The possibilities of a new World Series York-New York
A series where the advantage of playing at home is nothing, and the sky is the limit in talent between the two series is a dream world in New York, especially since these two teams have acquired new staduims incredibly expensive. Whether you love them or hate them, you can not denied that both the Yankees and Mets are two teams loaded with talent. Although both teams have an abundance of talent, or have passed the division cycle in the playoffs in the past 2 years. You can account for the Mets collapse in September last two seasons, the Bug Bowl at Cleveland in 2007, which in turn, the tide of the Indians (who later lost to Red Sox in the ALCS) and the highest shelves in '08. This year, general manager Brian Cashman (an appropriate name for the Yankees) and Omar Minaya has tried to ensure that their teams are in the lead, but the Yankees have proven time and again, money doen't always buy championships. Then these two theselves teams will raise and save back on top?
The season started with a lot of talent in the pool, and the Yankees and the Mets were determined to acquire as much as they could afford, which was more than anyone had imagined. The Yankees started Start by signing up Sabbathia SP CC a 7yr. $ 160 MIL contract, which was quickly followed by the signature # 2 SP AJ Burnett to 5 years. / MIL 82.5 million deal. Having spent 242.5 million on two MIL launchers, guarenteeing dominant rotation, the Yankees thought they had just spent about 180 million more than when sighned # 1 FA general Mark Teixeira to an 8yr. / Treat MIL $ 180, just beating the rival Sox slugger for the 1B (do not worry no Sox, resigned after Youk). Since then, however, the Yankees have not made anything important in the pool, just a few sessions dedications here and there, but GM has already spent $ 422.5 MIL on 3 players. Although I disagree with shopping, and I agree that the Spree is irresponsible, but you can not deny that Cashman is determined to put his team on top. Only time will tell whether the expenditure will rewarded.
Last year, Johan Santana was this year Sabbathia DC. The Mets acquired him in a trade, however, not free agency, and more Later, re-signed with the Mets 150.75 MIL dollars, which was then the largest contract ever signed by a pitcher. It was a great success in '08, but there bullpen problems, when he was 7 wins blown by the bullpen, which may well be credited 90% of its collapse in the last two years. This year, Omar Minaya determined to solve this problem, first giving interim manager Jerry Manuel, who took Willie Randolph was fired in Los Angeles after a loss against the Angels. Minaya then focused on fixing the bullpen by signing saves record holder Francisco Rodriguez CL (K-Rod) to 3 years. / MIL 37000000 contract to replace CL Billy Wagner, who injured his elbow in the final of the season during the '09 season. Then the Mets trade of talented young sailors CL JJ Putz in a 3-way agreement with the Mariners and Indians. Enders hope these games will help the Mets to avoid another collapse. The Mets are not done right. They offer in the SP Oliver Perez, and is expected to offer Randy Wolfe SP Ben Sheets SP or reject an offer if Perez. The help of the rotation of the Mets, who just lost MSF including Orlando Hernandez, Scott and Spot Showenweis SP, Aaron Hielman.The Mets have to prove themselves by beating the Phillies World Series of Defence.
Comparison List:
Mets:
- C-Brian Schnider Schnider = C is a veteran who can be a bit beyond his prime, but reveals itself as a leader in the locker room. A good player in place, but probably needs an update if possible. Do not expect C or C Jason Varitek Ivan "Pudge" Rodruguez come here as a late signing. If the Mets get a C, this will be a young C few years in him.
- Carlos Delgado-1B = Delgado is another veteran presence to many who thought that was until last season, earning the kind of numbers the race, looks back at the end of their careers. Delgado proved last year that still has some years left in him, and he can stay healthy. However, the Mets hope to start searching 1B replacement for the next 3-5 years, at least to serve as a backup for now in case damage to the vet.
- 2B Luis Castillo, Mets Most Castillo = stuck with him. They planned to buy him and signing a New 2B. However, the 2B has attracted no interest, and Food did not find a replacement. The Mets signed UTIL Alex Cora, but is likely to start.
- 3B-David Wright = As much as I hate the Mets, I can not find words to describe this talented young 3B. It is a great overally 3B, and is a young leader of this Mets team. If he can follow the large statistics has been launched, the Mets are putting in the work place.
- SS-Jose Reyes = Another talented young player for the Mets. The threat to basic flight and the main defensive SS to help the Mets in the offensive and defensive game.
- LF-Daniel Murphy / Fernando Tatis LF = This tandem, although mostly unknown, has the raw talent for. Tatis, who is coming off a big comeback season, play against the lefty, and Murphy, who hit .313 in 131 at-bats. Murphy is young and mostly unproven. However, he will get most of the time game. If it comes into force, will be an added advantage in the Mets already strong lineup.
- CF-Carlos Beltran = Beltrán, another triple threat with the bat, a glove, and speed. He is a veteran of the list in all aspects of the game and another great season.
- RF = Ryan Church Church been a very good acquisition at the beginning of last season. Church, a player largely underestimated, in general, is a bat well with a pretty good glove. The only The Mets have a problem with the Church is that it is a concussion-prone little. Received two concussions in the last season and also suffered from syndrome post-concussion for almost a month. Hopefully in 30 years. Old RF remain healthy enough to be an impact player.
Weaknesses:
C – Although a player should not affect too much to the Mets, they need to find a better C the onset of next season.
Castillo and 2B – The Mets are not in good condition now, but it is the only player to have to start this post now. The tension between the organization and a player can cause problems clubhouse, and more to do things. However, Murphy should be OK, while playing his game
RF – RF is not a problem, as the church stays healthy.
Yankees:
- C-Jorge Posada Posada = missed the last third of the season after season ending shoulder surgery. It will be interesting to see what the vet. be able to do after surgery. Posada is aging and Americans may need to start looking for a replacement, a Mabey Jerrod Saltalamacchia. Posada to have as a leader is a good thing, but I doubt it's as effective as it was in the past.
- -1B Mark Teixeira = Coming from an incredible year, its appearance in the playoffs first, and an incredible contract, Teixeira will learn to adapt to life in New York. I will warn fans of New York now, Teixeira is a slow start, but ends up larger. Do not start hard on him, give him a month. It should continue to produce a number amazing and it was a great advantage.
- Robinson Cano 2B = 2B Cano is a good break away from a bad year. It is very likely to put up better numbers last year, but it will not be in the same way it was in during the 2007 season. If Cano does not improve their numbers, the Yankees may decide to go in another direction in that position.
- 3B-Alex Rodriguez 3B = Good tool sitting position. A-Rod can not play well enough to impress fans of the Yankees, but is impressive in my book. A-Rod, while he says.
- SS Derek Jeter = I hate the Yankees, but I love Derek Jeter. It's a great defensive SS is a good man # 2 in the line-up. Jeter, with his tools is a great leader and will always impress. Although aging, expect to retire Yankees starting point SS.
- LF-Johnny Damon Damon = after being moved from its initial position and shun CF for the Yankees is a need in the position of the season LF. It is not amazing or anything. However, Damon is reliable with a stick that has a very good number of good decent in most of his career. This year is no execption.
- CF – Brett Garnder = Garnder receive approval numbers are not stellar CF Melky after last season. Garnder, with only 42 games under his belt will be an interesting expirement CF at all. A rookie facing U.S. pressure could lead to complications, but Gardner is a bit like Daniel Murphy Mets.
- RF – Xavier Nady Nady's nose = OF/1B Nick Swisher for the post of RF. Nady is a player who is one hitter pure. Not exactly a power hitter, but has some pop in his bat. Nady however, can not be a Yankee on the opening day will be somthing to see. The Yankees were openly Nady trade and Swisher, due to the excess of the SFO.
Weaknesses:
C – Jorge is a veteran leader, but is aging and is not as good as it once was. The Yankees may be looking for a new C Young to play the role of backup Jerrod Saltalamacchia.
2B – Cano struggled last season, and will not return to its highest level this season. Yankee fans must be patient with Cano and going back to 2B leadership that once was.
DE – The Yankees have a decent amount of SFM. They really are not going to man the emergency department. In fact, they have a rookie of erectile dysfunction. The Yankees could be unreliable. It's really the only weak point of Yankees.
The comparison of the rotation:
Mets:
- 1. Johan Santana = Santana has been a season of Last aquires. He had 7 wins blown by the bullpen, and now that the bullpen has improved so much as a, s # expect much better from the dominant left-handed.
- 2. John Maine = Although the Mets are strong in the lineup and bullpen, they are not strong in the rotation, could be the Achille heel of this team. John Maine is a decent pitcher, but a pitcher in the league in aces. He will win some games and eat some innings, but not be a Johan Santana.
- 3. Mike Pelfry = Pelfry is another ace pitcher in the league. As Pelfry, eat sleeves and get some victories, but I doubt it will emerge as an ace, but he is young.
- 4. Oliver Perez / Randy Wolfe / Ben Sheets = Mets have said they will sign another beginning. None of these guys that makes the material for example, but you can eat when health sleeves. Oliver Perez is the main objective, and have already offered to 3 years. face. If it moves Perez, the Mets probably will focus on Wolfe.
- 5. Tim Redding Redding = aquisiton was to fill the No. 5 spot in the rotation. It has not necessarily proven to be a good MS, but you can not untalented blame around. The Mets are better than the Nats, then it must improve statistics.
Yankees:
- 1. CC Sabbathia = Newly acquired as surely thrive in the city of New cycle York, New York. One of the many aces in the rotation will help the Yankees climb on top as long as everyone stays healthy.
- 2. = AJ Burnett have also recently acquired The New York must also develop, as he stays healthy, which is its only downfall.
- 3. Wang Chien-Ming Wang = is an ace. While still healthy, which will become a hole 3, which is usually reserved for pitchers decent, not aces.
- 4. Joba Joba Chamberlain = expirience but not yet demonstrated last year when he played as a pitcher when healthy Calibur. As long as you stay healthy, to be held against the second half of roations other equipment.
- 5. Phil Hughes = Hughes is the only non-Yankee pitching ace from these, however, can be an ace. He is still young and have not really tested. Hughes is really expirimental at number 5 of this Article, the Yankees may be afford to do b / c of their first four pitchers.
Drug notable relief:
Mets:
- Francisco Rodriguez (K-Rod) = has been purchased to help the Mets to their problem collapse. This record will do well with a team that loves the end of the game for any reason. We expect this to grow closer with a talented team.
- JJ Putz = Putz was acquired as insurance to help K-Rod save the situation. Putz will be many rounds of serving as the paper setting.
Yankees:
- Mariano Rivera Rivera = always a good addition. Is the impact player the bullpen. There must be opprotunities many because the Yankees pitching staff incredible.
Opportunities:
Yankees:
- round of division: 70%
- American League: 35%
- World Series: 17.5%
- World Series Win: 8.75%
Mets:
- Divisional Round: 28.33%
- CLN: 14.17%
- World Series: 7.09%
- Winning the World Series: 3.55%
Headset:
- Opportunities to play each other: 0.3%
Note: The figures are based on a formula and are not necessarily accurate. Do not get angry about the numbers.
Overall:
Well it is unlikely that it would be interesting series to say the least. I know most of the fans and Mets Yankees fans see that. It is possible, but it is baseball, any anything can happen.
