It has arrived. YANKEE opening day game for the 2014 season. This will be an epic season. Derek Jeter, the last member of the 'Core Four', will play his final season for the YANKEES. Jeter who has been the best player in Major League Baseball over the past twenty years, winning more games, appearing in more playoffs, winning more pennants and winning more World Series than any player has announced his retirement. Jeter whose brilliant defense solidifying the middle of the YANKEE infield with far ranging defense, making countless plays look routine, and also making plays in the biggest events that no other shortstop in baseball could make but could only dream of, will play his last season at shortstop. Jeters retirement will be celebrated by every team in every ballpark he visits throughout the season. Jeter, who has been the most positive face of Major League Baseball during his career deserves every accolade he gets, why, because he earned it on the field with WINS. And winning and wins has and always will be the determining factor in the greatest players of any era. Derek Jeter has been the best baseball has had to offer for the past twenty years.
After last seasons injury plagued year where so many YANKEE players had so many injuries with so many games not played, the YANKEES hung on to a playoff run right up to the last week of the season and still posted a winning record for the season. The YANKEE players set the record for game time lost by players for any one season in baseball history. Over the winter, the YANKEES were active in rebuilding the team. The injured are healthy again, the YANKEES signed several solid WIN METHOD players who wanted to wear the YANKEE uniform and now will get a chance to prove what it means to be a YANKEE.
The WIN METHOD looks for the YANKEES to win at least 93 games this season and that is minimum, but the sky is the limit and 100+ games is not impossible. Captain Derek Jeter will lead his team to the playoffs and the new crop of YANKEES will follow the leader to the playoffs.
The YANKEE outfield is solid and deep. The infield anchored by Jeter and Teixeira at shortstop and first base and the addition of Brian Roberts at second base and Kelly Johnson at third base will be brilliant defensively and more than adequate offensively. Catcher Brian McCann is a major upgrade behind the plate. The pitching staff, starting with the starting rotation is second to none in baseball, and the bullpen will be more than adequate. There is no question that the retirement of Mariano Rivera leaves a hole, but hopefully David Robertson who has been groomed to fill Mo's closing spot will not let the team down. Another great factor in making this 2014 YANKEE team better is the banishment from baseball of one of the biggest liars and cheats in baseball being gone. The distraction of afraud is gone for 2014.
Don't forget WIN METHOD fans, every player on the team helps in their own way, forget individual stats, it is wins that will determine who goes to the playoffs and all we want to do is win. So, lets get ready for the comeback ride of the 2014 season. LETS GO YANKEES!

Royals pounding Giants 8-0 in 4th. Looks like a game seven tomorrow.
World Series game seven. 162 game season, then four rounds of playoffs for one game to define the best. This is baseball, the greatest game in the world.
KC evens series with 10-0 win in game six. All the marbles tonight.
Giants up 3-2 after 5.
Giants win WS with a 3-2 win as Madison Bumgarner goes five innings in relief to earn his third win of the series. Bumgarner in now officially the best pitcher in baseball. And he did it with wins and only wins. Particularly in the playoffs under the biggest and most important games.
What a thrilling series. Baseball rules the world over and over.
Tough loss for the Royals. Bumgarner surely carried the Giants. No question he was MVP and best player in baseball.
Now the Yankees and Yankee fans move forward to the 2015 season and restoring the Yankees to the best.
Hi WIN METHOD. Long time no see. You owe us. Love ya,
You can plan all you want, but there are many factors, some that you cannot control, that determine if everything comes together.
To often you can't get what you want or hope for. A lot of competition and all to many youngsters are screwed up in their priorities and thinking.
Robertson would be a good keeper.
Robertson will stay a Yankee in 2015,
Go Yankees 2015.
Eric Chavez hired as special assistant.
Think positive for 2015.
Thinking positive, kick afraud off the team forever. DFA him.
Yankee rookie Greg Gird named AFL all star game MVP. Bird has been tearing up the AFL.
It would be great if a couple of our home grown kids can contribute in 2015.
Here is a great video of the greatest baseball player over the past 20 years.
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=34048301&topic_id=70089766&c_id=nyy
A consideration for 2015 is we have so many guys coming back from injuries of different degrees, you never now if they will be able to perform and to what degree and for how long.
We have two straight years of major injuries to multiple players. We are due for a healthy year.
Many fans knock the Yankees over the past two seasons, but without the massive injuries they easily could have made the playoffs, and likely well more.
Brett Gardner recovering from very minor rectus muscle surgery,
Nothing seems to be minor when the Yankees are involved.
Everything is peaceful for now.
I think the Yankees biggest concern for 2015 is the dirtbag afraud. Just cut him.
afraud is a cancer and those who support him are fools.
Hey WIN METHOD, we are way overdo for a blog. Love ya,
YES, Derek Jeter was the best player in MLB for the past 20 years.
Ichiro was a fascinating player to cover since coming to the Yankees in a mid-2012 trade, and his MLB Network interview will air Monday night at 8 p.m. in an episode of Studio 42 with Bob Costas. Among the topics discussed: Derek Jeter’s final game in the Bronx.
“One thing that I will never forget about Jeter that will be with me for the rest of my life is the scene of his last game at Yankee Stadium,” Ichiro said. “To see him take the field in the first inning, go to his position — and I was in right field — it was just such an emotional game, such an emotional moment, and I felt, in right field, watching him, experiencing it, I felt like it was going to bring me to tears. And I knew that it had to be so emotional for him, but you never felt that. I never saw the tears, I never sensed that it was as emotional as it was for him as I knew it had to be. And I just wondered, ‘How does he have the ability to control his emotions to that degree? How does he have the ability to not show that side of him to all of these people?’ That’s something that will be with me for the rest of my life.”
Great post Sharon.
Yankees sign Chris Young as 4th outfielder.
Jeter makes fools of the stat frauds by wins and winning.
Wouldn't it be nice if the Yankees pull a rabbit out of the hat and are able to sign FA Pablo Sandoval for third base.
Sandoval yes, afraud no.
I will have a blog post in a short time.
Cervelli traded today to Pirates for half baked relief pitcher.
For 2015 Jeter is the lucky Yankee, he won't have to deal with or put up with the cancer afraud.
Three more months until spring training.
Greg Bird has won the Arizona Fall League MVP award.
Right now for Bird, Tex is the road block.
A big deal between Atlanta and St Louis and a big long term signing by the Marlins. The Marlin 13 year contract is a major blunder.
Slowly we creep to spring training camp.
Yankees sign P Jose De Paula. Another lefty reliever. spring training will be competitive.
I feel the Yankees may do something very big this off season. Things are very quiet.
Zealous Wheeler sold to Japan league team. Mason Williams and Tyler Austin added to Yankee 40 man roster.
Happy Thanksgiving Yankee fans. Just three more months until sports is alive again.
Lets go Yankees.
It sure looks like the bosux are spending big time. Alas, it will do them no good.
It is not always how much you spend but it is the WIN METHOD qualities of the player that means the most.
Happy thanksgiving.
Enjoy your dinner. Happy
Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving baseball fans.
happy turkey day.
My best to all on this day of celebration. A day to be thankful for all we have.
Everyone, enjoy Thanksgiving with family and friends.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
Happy turkey day.
Santa Claus is here. Let the season of Christmas begin.
Happy Thanksgiving
Gobble gobble.
Happy Thanksgiving.
To everyone here, Happy Thanksgiving.
Black Friday shopping done.
Hope everyone had a safe and good eating Thanksgiving.
I think when the Yanks pull the trigger, it will make a big boom.
My goal would be Scherzer.
Slowly we creep along, the BOOM.
Another month gone. Getting closer to spring training.
The Yankees will make a big splash this off season for a quality player or two.
Rumor has it Yankees in on Miller for relief.
Strong chance Miller will sign with Yanks.
Yankees obtain ss Didi Gregorious for Shane Greene in three way deal with Tigers and Diamondbacks.
Yankees sign Andrew Miller for four years. Slowly we build.
So far so good. Miller will be a big asset. And no matter who we put at shortstop, no one, repeat no one would be as good as Jeter was offensively or defensively.
There is no way in H E double hockey stick we can ever be as good at short. So we just build around that position and try to get better at all the other spots to compensate.
Miller is a great add. Just the fact he took less $$$$ from the Yankees proves he is WIN METHOD. Gregorious is better than Ryan and Drew with far more possible upside. Shortstop will never be the same for the Yankees, nor could it ever be after Jeter.
The biggest move is still to come.
I would hope we still keep Robertson.
God, i can't wait for baseball season.
If the Yanks resign Robertson, it could be said the Yanks could essentially need only five innings from starters.
i would still like to get Scherzer.
Do not be surprised to see Sabathia come back really big.
Scherzer over Lester for me.
A CC recovery would be big.
A top quality starter is needed, just in case. You never have to much pitching.
Nobody can replace Jeter.
Jeter can be replaced. Someone has to play shortstop. But he can never ever be equaled offensively or defensively.
Merry Christmas everyone. I will be away for a month.
Drob is gone to Chicago. We are better off for it. He was good, but at best very shakey and my heart was always in my mouth in those one run games he entered.
Build a WIN METHOD team Cashman.
Nothing exciting today for Yanks.
Scherzer is looking for some really big bucks.
A heck of a lot of bodies changing uniforms this winter. You won't be able to tell the players without a score card.
Players are flying off the shelves left and right.
The Major League Baseball winter meetings in San Diego, California have concluded and each teams representatives are heading home for the Christmas holidays. There will still be much dealing and signing by teams over the winter until spring training camps open in February. Can't come soon enough.
Tis the season. Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
The only way I can see the Yankees making noise is to sign FA Scherzer.
Moncada is another big fish for the catching.
Would anyone take Scherzer and Moncada?
I can live with either, but I would love to have both. If only one, Scherzer would be my choice.
Merry Christmas WIN METHOD fans.
Christmas is around the next corner. That means baseball will be in full spring training mode in just two months after that. Think positive. Merry Christmas.
No news on Yankee front over weekend.
Merry Christmas to one and all.
Yankees to sign Headley for 4 years at @ 52mil.
My Christmas wish is afraud booted off the team. Can you spell C A N C E R.
I can live with Headley. Anyone but the fraud, liar, cheat.
Headley is in the fold. That leaves afraud to be shown the door.
Merry Christmas.
Headley is a solid signing. Now to land a really big fish.
Yanks sign Capuano for one year deal. And Cashman tell afraud he will not play the field in 2015. Cashman said afraud will only DH if he can produce.
afraud has to go. No way on earth he should be taking up a roster spot. He can't field, he can't run and he can't hit.
Merry Christmas
God bless you all baseball fans.
Merry Christmas fans and my best wishes for a healthy and happy new year.
Merry Christmas.
Here's to a great holiday season to everyone.
Do we get a Christmas present from Cashman, or do we have to wait until after the new year.
Merry Christmas folks.
Merry Christmas.
Hope everyone gets what they want for the holidays and new year. Merry Christmas.
Shopping done, everything wrapped. Airport later to visit family. Merry Christmas everyone.
No news is good news. Merry Christmas.
To all WIN METHOD fans, the most knowledgeable baseball fans in the world, a very very Merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy New Year.
Seasons greetings.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and hoping for a successful Yankee new year in 2015.
Yanks trade Prado and Phelps to Marlins for starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, pitching prospect Domingo German, and first baseman/outfielder Garret Jones.
German may be the gem of the deal.
First day of winter. Merry Christmas.
More pieces are put together for 2015.
Merry Christmas.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a healthy happy New Year.
Merry Christmas.
Santa Claus is coming to town. Hope you've been good. Merry Christmas.
Yankees doing nice job resetting the lineup. Just as long as there is no afraud.
Happy Holidays.
Merry Christmas everyone.
To all a joyous Christmas and happy new year.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas baseball fans.
Merry Christmas. Go Yankees in 15.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
In two months spring training will be in full swing. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy new Year.
Merry Christmas and here's to a playoff New Year.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas
The very merriest of Christmas' to all.
Everyone, my best wishes for a very merry and joyous Christmas, and a very healthy and happy New Year.
All the best of the Christmas season to all.
It's Christmas Eve. Santas on his rounds. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and the happiest of holidays to all.
Merry Christmas all.
Shalom and Merry Christmas to everyone all over the world.
Santa came, Santa came.
Feliz Navadad.
Hi johnny. Hope you got what you wished for from Santa. I know you were good.
My best to everyone on this Christmas season, and a Happy New Year in 2015.
Hiroki Kuroda has told the Yankees that he will not pitch in MLB next season and has decided to return to his homeland, Japan.
Next year is just around the corner and we won't have to wait anymore.
I still think we need one more big time starter.
If Tanaka and CC can perform at top level that would be big. But I agree we do need someone like Scherzer.
Cashman with his best poker face, has said the Yankees are not in on Scherzer.
Don't forget Pineda guys. And then Nova by June.
Many question marks on the starters. Bullpen is fine.
If the Yanks feel comfortable with the pitchers they have and their rehab chances, they may not try for another starter.
If the injured come back healthy, this staff could be outstanding.
Getting Shields or Scherzer could be the move that pushes the Yankees over the top.
Yanks trade Shawn Kelley for 22 year old hard throwing Johnny Barbato.
Scherzer could make the season.
Want to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year and a playoff year for the Yankees.
Happy New Year.
Happy new year to you WIN METHOD. Thanks
Missed you WIN METHOD. Love ya,
Yes, Scherzer. Happy New Year.
Good news, it is going to be a great 2015.
From Times Square. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year 2015. Scherzer is a giant step towards the playoffs.
Happy New Year.
Seven weeks and baseball will be back.
The YANKEES have traded potential star pitcher Manny Banuelos to the Atlanta Braves for right hand pitcher David Carpenter and left handed pitcher Chasen Shreve. Carpenter could easily fill the gap created by the dealing of Phelps and Kelley by the YANKEES. Shreve will compete for spot in the YANKEE bullpen.
Lets see if Manny can even make it to the majors.
Great blog.
A little late but Happy New Year.
Nobody else has any idea on Scherzer.
Yankees seem to be getting stronger with each move they make.
We are looking good and I can't wait for spring training to start.
If anyone needs to see and learn how to build a brilliant blog website, I would suggest he/she visit this blog. Keep up the fastidious work.
Yankees and Drew are coming to terms on one year deal with incentives.
You can take Drew as a positive. With no spring training last season and then being thrown into the fray in mid season and floundering. Drew could be a very surprising asset to the Yankee team.
Scary. Just six more weeks till spring camp.
Just to get ready. Lets go Yankees.
How soon will it hit Yankee fans that there is no Jeter this season.
It would be nice to land Mocada also.
