 3 series, including 2 against good teams.
10 games over .500, 0.5 games out of 1st place.
The injury situation is obviously important, but I sense an unjustifiable disturbance in the Yankees universe. We had great expectations of the intact lineup in spring training. Granted, it is worrisome to see injuries mount.
I understand and concede that it's still early in the season. But read the first 3 lines of this post: The current arrangement (even given Terrence Long) is getting the job done. Don't make the ideal (i.e., memories of the 1,000 run juggernaut that crushed Oakland on opening day) the enemy of the good enough.
Taking 3/4 vs. the Tigers and 2/3 vs. Boston is good enough.
