I am well over 70 and have seen many of the greatest Yankees from back in the 1940's up to this day. And have had trouble understanding some of the fans of this day and age...You are spoiled! May goodness we haven't been to the playoffs in three years...fire the manager and GM!
I have seen or heard (radio) 18 of the 27 WS wins and also the great depression of 1960s and 1980s those years we won very little at all.
The times have changed, the team can no longer buy the WS win as they have done in the past.
One must build a dynasty like they had in the 1940s 1950s, one does that by making good trades and bringing up the kids...you know, guys like Joe "D", Whitey Ford, Yogi, Elli Howard, Stottlemyre, Rizzuto, Guidry, Munson, Mattingly and one of the greatest of them all Mickey Mantle. Well, let's say Mantle and A-Rod are two of the greatest Yankees of the last 65 years.
So, let me say this; Give Cashman and (I hate to say this) Hal time to try it the new way...the way Cashman has been trying to do for years. Build the farm system and use the players as homegrown players and trade the players for missing pieces we need.
These next three years are the turning point for this team and the whole system itself.
We have players with potential ready and willing to come to the Bigs. There are a plethora of pitchers and International signings are going to start lighting it up this year.
