OUR ONLY HOPE

We've reached this point, haven't we? Broken down players, injury, losses, smiles in the dugout like everything's great, a bad manager and a horrendous General Manager that set us up for this. What's the fix? Call up the kids I guess.

Look, I am for literally ANYTHING to fix this Yankees season.  What I don't want however is for the kids to come up, we almost make the playoffs and at the end of the season Hal stands up and declares "We salvaged the season almost making the playoffs and Boone and Cashman are safe." If that were to happen, I would be angry.  And so right this second, the prospects the Yankees call up are our only hope. Sad. I'm happy for them, but sad that it's come to this.

"According to multiple reports, the Yankees are calling up top outfield prospect Everson Pereira along with Oswald Peraza. Jack Curry of the YES Network was the first to report the transaction.

Pereira, 22, in currently enjoying an excellent season in minor-league baseball. In 46 games with Class AA Somerset Patriots, he hit .291 with 10 homers, 31 RBI and a .362 on-base percentage. After moving up to Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pereira boasted a .312 batting average, 8 homers, 33 RBI and a .386 on-base percentage.

Peraza has struggled in his 19 games with the Yankees this season, hitting .173 with zero homers and 6 RBI."

And so, we cross our fingers to win a few games, but if you're like me, we root just enough and not overdo it to make Boone and Cashman's job remain.  I firmly believe we need some changes at the top.  As far as the players we have, they haven't done much, there is no way Hal will cut them loose and eat and contract and we all know Cashman is not the guy to make a quick fix to better the team, that ship has said. And so, we are limping through the season once again, it sucks, but predictable knowing Cashman's track record.

I wish Periera and Peraza well. I believe they can jolt this team... it's just too bad it's come to this.
