Comments on: Can Girardi find the right mix? http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2010/02/06/can-girardi-find-the-right-mix/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:55:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Manunited2512 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2010/02/06/can-girardi-find-the-right-mix/comment-page-4/#comment-1230178 Manunited2512 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 06:09:39 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/?p=22873#comment-1230178 It can definately be said that its a managers job to find the right mix. I agree and then I side in disagreement more. I say this because the whole entire blog wasn't even about Girardi within the team locker room mix. Yes, he may have a say so in the majority of decisions made. However, like this blog states, it was Damon who wasn't afraid to voice what needed to be done in desperate times. Damon was a voice of reason and as many had forgotten a veteran as well. I personally believe someone will step up to the plate as he did and I truely feel that someone always will. I wouldn't be suprised to see Jeter take that role. Afterall, he is the Yankee captain. :Follow me on: http://yankeeography2512.blogspot.com/ It can definately be said that its a managers job to find the right mix.

The St. Louis Cardinals would have to win 17 straight World Championships (highly unlikely) just to break even with the Yankees while during that 17-year span the Yankees were not to win a championship, also highly unlikely. Boston would need a 3-peat just to break even with St. Louis. Unless my math is wrong, the Yankees have had 6 repeats, three 3-peats, one 4-peat, and one 5-peat.

The Saints are such a compelling story, but I really like Peyton Manning. I think the Colts win, but it is close.

I suspect you're right. Giambi and Damon were Swisher before they came to NY and both toned it down to fit into what they thought was acceptable. I'm a big believer that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Whether or not Alex changed one bit this year, ownership, management and key members of the team made an effort to be part of the solution. All inclusive, no sacred cows and willing to make the team theirs. There was respect for but a subtle movement away from the "Dynasty Yankees" this year that allowed the clubhouse to exhale and start building their own legacy. The fact that CC, Tex and Alex did the talk show tour for Hope Week instead of Derek, Jorge and Mo was more than a coincidence IMO. “I suspect that a player with the enthusiasm of Nick Swisher would not have been a fit in a Torre clubhouse.”
