THERE'S A BIG P.R. "FARM PUSH" TO MAKE YOU FORGET HOW BAD THIS YANKEES TEAM IS

Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain!  In fact, don't forget that the Yankee team is literally limping to the finish line of this season... wounded, battered, tired, and mismanaged.  

Look, it doesn't help that the Rays beat the Yankees in this past series.  In fact, it's awful, but we all knew that was gonna happen.  It's just the way this season's going.  I'm mad. I'm annoyed, but I was around when the Yankees sucked in the early 90's and I survived just fine. 

I love the Yankees. I hate mismanagement and that's what we're seeing right now.  And you know what? It happens in cycles... and it's happening again and the only way to fix it honestly is by growing the farm system with a small batch of guys that play well together that can come up, mix in with some veterans, be managed by a true leader and win.  That's how it's done. 

That's how it was done in 1996 and that's how it continued to work. But then... players get old, players retire and if you're not doing your job in the front office... new players are drafted poorly and only a few stand out. But, until you get that core group in the farm system, you really only have a few good players and that sucks. That's what we have on the farm.

But the Yankees have a huge image problem with their pro team and it's been exposed over the last few weeks.  The Yankees P.R. machine thinks you can be fooled.  That's why in recent days you're seeing a whole lot of stories about their farm system just in time for September.  Guys like Jasson Dominguez who is on a tear right now in Scranton.  Guys like Spencer Jones, "The next, lefty Aaron Judge".  I mean, are we kidding here? Am I the only one that sees this as a rouse?  

Look, I celebrate the kids. I know those 2 are great, but why are they suddenly stealing all the headlines just in time for a Yankees collapse?  

You see what I'm saying?  The Yankee kids are going to be great, I'm excited about it, I just hate the gaslighting and redirection.  The Yankees need to address the White Elephant in the room.  That Elephant is big and fat and slow and injured and pissing everybody off!  So I say address it and THEN talk about how these guys are our future... AFTER THE SEASON! Take your lumps! Literally every authority figure in the Yankees front office has blown it, including Cashman, Boone and a handful of players that have forgotten how to work counts and play real baseball. And those coaches? Inexperience killed this Yankees team!

But back to the Yankees P.R. Machine trying to fool everyone.  The Yankees are continually losing right? But check it out, read this from Clutchpoints. The worst part is puppet Aaron Boone who's in on it too:  

"Domingues has gone 11 for 23 with two doubles, a triple, 10 runs batted in and four walks, according to Conor Foley of The Times-Tribune. Yankees manager Aaron Boone raved about Dominguez when asked about him, which fuels speculation about a call up to the big leagues in September.

“I think he’s going to be a really good player,” Aaron Boone said, via Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. “He’s a really special talent.”

And suddenly Spencer Jones is getting a boatload of press... and good for him.  The New York Post has this:

"Has Aaron Judge’s mere existence led the Yankees to their next Aaron Judge? The Yankees and Spencer Jones likely hope so.

Jones, the 6-foot-6 center fielder who acknowledged he has heard “a lot” of comparisons to the Yankees’ 6-7 superstar, is a rarity as a towering baseball player who spends his time in the outfield and not on the mound."

Look, I cannot wait to see these kids come up, but the timing is ridiculously obvious.  Honestly, I just want this season over. It's sad and tired and we need to regroup, fire a few people and figure out how to restructure this club. And yes, the most important thing in my mind is to figure out how to rebuild our farm system.  We really need new blood, new direction and new energy.

OK, I'm done bitching.  

Go Yanks!
