Rate the organization

Ed got me thinking about why I'm a bit disengaged this year. The process of developing young talent is always a bit of a trial, no matter how strong a fan one may be.

But that, I think, is really only part of the issue. I can live with a young group of players. However, we're also breaking in a new pair of owners and a new manager. The whole organization, in my view, is up in the air a bit. In fact, there's an argument to be made that the Yanks have the third best organization just in the AL East.

Curious what everybody else thinks...

the shadow knows

Hank is living in the Boss’ shadow
Joe G. is living in Joe T.’s shadow
The class of 08 is living in the class of 96’s shadow.
The old stadium is living in the shadow of the new stadium.

They all have to break out and be their own people (and/or stadium).

It will happen…and there will be growing pains along the way.

Growing Pains across the boards

Ownership, management, personnel are all growing into their roles. It takes patience (something few of us at PA have much of), and it takes understanding. I liken it to being a parent to kids. There’s times when you just love ‘em to death, and times when you want to drop them off at the bus station (I’ve only done that twice).

That said, I’m thrilled with the direction of team. Even if we don’t win this year.
