It has been a long time WIN METHOD fans since my last post. It was a tough ending to the 2012 season. None the less a pretty successful season. The YANKEES had the best record in the American league. Made the playoffs, advanced through the first round and then kaboom, the season was over when Derek Jeter went down with a broken ankle in the ALCS against the Detroit Tigers. I have been overwhelmingly busy for the past months. Attended every game since August. An extraordinary amount of interviews since the YANKEE season ended. There is rumor of several deals, acquisitions, and players being let go. In reality, the YANKEES are the best team in the American League East right now, and with a little tinkering and the right moves could be even better in 2013. As many of you WIN METHOD fans know and have suggested, the elimination of Alex Rodriguez from the roster would go a long way in making the 2013 YANKEES stronger. However, that may not be as easy as we would like. We can only hope, and as always we we play the hand we are dealt. With CC Sabathia and Derek Jeter having recent surgery, lets hope both are ready to start the season. The YANKEE pitching is strong front and back. The bats are still there, while that may change to some degree, the lineup should be strong. If Rodriguez remains a YANKEE, we can only hope he will be dropped significantly in the lineup, and at best gone completely. Nick Swisher and Rafael Soriano are likely to both be gone, but losing neither will hurt the team. One of the YANKEES elite minor league-rs will make an impact in 2013 and help the team. The YANKEE organization is looking at several acquisitions, but it takes two to make a deal, and some deals are better off not made if too much mast be given away. Some of the rumored players the YANKEES are supposedly looking at have no chance of being YANKEES because they are not WIN METHOD. So don't worry fans, there will not be any more Afraud mistakes.
Last month I also was lucky enough to celebrate my 70th birthday with my wife, two sons, two daughters, two daughter-in-laws, and three grand children. The celebration was done in a YANKEE baseball theme and motif and was an exceptional surprise. I am a very lucky man. Above is a picture of the apropos cake. WIN METHOD marches on.
I will try to keep you all abreast of any doings over the coming winter and I will again be attending the winter meetings. There is only so much I can tell you without jeopardizing possible maneuvers by the powers that be. The Steinbrenner sons have appeared to see the WIN METHOD light and things may get better for the YANKEES in 2013. After all decisions have been made, it is still the guys on the field who make things happen, and if those guys play WIN METHOD baseball, and play for the team to win, all will go well in 2013. Maybe we got all the injuries out of our system in 2012.
Thank you all for the support, comments, and posts. You WIN METHOD fans are the most knowledgeable fans in baseball and know that individual stats do not determine the best. Only WINS and winning can do that.

Best of 2013 to all Yankee fans.
Ibanez is gone. I think the Yankees weren't expecting a duplication of last years heroics.
The WIN METHOD blog is fantastic. I'm a novice fan trying to keep up with my baseball nut husband. This blog shows me how.
Hope everyone has a super new year.

2013.......the year of the Yankee.
Everyone have a great new year.
A super New Year to all.
Hope everyone is having a great holiday season.
It's been a good off season for the Yankees so far.
Let the New Year begin.
Yankee lineup is stronger without Afraud and the pitching is very strong from top to bottom.
Is it baseball season yet? Go Yankees!
The new year is coming, spring traininga is around the corner, and the Yankees will keep on rolling along.
Happy New Year.
New year hours away. All the best to Yankee fans everywhere.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013. The year of the YANKEES. 28 in 13.
Have a great new year.

Time grows short. Happy New Year everybody.
Party time. Happy New Year.
It's a New Year. May it be a great one for all.
Happy New Year
Happy New Year and may 2013 be a Yankee year.
Let the new year begin.
28 in 13.
Baseball is around the corner. Lets look alive.
Still a deal out there?
I had thought there would be a deal coming. However, I do like the team as is right now.
The Yankees led by Jeter will have another playoff year.
BASEBALL BASEBALL BASEBALL
Belated Happy New Year.
I agree 28 in 13.
I hear Jeter is coming along fine.
All's quiet in the Bronx.
We will still do some kind of deal.
Here's to a winning 2013 for everyone here.
Afraud still hasn't had surgery yet. With luck he will miss the entire season.
The longer Afrauds out the better off the team.
No mo Arod!!! No mo Arod!!!
The longer it takes for Afrauds surgery, the better for the team.
Goodnight Arod.
Happy belated New Year.
No Afraud no black hole in the lineup. That says it all.
The season gets closer every day, thank God.
A decent low cost right handed bat at several positions.
The addition of Russ Canzler is not bad.
Slowly but surely the 2013 Yankees get stronger and stronger.
Welcome Russ, you have to be an upgrade over Afraud.
I tend to agree. Looks like a good low cost investment.
Seven more weeks fans and a real sport is back.
Seven weeks is not soon enough Eugene.
Right now the Yankee starting lineup is best in baesball defensively with Jeter, Tiexiera, Gardner, and Ichiro leading the way. Followed by Cano, Granderson, and Youkilis not far behind.
It is going to be a very good season for the Yankees.
Solid team, solid season.
There's nothing to warch without baseball.
Can't wait for the season. Am going to get down to Florida for a spring training game in March.
Great baseball blog.
Welcome Raj, and you are right in you comment.
I love our lineup and the blend of power and speed.
One more piece will be added before spring training.
If anyone wants to view a horrendous waste of effort. Go goolgle Hall of stats. OH how meaningless.
I agree Sharon.
Went to Hall of Stats. What a joke these stat frauds are.
Hall of stats is a total waste and a product of a useless mind.
I'll stick with the WIN METHOD where the best win in reality and are not created by convoluted man made up stats.
WINS and winning will always determine the best. Anyone who says or thinks otherwise is foolish.
We may make a deal yet, but at what position?
Catcher? RH outfielder? multi-purpose utilty?
Is anyone out there better than what we have?
jimbo...yes if we trade away some of our talent. Which may not be the best plan.
I think we are fine with what we have now.
Just win guys just win. Afraud is down and out, we have it made.
I did the hall of stats thing. they define the dumbing down of America over there.
Nice job the HOF voters no electing anyone to the HOF this year.
No steroid cheats into the HOF.
This is a great blog.
Stay away Afraud.
Biggio probably should have been voted in for his individual 3000 hits.
I agree Eugene. If a hitter achieves 3000 hits in his career it is close to a pitcher getting 300 wins in his career. Although the 300 wins mean much more to a team.
The fraud goes under the knife next Wednesday.
Good luck Afraud. Hope all gors well. Take the season off.
Just over six weeks to baseball life.
Very nice sentiments Izzy. That would be fine with me.
I foresee a very good season with this Yankee team right now.
Word is Jeter is coming along fine and is working out.
I love the Yankee team as is right now. Very solid.
Winning rules and always tells who is best.
Will be fun to see who earns the catcher position.
Jeter is still the lynchpin of this team.
Hall of Stats = stat frauds.
Ifeel it in my bones. There is a deal to be had.
As long as it helps the team I will support any deal.
I like this blog.
Jetes walking boot is off. Making great progress and is in great shape.
Beautiful. Take it easy Derek. then come back and do what you do best. Be the best player in baseball for another season.
It looks like our only question mark position is catcher.
The catcher spot will be earned this spring.
Love reading this blog and the comments from its fans.
Cerveli will probably get the honor.
To start the season the catcher position may be the teams weakest.
However gets the nod, he will have to earn it.
Romine may need some more experience, but I am rooting for him.
Romines lost season this past year may what will be the issue that holds him back right now.
No moves today.
When you do look at the starters, the lineup is very solid. Yes, catcher is the big ?????
About six weeks to trining.
Any lineup without Afraud has to be a plus.
You got that right YankeeMike.
Have a positive outlook for the upcoming season.
Hey get your peanuts and crackerjacks here is growing closer.
Soriano signed by Nats. We get a nice compensation pick. Another good one for WIN METHOD.
We saved a lot of money not signing Soriano. The best of all is we have better to cover his role.
Don't forget we also have Sanchez slowing developing in the wings. You never know when BOOM! someone is ready when least expected.
Jeter has started baseball related training. Go Jeets go.
All the reports from Afruds doctors claim hip had nothing to do with steroids. We shall see what happens when and if he gets back. My sad prediction is more crash and burn and more excuses.
Re Afraud, when pigs fly.
One way or another, this is going to be an interesting season.
Get well Arod.
some competition for catcher and dh doesn't hurt.
I want Romine to earn the catcher spot.
I've been thinking. We challenge stat frauds, they lie and they deceive. we ask them to come here and defend their fraudulent premises, formulas built on deceit and lies. Do they come? Of course not, they have nothing but themselves and their lies.
Hey wolfie, have you seen the hall of stts cite? It's worth a laugh.
Sarcasticaly I now make a comment as a stat fraud would......duh!
We are still the best in the AL East for 2013.
The stat frauds are justing spitting into the wind.
We still have the best in baseball, Derek Jeter, leading us.
Four weeks till spring training.
Can't wait Tom.
Come on stat frauds. Come and argue your views.
Our pitching will be much better than many think it will be.
I wonder if a deal is to be made it will mean surrendering one of our several starters.
I wonder if Zoilo Almonte can make the team..he is real close to being ready for the big time.
Forgot about Almonte. Doesn't he switch hit?
LETS GO YANKEES. It's never to early.
Yankeeforever....the stat frauds have their head buried in the sand.
Yes Dominic, Almonte is a switch hitter and he will positively be playing in the Bronx in 2014 if not at some time this year. He is just blossoming.
How many more quality players are coming along.
Here is a fact for WIN METHOD fans to chew on.. If you pose an opinion but are unwilling and unable to defend it outside of your own kind, you are a fraud with a fraudulent opinion.
You have to be talking about the stat fraud community. WIN METHOD fans have gone to their sites countless times and challenge them and defeat them with common sense and logic. Not once has a stat fraud come here and defended their position successfully.
One of the biggest problem with the stat frauds is their man created value system they use to reach their conclusions. That is su;re lunacy.
Stat frauds are only comfortable when they are 10 to 1 against an opponent. Singularly they are gutless.
The WIN METHOD blog is a knife in the heart of stat frauds.
Gus, anytime someone puts an arbitrary value on something, it becomes a meaningless value.
Come on frauds, show us what you got. We have your crying towels ready.
Go WIN METHOD fans, go.
Three weeks until spring training.
Still no one to defend meaningless individual stats.
All's quiet on th;e trade front.
The season is getting closer and so is another playoff season.
No move is better than a bad move.
The frauds ain't coming here any more. They have no game, they live on deception and lies.
Word is Jeter is about q week ahead of rehab scheduke.
Great new re Jeter.
Expect nothing from the stat frauds.
There may be no upcoming trades. I think we are solid as we stand.
Wins and winning is what determines the best. Nothing else. Anybody who tries to say otherwise is a fool.
I have visited and read countless baseball blogs, the WIN METHOD blog is undoubtedly the best by far. Kudos and congratulations.
Thank you for your kind comment George and welcome to the WIN METHOD blog.
Nice George, welcome.
Great stuff here people. LETS GO YANKEES.
We still have the best team in the AL east. But are we good enough to win it all?
Low expectations at the catcher spot is good. We may very well be pleasantly surprised.
It is nice seeing so many people posting here more and more. Welcome to all new comers.
I think this is going to be a surprisingly successful season for the Yankees.
On several stat fraud forums they are tending to bask Youkilis. What utter ignorance.
The stat frauds only look at meaningless stats and complain why didn't the Yankees get this guy or that guy.
Why do they keep this guy or that guy. The frauds have no idea what it takes to win. Winning is the goal not individual stats, and it takes much more than individual stats to be a winner.
Look for Joba to be lights out this season.
Dead on correct Vlad. Winning is not determined by what one or two individuals accomplsih for themselves, it is determined by what 25 men accomplsih for the team.
Guys, the concept of the team winning is what the stat frauds can't comprehend. They try to come up with values for each event in every game at every separate point in the game and claim they know how good players are. They just don't understand that not every game has the same value because every single situation in every single games is ALWAYS different. They are fools.
OMG what a great blog.
Can't wait for this season to start. No Arod will make it a great one.
The Yankees have been consistently the most solid team in baseball since Jeters arrival.
The Yankees since Jeters arrival have made the playoffs every single year but one.
Jeter is a first ballot HOFer and in a class by himself.
And you know how Jeter and his team mates accomplished getting to the playoffs. With wins.
Smile, less than three weeks to spring training.
With Youk at 3rd, Jeter will not have to cover as much ground as he had to with the afraud statue next to him.
Less than 3 weeks to spring training.
The thing that scares me is if afraud tries to upset the applecart late in the season. Chuck him, and pay him to stay away.
With spring training comes warmer weather.
Number one baseball blog in Japan.
Go Yankees in 2013. Bring home number 28.
Wake wake stat frauds. Wins and only wins will always determine the best players and teams.
Not one stat fraud shows his face here. Proving how meaningless they are.
16 days to go.
We need to have far less injuries this year. Last year was ridiculous.
Jeter and the pitching staff is what will carry this team to the playoffs this season.
