    Top 10: Moves The Yankees Should Have Made

    Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

    Of course, when you have the benefit of hindsight, you can say what "should have been done."

    Also, I like #1. "Stay healthy" as if the Yankees have some real control over that.

    Oh, and yes, of course, they should've gotten rid of their best player.

    And how exactly would they have traded for Johan Santana AND C.C. or Harden AND Bay or Ramirez?

    This list is a joke.

    Well the EASIEST way to keep players healthy is to not play them so there would be nos risk of injury (unless ofcourse you are called David Wells & then you would have to add in a no bar/drinking rule)...do you think that strategy would have worked better ? (Joke on the article not you HGM°)

    I stopped at 7. Bay is NOT better than Nady. I'd say they're about the same.

    the yankees should have had joba in the rotation all year. That kid is honestly as good rich harden, he needs to start consistently.

    by the way, best moment in the article:
    "He bats .401 with 23 home runs when the bases are empty, but hits just .385 with 12 home runs when runners are in scoring position."

    WTF?!?! just .385?? lol

    I think it's safe to say that askmen.com is not the most reputable news source, especially for a list of this nature...

    Move number 1. Get out of the AL East. Since God started answering my prayers on the Red Sox, the Yankees have known nothing but humiliation.

    No. Bay's OPS+ 133...Nady's OPS+ 127

    Bay's a little faster. Strikes out more. What exactly am i missing here?

    Bay and Nady are about the same age, 29. nady had far and away his best season this year. Bay, for Bay, was normal. Career OPS+ : Bay 130, Nady 108. I would say that Bay has been clearly better.

    As far as ARod.....the stats cited make no sense whatsoever. He hit .302 in 2008. How could he possibly have hit .401 with the bases empty and also hit .385 with runners in scoring position? This has to be at least a couple of hundred at bats, so what is left to drag his average down to "just" .302? Did he hit .025 with a runner at first base?

    And last year Bay was horrible (for him)....I'm of the opinion what we saw of them this year is what we're likely to see for the next 4 years.

    As for Arod, that has to be some sort of misprint. Maybe the whole damn thing was tongue-in-cheek.
