This is the hardest blog post I have ever done. The retirement of all time great and the best player in Major League Baseball for the past twenty seasons, Derek Jeter has hit me hard. The best player and one of the very first players drafted by Mr.S. (rip) and the YANKEES is gone and the hole he leaves offensively and defensively as the best shortstop in baseball is enormous. However, we must move on.
The YANKEES for 2015 will be fine and are reloading. With a very deep and talented starting rotation, albeit a starting rotation with much to prove, do not be surprised if this team performs far above expectations of the pundits and so called talking head experts. Didi Gregorius has been tabbed to replace Jeter at shortstop, which in reality can never be done. Didi needs to be himself, do what he does best and must not let the comparisons to Jeter get to him. Chase Headley has been given the third base position and that may be one of the best moves the YANKEES have made in the off season. The basic starting team will be McCann c. Teixeira 1b. Drew 2b. Headley 3b. Gregorius ss. Gardner lf. Elsbury cf. and Beltran rf. The YANKEES have a boatload of very promising minor leaguers, some of which who will undoubtedly be heard from over the 2015 season.
During the off season the YANKEES lost closer David Robertson, but have gotten better and deeper in the bullpen with the maturation of Betances and the signing of Miller. The closer spot has not been decided and possibly no one will be named. From start to finish the YANKEE pitching staff will be exemplary and carry the team a long way. The lineup on the other hand will have to come together and several players will have to step up their game over last seasons effort. The loss of Jeter, the leader, the captain, will leave a gaping hole that will have to filled by everyone in the lineup stepping up their performance.
Personally, I had an almost non-stop off season with interviews and evaluations. By my choice I am now on a year to year proprietary deal with the Steinbrenner sons. But they are not Mr.S. Hopefully, they will make the decisions that are best for the team, the fans, and winning.
I've noticed the stat frauds are almost non-existent here anymore. You guys and gals have done a great job beating them off, refuting and disproving their garbage man made formulas that are meaningless and useless. WINS and WINNING will always define the best players and teams. I will try to post more often this season and glad you are still here and growing the best baseball blog in the world, the WIN METHOD.
To conclude............LETS GO YANKEES.

Very well managed game by Girardi today. Six relievers getting the final 11 outs and none of them were extended and all are available tomorrow.

Another loss that could easily have been a win. Not playing WIN METHOD ball and not delivering when it counts.
The Yankees sure made this season interesting.
WIN METHOD fans. You all know about stat frauds and have heard the expression, "the dumbing down of America". Go to the NYY forum and go to the Yankee 2015 season discussion thread. Read pages 297-300. Some of the most ignorant and dumb comments I have ever read. WOW!
Michael Pineda today for us.
Are they for real Steve? What a bunch of jerks.
Hey Steve. You were polite by using 'dumbing down of America.' Scary.
Lets go Yankees. Checked the NYY site. Dumb, dumber, dumbest.
1st inning Yanks leave men on 2nd and 3rd. Posted on NYY a couple of years. Had to leave, the mentality there made me sick.
Yanks down 2-0 after 1. O's get hit with exact same situation where Yanks failed. Went to NYY forum. A couple of decent posters. The majority are idiots.
Yanks get 1 in 2nd but leave another runner in scoring position.
Yanks leave 2 more on in 4th.
O's get hits when it counts in 4th for a 5-1 lead.
Yankees down 7-4 after 7.
Astros lose.. Yanks have WC game at Stadium.
Yanks go down 9-4 but win home field for wild card game.
Can the Yankees turn on the spigot. Now is the time.
Preparing for the playoffs.
This is what Tanaka is here for. To win a game like tomorrows.
Steve....went to that forum. What a joke they are over there. I guess ignorance is bliss.
Lets go Yankees.
Tanaka needs to come up big and the lineup needs to score several runs. Something we have not seen in awhile.
CC not on playoff roster. CC turned himself in to an alcohol rehab center. Best wishes to CC and his family. Take care and get the help you need.
Hang tough CC and take care of yourself and your family.
Tanaka tomorrow for the win or go home game.
Big time game tonight. The pressure is on.
Unless a miracle happens the Yankees will have to play around afraud batting third in the lineup.
Off we go. afraud strikes out looking with runner in scoring position.
Down 1-0 after 2.
Yanks down 2-0 after 4. Batters doing nothing.
Yanks down 2-0 after 6.
One more time afraud fails miserably. Pops up to center with two men on to end rally and inning.
Down 3-0 after 7. Two more shots.
Now or never guys.
3-0 after 8. One more chance.
We really can't blame this on afraud. No one is doing a thing.
You can't win if you don't score.
afraud strikes out in ninth and looks pathetic beyond belief,
Game over. 3-0 loss.
Season over, wait till next year.
Looking back at 2015, the Yankees exceeded many expectations. They did so because their offense was quite productive, though not a powerhouse, and their pitching was reasonably effective overall. Over the course of the season, the number of runs they scored comfortably exceeded the number they allowed, and so the number of games they won was almost exactly what you'd expect. Unfortunately, the loss in the wild-card game prevented them from getting into a short series, where the "Win Method" logic of scoring at the right times can be applicable (though the probability is low).
Rodriguez naysayers should ask themselves whether the team would have had as good a record and advanced as far as it did without his offensive contributions over the course of the season.
Gregorius also deserves unbiased reviews for what he offers as a player: fine range and reasonably good offensive production. This was the most he's ever played in a season, and he still offers upside, aged only 25.
Yanks' scouting has had some nice payouts lately. Donny Rowland, international director, showed a good eye signing Severino. Area scout Steve Kmetko should get a hand for recommending Greg Bird, and Damon Oppenheimer for listening to Kmetko.
Can we have some more posts from the guy who runs this blog, please? I can't find anything since the one to introduce the season. All I see are a bunch of running comments, second guesses, and Sterling imitations. I'm having a hard time seeing the value besides being a rooting section. It's an electronic foam finger.
2016 is not that far off.

If afraud was not on the team the Yankees would have had a better W/L record. afraud is a liar, cheat and a cancer.
Gregorius has come a long way. WIN METHOD nailed it in this blog post. Didi is no Jeter offensively or defensively, but it was given the time to become his own man and has progressed very nicely although his production when it counts was poor. Production when it counts determines the best players and teams.
Mark, the scouts seek players and find countless numbers. Most don't get signed until WIN METHOD interviews them. Playing for the team is more important than playing for yourself.
The Yankees need to cut afraud for the good of the team. It's not my money but the hell with it.
