How Confident Are You in the Yankees Management?

I can understand why Montero is still in the minor leagues. I want him up in the majors splitting time with Martin while Cervelli goes to AAA and gets himself straightened out so he can be a sufficient backup to Montero next season. That would be what I would do, but it’s not going to happen and Cash wants Montero to get consistent ABs in AAA. I get that.

But the promoting of mop-up men has to stop. How Girardi has managed to make this bullpen one of the best in the league (statistically) is beyond me. But I’m so tired off all these mop up guys pitching important innings. Ayala has actually been decent, and Boone Logan isn’t going anywhere seeing as he’s the only lefty and had a decent year last year. He needs to get himself straightened out somehow or the Yankees need another lefty reliever. But the other guys not named Mariano and Robertson need to go. Pendleton, Carlyle, Marquez, Sanit and all the other guys that the Yankees have used shouldn’t even be in the major leagues.

I do like Hector Noesi though- I think he can develop into an Aceves-like reliever for the Yankees this year and can actually be very valuable if given the chance.

The Yankees hottest hitter/best player to get on base/best defensive left fielder is still somehow being platoon’d for Hacky McLazyass, as well as asked to bunt when he is hitting so well & getting on base & is not good at bunting.

I trust that makes my feelings on the matter clear.

but…until it ain’t true, we’re still basically in first place. No management squad is perfect, but whatever they’ve done its kept us contending which is unlike that other team from NY.

Maybe these decisions that we all think are so easy to make are ones they’ve thought of, but internally they feel the timing isn’t right or whatever. Maybe they’re winning in spite of incompetence and that’ll bite them in the ass later. I dunno.

At some point we need to see if any of our AAA seeds are bearing MLB fruit. Love Cervelli’s attitude, but I want to know if Montero is for real. Bring the kid up and let him DH, and catch. Martin isn’t right and Cervelli is really a AAAA catcher. If not Montero, Romine … I don’t care.

As for the pitchers, I like Noesi. Girardi needs to keep using the kid because I think he’s got rotation stuff. But I don’t want to see Gordon, or Carlyle … Bring up Wordkamper and some of these kids who are performing at the AAA level. See if they bear fruit ala Cano, Gardner, Nova.

All criticisms are baseless.

It amazes me that we can’t just call up someone like Kontos or Wordekemper, both of whom have been very successful in AAA but aren’t really prospects any more due to their age.

The Yankees continue to ignore players that are showing promise in AAA such as George Kontos, Adam Warren, and Eric Wordekemper, and instead promote players like Buddy Carlyle.

Hmmmm….
