WIN METHOD -- Yu Darvish

I couldn't let this go any longer.   As you all know by now, Yu Darvish has decided to play major league baseball and will be posted in Japan any day now.  Yu Darvish is WIN METHOD and would make a fantastic addition to the YANKEES.  This could be the piece that can carry the YANKEES to the 2012 World Series Championship.  The YANKEES will make a very substantial offer to win the rights to be able to negotiate with Darvish.  Yu Darvish if he had his choice, wants to play for the YANKEES, and he wants to WIN.  Those beautiful words 'wants to WIN', not play for himself, but for the team to WIN.  It is now up to the YANKEE ownership to open up the purse strings and earn the rights to Darvish.  After that it will be easy.  Unfortunately, the YANKEES can not control what some other team is willing to spend for the rights to Darvish.  If it was a straight up decision by Darvish, he would become a YANKEE.  If all goes well, Darvish could be a gigantic Christmas present to YANKEE fans from the Steinbrenners. 

If we do not get the rights to Darvish, there is one more option which I am unable to discuss at this time.  Hopefully we will not have to use any backup plans.

I should be home for the Christmas season in the few days.  I would like to wish all you WIN METHOD fans out there, the greatest and most knowledgeable fans in the world, a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy and healthy New Year.  

Our goal for 2012 is crystal clear, another World Series Championship. 

From all the information I am getting, the YANKEE pitching in 2012 will be the best in years.  We have minds concentrating on winning and the youngsters will be blooming and growing.   28 in 12.

WIN METHOD - WINS--determine the best

When talking to fans the question I get asked most is why wins.   A good example of WINS being the only way to determine the best players and the best teams is the first round of this years playoffs.  In all four series the team that scored less runs over the series won their playoff series.  Why, because only WINS determines who wins and who is the best.  Other stats are misleading at best and are usually meaningless in determining best.  It is not how much or how many a player or team can attain, but WHEN they attain or produce.  A quick run down.  The YANKEES scored 28 runs and the Tigers scored 17.  The Tigers won the series 3 games to 2.  The Phillies scored 21 runs and the Cardinals scored 19.  The Cardinals won the series 3 games to 2.  The Diamondbacks scored 25 runs and the Brewers scored 23.  The Brewers won the series 3 games to 2.  The Rays scored 21 runs and the Rangers scored 16 and the Rangers won the series.  Four series and the teams that scored the most runs were all eliminated.  Why???  Because it not how much or many but WHEN that determines the winner and the best.  A player who singles to win a game 3-2 in the 8th inning is far more important than a player who hits a grand slam in the 8th inning that increases his teams lead from 8-1 to 12-1.  A home run and four RBIs that are meaningless or a single and one RBI that determines a WIN, the single and the WIN are what the WIN METHOD is.  The WIN METHOD looks at WINS and winning as what determines greatness, not on how much or how many is attained while losing.  To top it all off the YANKEES who scored the most runs of any team in the playoffs were eliminated and the Rangers who scored the least runs in the playoffs won the easiest.


We have covered defensive stats in previous blog posts.  Just to recap, defensive stats are the most meaningless of any stat and are completely and totally useless.  Defensive stats are cited and used by only the most ignorant baseball fans that exist.  There are so many convoluted man made stats to try to figure out and determine the best, but they are what they are, convoluted and man made.  They determine nothing, but they do keep the stat frauds busy.  There are certain stats that are legitimate and can be used in certain ways, such batting average, RBIs, HRs, walks, strike outs, runs, stolen bases, etc.  These stats tell more about an individual players speed and power more than anything.  they cannot and do not tell you how good a player is.  Only WINS and winning can do that.  A favorite argument of the stat frauds is that if so and so played here or there they would be a winner and or if so and so played here or there they would be a loser.  In this day and age of baseball any player, if he is good enough and coveted enough, can play for almost any team he wishes.  That stat fraud argument does not fly.  It as fraudulent as the stat frauds themselves.


The YANKEES are gone from this years playoffs.  They have no one to blame but themselves, they produced more than any other team in the playoffs, but they did not produce WHEN it mattered most.  That is what determines and separates the winners from the losers.  A few adjustments will be made for next year, but the YANKEE biggest problem is a broken down steroid abuser in Alex Rodriquez and what to do with him and or where to hide him in the lineup.  I would chuck him, but that will not happen.  Hopefully he can come back and help a little.  The YANKEES did so well when he was out of the lineup and won the division easily.  When he came back the wheels seemed to come off the wagon with the black hole he created in the middle of the lineup.


Don't look for the killer B's until late next year.  The YANKEES do not usually bring along guys who have not been seasoned at the AAA level.  Look for Warren and Noesi to get a shot at the rotation or even a quality pitching acquisition during the winter.

WIN METHOD baseballs best blog

The WIN METHOD, baseballs number one blog, the blog that separates facts and winning from fantasy games and losers has just surpassed seven million views from fans all around the world. Fans from over one hundred countries spanning the globe have visited the WIN METHOD blog and have posted comments. Fans if you really want to understand baseball and what it takes to win and the be the best, welcome. However, if you want to bury your head in the sand, recite, and spew meaningless individual statistics, this is not the place for you.


Updating all WIN METHOD fans. Due to hurricane Irene and the havoc it caused throughout the mid eastern states this blog was unable to receive any comments made by all of you. Major communication and transmission lines where severely damaged by the hurricane and there was no land line phone service, no cell phone service, and no internet service for people here in North Carolina. Phone and internet service was restored and still is being restored for some piece meal. This blog was out of service for over one week and all of your comments during that period have been lost in space. We are up and running again and the YANKEES are making their final push to the playoffs and the second season. 

The YANKEES just completed a series in boston against the redsux winning two of three games and as we play the final month of the season we are in virtual tie with the sux for first place, with both teams more than likely to make the playoffs. Since coming off the disabled list with a calf injury, Derek Jeter has taken his team on his back and kept the YANKEES at the edge of first place and in a great position to make its final run in the final month of the regular season.

The YANKEES have added several players to the roster as of September 1st, including highly touted WIN METHOD selectee Jesus Montero. Now if we can only keep Montero away from Afraud and being contaminated, Montero may have a very jeweled career in front of him helping the YANKEES to playoffs, pennants, and World Series titles.

Another reminder to you stat frauds out there. We all here at the WIN METHOD are still waiting for any of your ilk to post here and explain just how your losing players are better than the WIN METHOD champion winning players. You stat frauds are missing out on what baseball has to offer, but then again you have your brain dead fantasy leagues to play with yourselves.

WIN METHOD - JETER 3000 and more

In the next few days Derek Jeter, the greatest major league baseball player over the past twenty years will reach 3000 hits. Jeter will be the twenty-eighth player in the history of baseball to achieve this feat. Jeter will be the first YANKEE to  reach the 3000 hit plateau. Jeter will be the only shortstop who played his entire career at the shortstop position to achieve this individual milestone. When you consider the names of the great YANKEES of the past, and the miniscule amount of players on all teams who have reached 3000 hits, Jeter reaching 3000 hits is a major accomplishment. Jeter is the consummate professional, no ego, plays for the team to WIN not individual statistics. One of the greatest defensive shortstops in the history of baseball. Second to none on popups, turning the double play, coming in on slow rollers, and vast range in all directions. Jeter is the poster boy for MLB. Never an iota of bad publicity, no steroids, charming, and charismatic. No player in the past twenty years has led his team to as many playoffs, pennants and World Series titles. Those are the true measure of greatness and great players, NEVER meaningless individual stats. WINS and WINNING determine the greatest of the great players of the game. Jeter will be the first to tell anyone who really knows baseball, and is intelligent enough to listen, just that. Jeter plays for the team to win and no player over the past twenty years had done that more or better. Congratulations to Jeter for his individual accomplishment, but more and bigger congratulations for helping his team WIN.

It appears steroids are catching up to Alex Rodriquez. His body seems to breaking down with more and more nagging injuries of every kind. Sad to say, the YANKEES may have made Rodriquez the most overpaid player in the history of baseball.

The second half of the season should be fun in the American League East with three of the best teams in baseball in the same division fighting for the pennant. The return of Jeter, Colon, and Hughes could be the edge the YANKEES need to win it all. Then there is always the possibility making a deal to fill any perceived needs.

WIN METHOD special draft selection Adam Warren started the season at AAA Scranton moving very quickly through the minor league system. Warren is 6-3 so far this season while showing some flashes of brilliance at time. Warren will reach the major league level soon one way or another.

To reiterate to all fans of the WIN METHOD and anyone else who reads this blog. WINS and WINNING determines the greatest players in the game. Individual personal stats do not make a player great, only WINS and WINNING can make a player one of the greatest of all time. The stat geeks when asked why their individual stat player doesn't help his team win, will always respond..it's his team mates fault, if he played somewhere else he would win. In this day and age of baseball any player can go anywhere he wants, IF a team would have him.

WIN METHOD SUCCESS

In traveling the country and talking with baseball fans, the questions I get the most are 1.why the WIN METHOD and 2.what makes the WIN METHOD so successful? Most WIN METHOD fans know the answer to these questions already having been followers of the WIN METHOD for many years now. For the skeptics and new fans coming to this blog, I will speak to these questions here. Unfortunately many so many fans of baseball have been dumbed down as to why baseball is played and the desired results sought by most ownership. These dumbed down fans idolize individual statistics. They create and manufacture statistics which tell you little to nothing regarding a players ability to help his team win. In particular, defensive statistics that erroneously measure range of a fielder are totally worthless and are used only by the most ignorant fans of the game. Individual statistics for a hitter tell what a hitter is capable of doing. These stats can tell a hitters propensity for getting a hit, hitting a home run, driving in runs, scoring runs, etc. These individual statistics however, do not tell of the players ability to do what is needed to help his team WIN. A player can be the greatest individually while not being the greatest using the WIN METHOD. Baseball is the ultimate team game. A player scores a run because a team mate may knock him in, a hitter may get an RBI because a team mate got on base to be knocked in. Hitting for a high average is nice, but when you get a hit is usually far more important. Lets talk pitchers for a moment. There are two kinds of statistics for pitchers, those that are strictly individual to the pitcher and those that determine how the team fares. A pitchers job is to WIN or for a bullpen pitcher to hold and or save a game. As the pitchers earn these stats, they are directly related to what their team mates do on the field to allow them to get into the position of earning these individual stats. However, a caveat to a pitchers stat is that a pitchers stat can be directly related to the teams stats. The individual pitchers statistics that only deal with the pitcher himself in the big picture are then relatively meaningless. Wins, holds, and saves are the true measurement of a pitchers ability to help his team succeed. The more wins, holds, and saves the pitching staff earn, the more wins the team earns. And wins is why baseball is played. If you learn anything from the WIN METHOD, learn that wins is why baseball is played. Nothing else matters. Getting back to hitters. A hitter who hits .280 can be more valuable to his team than a .310 hitter on another team. A player with 85 RBIs can be more valuable to his team than a player on another team with 120 RBIs. How can this be? This can be because it is not the individual amassing of personal numbers that matter, it is when these numbers are achieved that matters....For example, a grand slam HR in the eight inning of a game your team is winning 11-2 is meaningless for the team and the end result of the game, but it really adds to the individual players personal stats. While a sacrifice fly in the eight inning to help your team win a one run game can be far more valuable to the team in that it helped the team win the game. I can go on forever, but hopefully you get the gist of the WIN METHOD. The WIN METHOD measures players on their ability to help their team win and solely on their ability to help their tam win. The best of the best players in todays game are the players who help their team to the most playoffs, pennants, and World Series rings.
If anyone has any questions, please post them in the comment section and any of the millions of brilliant WIN METHOD fans will be sure to answer.
Remember WIN METHOD fans, the goal 28 in 11.

WIN METHOD / ANDY PETTITTE

Recently WIN METHOD fans were told Andy Pettitte would pitch this year for the YANKEES. At the time of that post Andy had confirmed he would pitch this year. Andy stated such in his retirement press conference today. Earlier this week Andy changed his mind because he felt the WIN METHOD desire was no longer in the pit of his stomach. That statement from Andy, that the overwhelming desire to go through the grind and have that desire in the pit of his stomach defines the WIN METHOD. That desire is the WIN METHOD. You aren't the best unless you are WIN METHOD. That is what made Pettitte the winningest pitcher in baseball over the span of his career, the winningest pitcher in the history of post season competition, and the starting pitcher with the most World Series rings over his career. Andys' departure leaves a huge void in the YANKEE rotation, but that void will be filled by an up and coming future star from the YANKEE farm system. We will overcome. Andy will be missed. We congratulate Andy and his family, and wish him all the luck in the world in any future endeavors.

WIN METHOD NEWS

Just confirmed by WIN METHOD, YANKEE pitcher Andy Pettitte will return to the YANKEE rotation as a starter for the 2011 season. This is great news for the YANKEE fans who know baseball. Andy has been the most dominant left handed pitcher in baseball over his career and the pitcher with more post season wins than any other pitcher in baseball history. Winning at the highest level makes a player the best of the best.
In other news, the YANKEE roster for the start of the 2011 season will look something like this. 1. Derek Jeter ss 2. Nick Swisher rf 3. Mark Teixeira 1b 4. Alex Rodriquez 3b 5. Robinson Cano 2b 6. Curtis Granderson cf 7. Jorge Posada dh 8. Russell Martin c 9. Brett Gardner lf. The two and six spot could easily be flip flopped. Changes will be allowed for rival pitcher, player rest, and who is hot and who is not.
It is great to see the three fantastic Gold Glove winners in the infield for the YANKEES. Led by Captain Derek Jeter at shortstop. Jeter still has overwhelming range, sure handed skills, and is the best in baseball at charging infield rollers, turning the double play, going into the hole, and snagging popups in ever direction. Cano is still developing his skills at second base and is a most smooth, fluid, and talented commodity. Then their is Mark Teixeira at first base. Snags the hottest shots both to his left and right and one hops throws from his infielders better than anyone in baseball.
As the season begins the YANKEES start with the best bullpen in baseball. With the best closer in Mariano Rivera, the best eighth inning setup man in Rafael Soriano, and a combination of David Robertson, Joba Chamberlain, Boone Logan, and Pedro Feliciano for the sixth and seventh innings, the YANKEE pen is second to none.
I would like to take a minute to brief any newcomers to the WIN METHOD blog about the WIN METHOD. The WIN METHOD evaluates players on how they perform by helping their team WIN. The object of baseball is to WIN games. The more games any team WINS, the more likely they will advance to the playoffs. To advance through the playoffs, each team must WIN rounds of games, and the team who does this the most WINS the coveted prize, the World Series. Playing for the team is the crux of the WIN METHOD, not playing for ones own personal stats. Personal stats are used by stat frauds who accept losing over winning as long as their selected player(s) do more for themselves than for the team. The WIN METHOD does not really care what a player achieves for himself, it can be a little or a lot. The most important fact must be, did the team WIN. The team WINS with the contribution of every player on the team contributing during each and every game. This can be accomplished in a myriad of ways. Hitting, defensively, pitching (both starters and relievers), base running, intangibles, etc. It is never a matter of how much or how many a player earns for himself, but did the team earn the WIN. WINNING IS WHY BASEBALL IS PLAYED. The use of any other measure is for frauds of the game.
