Diary of a Yankees Fan #11
These Fan Mail Friday questions show the angst of Yankee fans. Most of the questions were about Aaron Boone. Amazingly, most fans are thinking the same things right now. They make for a good diary of a Yankees fan.
First, there was a long discussion of the Yankees’ three-in-a-row World Series victories. There was also a great deal of marveling at the 44-year return of the Brewers to the Series. There was a discussion about what life was like in the United States in 1982, with the top songs and the top movies.
Diary of a Yankees fan: The first question was whether Boone was terrible with roster construction and needs to go with Trent Grisham and Jazz Chisholm Jr. Who is going to play third base, and will the team give second base to Anthony Volpe? Ryan McMahon is under contract for one more year was the answer, and Anthony Volpe is probably going to play second base.
Unrelated, the team is probably going to give David Bednar the $23 million qualifying offer. Their second question was if the Yankees move on from Club Med Boone, who would be the replacement? Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake.
Do you think any former players might be the next manager? No. There is no chance media star Sabathia would want to take the reins. Girardi is too mean. Former Yankee catcher Jorge Posada is possible. Andy Pettitte.
Why do the Yankees say they are going to do it again? This attitude, they say, has trickled down from the top, and there is some blame for Yankee Captain Aaron Judge.
Will Aaron Boone get over 1,000 wins as Yankee Manager? He is at 790. The answer was that he will get fired before reaching 1,000 wins.
Does the Dodgers sweep hurt the argument that there should be a salary cap in baseball? No, the owners want a salary cap, period. The lockout will go through at least June. Do you think any big moves before the lockout on December 1? No, moves are usually not made before a work stoppage
Will things ever change???? No, they will not. Though, the four question marks were nice. There was then a question about ALCS and NLCS MVPs. This was the last question, diary of a Yankees fan.
Conclusion: We all Worry
It is clear from these questions that most true Yankee fans are thinking of the same things. They are all concerned with Aaron Boone, and they are very worried about a prospective lockout. There is also some question about roster construction and the thought that there will not be any moves before the collective bargaining agreement expires on 1 December. These questions make good fodder for the diary of a Yankees fan. At this point, Hal Stienbrenner, and the braintrust of the team must listen now to all the voices.
