WIN METHOD...2012-2013 winter


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.

WIN METHOD.....the fountain of baseball knowledge.

Ty Keel said...

i think what is hardest for stat frauds and many fans to realize is that a player can do well for one team and do nothing for another. That is where the WIN METHOD excels.

Cory said...

Two more weeks.

Awry said...

No updates on the rumor front.

Lonniethemainman said...

Solid season on the horizon.

Guy Leveque said...

Anchored by Jeter, the best defensive shortatop in the game, the infield will be very solid defensively to back up the solid pitching.

Deb F said...

Jeter has always made plays at shortstop that all other shortstops in the game only dream about.

Lou Lis said...

Exactly Deb. Jeter is the best in the game.

bigbadwolf said...

Wins are all that count.

Nick Polito said...

The biggest factor making Jeter the best is he has won more games than any other player in baseball since 1995.

Warren Hammond said...

A rumor has surfaced that Afraud is still buying and using banned substances.

Teena/Bronx said...

Chuck Arod already. There has to be something in the frauds contract regarding lying, cheating, and or substance abuse. How can you reward someone so rotten.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

Afraud is scum and has always been scum. Ban him.

Victor Tinzik said...

WIN METHOD has been right all along. Since 2000 he said Afraud was a cancer. Dead on right.

Alex Antonius said...

Ban Arod.

Quay Ho said...

No HOF for any and all steroid freaks. Hang them all.

YankeeMike said...

Ban Afraud.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

The Yankees have to find a way to oust Afraud.

Linda Rice said...

WIN METHOD has called out Afruad since the day he interviewed him and then agaon th;e second time he interviewed him. this is a guy you just don't want on your team.

RLA said...

Get rid of Afraud.

Stan the man said...

Baseball is paying for looking the other way when too many players cheated the game and the fans. Erase all records of the cheaters, once and for all.

Harry Stavris said...

Arod has to go. Start off by suspending him for this season.

Deb F said...

Your are right Stan. But it's all about the money and not what is best ofr the game or the fans.

Tom Loughlin said...

12 years WIN METHOD has been saying Arod is bad news and should not wear a Yankee uniform. WIN METHOD has been right since day one. Say goodbye Afraud.

Ted Lilly said...

no more Arod,PLEASE.

Carl Hooks said...

I agree with all here. Afraud must go.

Sal Marone said...

Jeter had onfield workout today fielding 55 ground balls, and is well ahead of his rehabilatation schedule and will definately start the season at short.

Erica Johnston said...

Arod is a skunk.

NJYANKEE said...

Out with Afraud.

VINCENT BONSIGNORE: New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez looking more like a fraud

By Vincent Bonsignore, Columnist
Posted: 01/29/2013 12:31:58 PM PST
Updated: 01/29/2013 06:41:59 PM PST

The baseball scouts tracking Alex Rodriguez more than 20 years ago painted a portrait of a can't-miss prospect with the most dazzling skill-set they've ever seen.

Too bad they couldn't get a scouting report on his soul.

WIN METHOD knew about afraud and told everyone who would listen. The Yankees listened in 2001, but not in 2004. The Yankees have been and are paying the price for signing a non WIN METHOD player who has no soul, is corrupt , and who has cheated his family and baseball.

Patricia Piper said...

Thank you William. Your posts are highly respedted.

Arod must go.

David Stern said...

Afraud is a documented cheater. Ban him from baseball. And all other cheaters.

will-i-am said...

Clean up baseball. Evict the steroid cheaters and then eliminate the fans who support them.

Sal Masterone said...

Can and ban afraud. Jeter should not have to play with a cancer like him.

Laura Koehler said...

I agree with most here. Afraud must go.

Quay Ho said...

Thank you for your insght William and everyone else. Baseball does need to clean up its act.

Gus Papa said...

Look at afraud as a positive. He has taken away our attention from the other frauds. The stat frauds.

Vinny Ferrero said...

ROFLOL Gus. Two peas in a pod. Both cheaters.

Eddie OConnor said...

Down with afraud.

jimbo said...

No mo arod.

Linda Pardo said...

Funny stuff posted here. Not so funny for afraud the fraud.

Stanley Chin said...

Steroids users are cheating the game.

Tommy Lee said...

Go away afraud.

Randy Wilson,CO said...

No matter what it will be interesting to see how the afraud ceal works out.

Jonas Slaught said...

Hey fans, give the stat frauds a break. They are busy. Either making up new useless formulas and or playing fantasy video games. As they say "Duh!"

Victor Gandozi said...

That's golden Jonas. Kudos

Alex Antonius said...

Funny Jonas.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

ROFLOL Jonas. You win. And that makes you WIN METHOD.

Linda Pardo said...

Wow, you guys are good. And yes stat frauds are bad.

Fred Slube said...

Yankees looking at Hafner for DH role. Can't hurt.

Sue said...

Love this stuff here.

bigbadwolf said...

The Yankees are working hard behind the scenes trying to rid themselves of the afraud cancer.

Raj Patel said...

Afraud stated today he will definately return to play this season for the Yankees and will play out is contract. He is a disgrace as a human being.

William Mensom said...

Bill Madden reports on Hot Stove of MLB network that Afraud injury is sorse than doctors are allowed to say and that his first hip surgety will more tha likely have to be redone also. Concluding Afraud will never be a decent player again and is toast.

Stan the Man said...

The good and bad in two posts. Get out Afruad.

Tomas Velez said...

The sordid life of Alex Rodriguez keeps marching along to close in final humiliation and disaster. But he doesn't care. He is to oblivious and stupid.

Frank Sergi said...

It will remain to be seen, but right now the best signing of the winter may very well be Kevin Youklis by the Yankees.

Saul Irving said...

Afraud but for his money is a loser of lifes lottery.

AAA said...

Don't hurt yourself trying to come back afruad, because we don't want you back.

Tommy Lee said...

The Youklis signing could be a gold mine for the Yankees.

William Mensom said...

Here's the latest on our corrupt cheating afraud.

Ray from Boston said...

What's the difference between Afraud and cow dung? Nothing.

Victor Bruno said...

Afrauds position. Deny, deny, deny, everybody lies but me.

Yankeeforever said...

Afraud is not only a cheat, he is also a liar.

Zhaire said...

When you look at the likes of afraud you can see just how great a player Derek Jeter really is.

Izzy Hernandez said...

Arod has no morals. He is a me type.

Les Onaka said...

Jeter has been a class act.

Vinny Ferrero said...

Just say no to Afraud.

Oliver Moore said...

The greed for money is just to much for some, alas they cheat.

johnny said...

Norod.

sid greenberg.nyc said...

Afraud is always a distraction. And it is always in a negative way.

Tom Loughlin said...

According to Arod he has done nothing wrong.

We will just have to let the afraud debacle ride and hope for the best.

Lou Lis said...

Hafner is a good sign, but now someone has to be dropped from the roster. To bad it can't be Afraud.

Warren Hammond said...

Canzler would likely be the one dropped.

Quay Ho said...

What some people will do for fame and money. It is a very sad world we live in, and getting worse.

RLA said...

Down to about 10 days for the opening of camp.

johnsondc said...

Sad to say I will watch the super bowl. Go Yankees.

Linda Rice said...

At least football will be toast after today.

Billy Tedder said...

I think a lot more incriminating evidence will come out and bury
Afraud as he denies, denies, denies.

One week until the action starts.

Justin Haskell said...

Simply put, this blog and the information in it is the most intelligent and useful information I've come across in a long long time.

Cory said...

Can't wait for a game, even a spring training game.

AAA said...

we should have 2 goals. Minimize injuries and keep afraud off th;e team.

Laura Koehler said...

13th for Yankee pitchers/catchers.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

I agree AAA. We had a boat load of injuries last year. Some really major. Afraud is a major distraction, and pretty much a useless tool now.

Deb F said...

Afraud is lying low so as not to be questioned re his cheating.

Victor Tinzik said...

Yes, one more week until a real sport startts another season.

George W said...

Keep in mind, if Afraud is suspended for 50 games and he doesn't take the chance on continued doping, without the dope he his nothing. He must be gone one way or another.

Patricia Piper said...

I think what many are glossing over is that Afraud is a cancer on the filed, in the clubhouse, and in his personal life. A real loser, but with big money in his pockets. Money can't buy happiness.

Nick Polito said...

Oh yes, everyday baseball gets a little bit closer.

Quay Ho said...

WIN METHOD....the finest baseball blog in existence, world wide.

Jack Gordon said...

I think this time Afraud is toast.

YankeeMike said...

Sad to say MLB has not had the guts to hang the cheaters, but has tened to let everything slide while looking the other way.

Afraud dare not show his lying cheating face during spring training.

Chen Cho said...

Less than a week until spring training and Jeter is going to the ballpark while Afraud goes to the outhouse.

johnsondc said...

Man are we getting a ton of posters from all over the world lately.

Bev F said...

Felix Hernandez signs with Mariners for big big bucks and forgoes a chance at signing with a contender. He takes the losers way out.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

He takes the easy way out. But he can never ever be considered one of the best pitchers if he is unable to compete at the highest level of playoffs and more.

Carl Hooks said...

I really like the 2013 Yankee team. barring any big injuries the Yankees could go all the way.

Warren Hammond said...

It tells much about a player who won't go FA and challenge himself to prove to be among the best. Hernandez may very well be happy being lauded by the stat frauds who think he is the greatest. WIN METHOD fans who truly know baseball, are aware the Hernandez is just another good arm who is over paid.

Tom Loughlin said...

Felix made it easy for the Yankees. Don't have to worry about him now.

RLA said...

We don't need any more take the money and play for yourself Afraud types.

Jerry Cucio said...

We don't need Arod. At best he is useless and his character is deeply flawed.

Ann Gallagher/PA said...

OK fans, just a few more days.

Ravi Maragh said...

This is going to be a good team this season. starting off on the right foot without Afraud.

Ned Loftus,Daytona Beach said...

It is being reported Jeter rehab is well ahead of schedule and he is ready to step up the pace of his recovery from his ankle surgery. Barring any set backs Jeter will be more than ready opening day.

AAA said...

Good news all the way around.

Frank Sergi said...

Lead the way Jetes, the Afraud roadblock is not in the way.

Zhaire said...

2013 will be another season the WIN METHOD can put a feather on its cap.

Tom Loughlin said...

Professional sports are alive again. Baseball is semi back.

will-i-am said...

YES! Baseballs back, but not a stat fraud can be found here to defend their phony stats.

Jed,NJ said...

Slow and easy guys. Pitchers build your arm strength and get ready to start the season. Nothing else matters until then.

Gary Ahearn said...

Big year guys, stay healhty and stay away Afraud.

Victor Gandozi said...

Afraud not attending spring camp. will stay in NY to rehab at the clubs. Has to keep up that regimen.

Gus Papa said...

Everything going good in Tampa camp after day one.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

"Being the captain of the team, he always is there for us, and I appreciate that. He's my friend, my teammate and I love him." ~ Mariano Rivera about Derek Jeter.

William Mensom said...

One thing the stat frauds hate more than anything is WINS. They can't accept that WINS allow teams and players to reach the playoffs, win pennants, and win World Series. They have to make up formulas that are invalid and full of holes, then try to brainwash the ill-informed that stats alone determine who the stat frauds dream to be the best.

Alex Antonius said...

Looks as if most players showed up in good shape and ready to go, form what has been reported.

Deb F said...

You are right again William. Cutting to the chaste, you have nailed the inability of stat frauds being able to defend their disingenuous position here. Facts and reality kill them.

Steve said...

Day one over, no injuries. Think positive.

Yankeeforever said...

Arod not in camp has to be a good thing. Plus we have a better 3b in Youkilis.

Chen Cho said...

Right on 28 in 13.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

It will be a better season for the Yankees than most brain dead stat head prognosticators think.

KevMac said...

Arod who, we have Youkilis. A WIN METHOD Youkilis is far better than 'me' Afraud.

Erica Johnston said...

Manager Girardi speaks confidently on the chances of this seasons Yankee team. And he should, no Afraud tp deal with.

Karl Cameron said...

Victor Bruno said...

I'm hoping for a pleasant surprise with someone making the team the team this spring that no one expects.

YankeeMike said...

This blog is the black plaque to stat frauds who make up numbers.

johnsondc said...

WINS the only stat that determines who is best. And WINS can't be manipulated and is not contrived. Choke on that stat frauds.

Rahm Mahood said...

Exactly johnsondc. In my profession, if you make up stats you crash and burn. To succeed you must deal in real facts. Just as the WIN METHOD does.

Deb F said...

Good stuff guys. The WIN METHOD is the bane of the stat frauds.

will-i-am said...

Another positive day in camp.

Stan the Man said...

Youk and Joba have met and talked. All is fine as it should be between two quality competitors.

Patricia Piper said...

The stat frauds can't be here now. they are busy playing with their make believe teams in their make believe leagues.

William Mensom said...

From what I have heard the Yankees feel they have a super catcher in the Romine/Sanchez combo and that is why they let Martin go.

Sean Smith said...

It would be great if you are right William. I hope you are.

Linda Pardo said...

So nice to wake up to such positive comments. Go Yankees.

Sharon/NC said...

Sanchez hit a HR in camp yesterday. And he is so young.

AAA said...

I think will have a great chance at winning more games than last year.

Danny nobosux said...

Plenty of players have successfully made the transition from Red Sox to Yankees. Its sort of a reincarnation thing... you live one life as an insect crawling through the slime in the foulest gutters of the baseball world, and you're later reborn as a higher form of life. Whether you build enough karma to remain in that higher form is entirely up to you (or Youk, as the case may be). As long as he's on my team I'll root for him, and give him the chance to earn my respect. One thing's for sure, despite being here for many years, A-roid hasn't.

Lee Askew said...

That was cute Danny.

Yankeeforever said...

Stopped by Yankee camp today. Cool and sunny. Everything peaceful.

We play to win and to win only. If you want to play for your own individual stats and lose, play for someone else.
