Post Jeter Era, Year 1

By -
To this day I still remember where I was sitting when my dad called me to inform me that the great Derek Jeter was going to retire. I remember immediately buying memorabilia before the prices skyrocketed and I remember wondering how in the world were the New York Yankees going to survive without Derek Jeter? Without Captain Clutch? Without the captain who kept them all together? I was heartbroken even more so because I knew I would never be able to see him play shortstop again.

However now here we are just one short season after Derek Jeter left and just take a look at the standings. The Yankees are number one with a great chance of actually making it to the playoffs with the Red Sox all the way in last place (which is always nice to see).

Now the Yankees are not without their issues like continuously losing in extra innings which should not be happening. However it is nice to see that the team I know and love will not crumble without their Captain.

Now hopefully the Yankees can keep their place on top and make it back to the playoffs. I will never not miss watching Derek Jeter play, but I am glad to see the team I know and love so much play on and hopefully continue to be the powerhouse we all know they can be.

Five keys to a successful 2016

Being trapped inside for the last two days due to the snowstorm that pounded the entire eastern seaboard has only enhanced my desire for the return of baseball season. Considering all indications from ownership point to the Yankees being done for the most part as far as additions are concerned, I felt as if now would be a prompt time to make some early predictions about the 2016 season. As I look at the Yankees team as currently comprised, I'm feeling the same sense of uncertainty as I did at this point last season. A successful 2016 season is contingent on production from players who are either old, injury prone, or in some cases, a combination of both. Normally, this would seem to be a recipe for disaster, however I'm going to try the optimistic route. Below, are what I view as the five keys to a successful 2016. In my view, each of the five are equally important. Unfortunately, the Yankees need a lot to go right in order for them to return to the postseason. Having one posts
