Yes WIN METHOD fans, you have spoken, therefore the title of this blog post. BLOOM AND GROW. As 2016 nears its end, and the baseball winter meetings are held where deals are talked about and some consummated, and as the 2016 year concludes with the Christmas holidays, and the new 2017 year arrives and it will be a season for the New York YANKEES to BLOOM AND GROW.
After a couple of recent seasons of not making the playoffs, getting older as a team, disappointing the fans, dropping attendance, and overall down years, the YANKEES look like they may be going full bore at getting younger with many of their WIN METHOD selected youngsters being given a real chance to make the major league roster, make the team younger, make the team a contender more consistently and winning the World Series again. Time for the farm to bloom and grow.
The list of YANKEE prospects is very promising. Likely not all will make the major leagues, some may be traded away for a piece the YANKEE decision makers feel they need for a certain position. The best part however is they will all get the chance to bloom and grow and some will make a major impact on the YANKEE team this 2017 season as Gary Sanchez has done already in the last seven weeks of the 2016 season, apparently earning the starting catcher job for the 2017 season. Look for these names in 2017 and beyond, outfielders Clint Frazier, Aaron Judge, Blake Rutherford, Dustin Fowler, Billy McKinney, Mason Williams, Jake Cave, Trey Amburgery, and Leonardo Molina. Infielders Gleyber Torres, Jorge Mateo, Miguel Andujar, Wilkerman Garcia, Tyler Wade, Hoy Jun Park, and Kyle Holder. Catchers Luis Torrens, and Donny Sands. Pitchers Justus Sheffield, Domingo Acevedo, James Kaprielian, Albert Abreu, Dillon Tate, Chance Adams, Ian Clarkin, Drew Finley, Jordan Montgomery, Chad Green, Dietrich Enns, and Freicer Perez.
Do not forget, Greg Bird returning in 2017 after missing 2016 with major shoulder surgery, other youngsters who have been placed on the 40 man roster or have seen some major league experience, Johnny Barbato, Richard Bleier, Giovanny Gallegos, Domingo German, Nick Goody, Ben Heller, Ronald Herrera, Johnaton Holder, Brian Mitchell, Yefrey Ramirez, Luis Severino, Kyle Higashioka, Rob Refsnyder and Tyler Austin. There are so many with so much potential.
Some of these guys will become big names, some lesser names but yet accomplished major leaguers, some roll players that help make the team as best it can be,and some dealt away. Bloom and grow. We wish them all healthy and fruitful careers wherever their career takes them.
Also, look forward to a very special day in 2017. Mark your calendars, Sunday, mothers day, May 14th against the Houston Astros, the YANKEES will retire the greatest ever WIN METHOD players number 2 Derek Jeter. May the YANKEES be so blesses that as the youngsters bloom and grow we have another in the mold of Derek Jeter, the best and greatest major league baseball player in the past three decades.
Never forget that wins and winning always defines the best players and teams in the real world while individual stats and make believe made up formulas created by the foolish stat frauds are only for their fantasy games and fantasy world.
LETS GO YANKEES! BLOOM AND GROW

1 – 200 of 1611 Newer› Newest»Thank you WIN METHOD for the best and most positive sports blog in the world. Love ya,
Lets go Yankees.
Yes, 2017 looks very promising.
A lot of youngsters are looking good and are turning heads.
Love the info about Derek Jeer on May 14.
Next season is going to be big for the Yankees.
I forgot the 't' in Jeter. Sorry.
So far so good.
A strong positive outlook by someone who knows baseball and has a great record of being right.
Hear hear Steve.
Thanks for the 'bloom and grow' WIN METHOD.
Bloom and grow. That is exactly what the 2017 Yankees are going to do.
As everyone who is WIN METHOD knows, we will bloom and grow with wins.
Wins is the fertilizer.
The playoffs the bouquet.
One step forward at a time. Bloom and grow.
Wins is the fertilizer.
The playoffs the bouquet.
And the World Series the show winner.
I see everyone is in a good mood. Lets go Yankees.
Augie DeFonce, Everyone should be in a great mood. Much has gone well this fall.
There sure is a whole lot of wheeling and dealing at the winter meetings. Cashman has kept his powder dry so far.
Many teams seem to be desperately dealing while we bloom and grow.
Aroldis Chapman has said he will sign with the Yankees.
That's great.
WIN METHOD beats everyone again on Chapman signing.
All hail WIN METHOD. The man in the know first.
Nice WIN METHOD.
You're the best WIN METHOD. Love ya,
With the signing of Chapman it gives me the impression that the Yankees are all in for 2017 and beyond as they bloom and grow.
Solid bullpen and getting stronger. Thanks WIN METHOD.
What a great buy Chapman is. We deal him for solid prospects and then resign him for what we would have had to pay him anyway. Brilliant dealing by Cashman.
Another first for WIN METHOD. The best there is.
While the stat frauds play fantasy games among themselves, WIN METHOD fans know first in the real world.
I just hope one or two of WIN METHODs young pitchers can excel quickly and help lead this 2017 team to the promised land.
Lets go Yankees. Show the way WIN METHOD.
Elizabeth Kalavsky, WIN METHOD always does. Leader of the pack.
Slowly but surely the pieces are being put in place.
Victor Grandozi, and they look like winning pieces.
I have been to countless Yankee forums and blogs. Most I would rate as Ds or Fs. There are a couple of Cs, but this blog is A+. The number one blog I have ever read and or participated in.
WIN METHOD has been leading the Yankee decisions for a very long time now and his selections and advice have led to the Yankee successes for decades now.
Having Chapman in the fold is great. My regret is the five years, but if that is the only way to sign someone you want then that has to be decided only by the guys who sign the checks.
The stat frauds have no one like WIN METHOD. They have guys that convolute formulas so they can play fantasy baseball. The sad part is they think their fake stats determine winners and winning. Just more dumbing down of America.
I like getting Chapman. I like The retiring of Derek Jeters number. I like the youth movement. I like the Yankees.
muchomachoman, the stat frauds have liars and frauds and an ignorant following.
No question whatsoever. The finest baseball and Yankee blog in existence.
Before spring training. Right now Yankee starting lineup:
Sanchez c
Bird 1b
Castro 2b
Headley 3b
Gregorius ss
Gardner lf
Ellsbury cf
Judge rf
Holiday 2b
Very well balanced L/R. Good power and speed.
For any skeptics out there, WIN METHOD has called signings before anyone else, talking heads, radio, television, forums, and blogs far too many times to not have inside information from the source itself.
yankeeclipper21, Looks about right barring any deals, injuries, or someone getting beat out of their job.
Going to be a fun spring training. I wonder if Betances has learned to throw to first base yet?
Come on spring training. Lets go yankees.
Gus Pappas, Betances needs to hold men on also. Concentration and the ability to do two things at once. Hold men on and throw strikes.
Well at least Betances doesn't have to worry about the closing spot.
With Warren, Clippard, Betances, and Chapman the Yanks have a deep strong bullpen. Add on a couple of others who win a spot and it will be time to rock and roll.
Just one or two effective starters to make the rotation and we are set.
Lets roll! Lets go Yankees.
Cashman has been doing a bang up job.
Yes it is almost time to bloom and grow.
My first post here. Just left a Yankee forum. Won't mention their name, but this blog is much better and far less filled with idiots.
Welcome Yankeelover. If you believe in wins and winning you are in the right place.
yankeeclipper21, that is not a bad lineup.
Yankeelover, please post often and enjoy the most positive most winningest blog in baseball.
Thanks guys. I just got fed up with the constant bickering and stupid stats all the time. I believe only winning decides who is best.
Lets see if Cashman has something up his sleeve.
As long as it improves the team, fine.
I just hope the Yankees don't give away any of our special prospects for a pitcher that we probably have better in house.
There is no reason that one or two of our young oitchers can't crack the rotation this spring.
Montgomery, Mitchell, Severino, Kaprielian, Adams, Green, etc.
Heck, we could have a whole rookie starting staff.
Yankeelover, not a bad idea.
Two weeks until Christmas. Merry Christmas.
We contend big time next season. Bloom and grow.
Wayne Littlebear, Your etc. can include Littell and Shefield.
These guys better come to spring training roaring and ready or they will get left in the dust of the performers who want it most.
Might the youngins light a fire under some of the veterans?
Cole/NJ.....sad to say but the veterans with their contracts don't usually lose their jobs and sit on the bench. If a team feels a rookie is ready they usually deal their veteran player. Like the Yankees feeling Sanchez is now their catcher and dealing McCann.
Tony Manchu, agree, but their is always a chance of a major injury to a veteran creating an opening for a rookie.
Bloom and grow with positive vibes WIN METHOD fans.
I wonder where Rob Refsnyder fits in with this team?
With so many quality youngsters this team is very deep.
Victor B.....Refsnyder may be in a tough spot this spring. His edge may be having ML experience and the Yankees may want the rookies to play everyday in minors.
Lets go Yankees.
Refsynder may not be good enough to earn a position except maybe utility guy if that.
Wouldn't it be nice to win the whole ball of wax next season.
Patricia Piper, and the season after that.
Merry Christmas fans.
I am really looking forward to the 2017 Yankee season.
The Yankees signed infielder Reuben Tejada to a who cares minor league contract.
When the rookies advance to the majors they will need someone to play in the minors.
Merry Christmas to all.
Hicks is an enigma. Lets see what happens to him this spring.
Many questions will be answered this spring.
Vladimir...Yes, questions will be answered and in a good way.
With a tough year under his belt, Louie Louie hopefully has matured and win a starting rotation spot.
Louie Louie will face competition. Put up or shut up time is nearing.
Your performance guys will determine how fast and whether or not you will be a major leaguer.
Christmas is getting closer, as is the new year, and then spring training.
Merry Christmas to all.
Wouldn't it be great if Louie Louie has the season we expected this past season.
As spring and baseball arrive we WILL BLOOM AND GROW and win.
Let it all hang out Augie.
Merry Christmas friends.
I am more anxious and optimistic for 2017 than ever.
Hope we are not over expecting.
WIN METHOD is making the Yankees great again.
Yes we can and yes we will. Lets go Yankees. Merry Christmas WIN METHOD fans.
All my kids are getting Yankee shirts for Christmas.
Deb F....great gift. That is bringing them up right and showing them the way.
Winter meetings are over and the Yankees came away with a gem and gave up nothing but $$$.
White Knight.. Yes, we solidified the bullpen again. We upgraded at catcher with Sanchez. And then there is a boatload of rookies chomping at the bit.
As long as we come up with a couple of starting pitchers that are effective, we will be fine.
Guy P.....we will have many starters to choose from.
Merry Christmas Yankee fans.
Ten days to Christmas. Shop till you drop. Merry Christmas.
As one of the fast food chains claims. The Yankees have the meat.
The goal is to win it all.
Everyone have a merry and joyous Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year.
Joy to the world the Yankees are going to be a force to reckon with.
For the Yankees the winter baseball meetings were a resounding success.
The Yanks are slowly blooming and growing.
Merry Christmas to all, even the stat frauds, may they see the light of WIN METHOD.
Two months and it will be time to crank up the baseball talk. Merry Christmas.
This is my take on Jorge Mateo. He's just going through some growing pains. He has to learn how to be a professional and go out there and compete everyday and once he gets that to go along with his tools he's going to be an exceptional player.

Did you steal that out of this article bigbadwolf?!
bigbadwolf...that could possibly be said for any very young player. The ones that mature well could be said to bloom and grow. The others can be quality, but of a lesser grade and so on down the line to the ones that wither and rot on the vine.
Stanley Chin, very nice response.
Bobby, it looks like Denbo and bigbadwolf are on the same wavelength.
Haha ok, it was taken word for word out of the article. He pretty clearly took it right from there.
Ha Ha Ho Ho! You must surely be a stat fraud schmoe.
Bobby must be a big time reader of the WIN METHOD blog, since he was so quick to comment on the bigbadwolf comment. Very demonstrable of stat fruads and their ilk.
I wonder if Bobby was so quick to notice that WIN METHOD was first in the world to post Chapman signing with the Yankees, and yet wouldn't acknowledge.
Nick Goody has been DFA,d.
Uh okay, pretty odd responses. Don't really care all that much just thought it was fairly obvious it was taken from there.
You guys are a fun group!
Bobby, Hope you believe that wins and winning determine the best teams and players in baseball.
When you see the quality of the players the Yankees have had to depart with for various reasons you can see just how good the team is going to be in 2017.
One week to Christmas weekend. Get your shopping done. Merry Christmas.
It was sure nice to see that Chapman wanted to sign with the Yankees. That is always a plus for a team.
Just think about this. The Yankees signed Reuben Tejada ex Mets shortstop to a minor league deal. He started for the Mets.
I am so glad I came to this site. Merry Christmas to all WIN METHOD and Yankee fans.
We are glad you are here Yankeelover.
Lets bloom and grow baby. Oh yeah. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all the great Yankee and WIN METHOD fans. Each one of you knows more about baseball than a barrel of stat frauds.
One week and it will be Christmas Day. Merry Christmas everyone.
Just two months and camp 2017 is rolling.
The season can't start soon enough. I've got high hopes.
Lets go Yankees.
Last week to shop. Merry Christmas to all Yankee fans.
Everyone have the most Merry of Christmas's and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
Just bought and shipped my last gift on line a few minutes ago. All done. Merry Christmas.
2017 is the time to bloom and grow to a championship.
All peaceful on Yankee front. So far so good. Cashman has done well in not giving away anyone and obtaining Chapman.
Lets assume no changes. Possible opening day projected lineup.
Ellsbury cf
Gardner lf
Sanchez c
Bird 1b
Holliday dh
Castro 2b
Gregorius ss
Judge rf
Headley 3b
Guy Padikian, I would think that the lineup could be adjusted for right or left handed pitcher and ball park.
That lineup has a four player turnover.
If you want to right handed lineup you can go Hicks in the outfield and Austin at first base.
And there is always Refsynder.
Looks like a good enough team to compete for the division and five the kids one more year to bloom and grow.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Getting a couple of solid reliable starters from the kids may be the key to the season.
Victor Bruno, I think you are right. And I would rather go with our youngsters than trade for some other teams castoff.
Me too guys. Go with our own. There will be a gem or two in the crop.
If you trade away chips for a player for now, the future slips away.
Merry Christmas to all my fiends and all posters here at the WIN METHOD blog.
I can't find another blog or forum with as many nice people as there are here and so many acknowledging so many holidays.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
We are the best in the world.
And the WIN METHOD blog is also blooming and growing every day.
You can plant the same seeds in the same soil but the flowers do not all bloom and grow at the same rate.
Sounds like our minor leaguers will be blooming for a couple or several seasons.
Tim, hope so.
Four days to Christmas and I wish everyone here and the families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. May everyone get what they need and want for Christmas and the New Year. My one wish is for the 2017 Yankee team and players to BLOOM AND GROW beyond everyones expectations.
2017 the year for bloom and grow.
My best for this holiday season to everyone at WIN METHOD.
Lets bloom and grow while others wither on the vine.
My favorite rookie is Blake Rutherford. Lets go and bloom and grow.
Merry Christmas to WIN METHOD and all his followers and baseball friends. Love ya,
shopping time is getting shorter by the minute. Merry Christmas.
The good is as each day passes we get closer to baseball.
Three more days to Christmas and another day closer to baseball. Merry Christmas.
OK, as soon as the first of the new year passes it will be time for all Yankee players to kick their physical and mental regimens into high gear to be ready for spring training.
KevMac......then during spring training, everyone starts to bloom and grow.
To all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas fans.
Love this blog and all the fans here. Merry Christmas everyone.
There is talk of Tanaka opting out of his contract after this season. The talk is from stat frauds who know little to nothing. Tanaka will stay a Yankee.
Stat frauds leave a bad taste in my mouth, something like sour milk. Yuck!
Stat frauds seem to like to make imaginary trades in their little minds. They have no idea what they are talking about, they have no influence, and they know nothing in general. I wish them all for Christmas the wisdom to see the light of wins, winning, and the WIN METHOD.
Merry Christmas......to all WIN METHOD fans.
We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thanks guys and likewise here. Merry Christmas and lets try for a championship new year.
Merry Christmas to all at WIN METHOD.
Merry Christmas to all those who have made this site the best in the baseball world. Truth, facts, wisdom, and integrity.
Merry Christmas to all posters here and Merry Christmas to the entire Yankee family.
Steve, great post. Nailed it.
Looking for a huge 2017 season and making the Yankees great again. Merry Christmas everyone.
Everyone, if you are traveling for the holiday, have safe travels. And Merry Christmas.
Bloom and grow is our goal.
Chapman was a solid addition. Chapman loved New York and wanted to play here. Wanting to play here and being able to perform are true WIN METHOD.
Yes, Merry Christmas to all and to all a Happy and Healthy 2017.
Just 2 days left and only one more to shop. Good luck last minute shoppers. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to the all so many outstanding posters here at WIN METHOD.
Joy to the world, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Christmas Day is almost here. Merry Christmas to all.
Feliz Navidad.
Merry Christmas. Lets go Yankees.
Merry Christmas to the greatest Yankee fans in the world. Wins and winning.
