Under the Bleachers: Why Yanks can't win


Under the Bleachers: Why Yanks can't win
Welcome to Under the Bleachers, where the best MLB writers from Bleacher Report give their unique take on the latest action.

Pitching Without Asterisks

When the dust finally settles on the last 20 years of MLB history, how will we rate the era's pitchers? When all is said and done, the list could read "Maddux, Clemens, Glavine ... " (four days of reading names later) " ... and Hideki Irabu."

Why the Yankees Can't Win

The Yankees look stacked on paper, but after the loss of A-Rod for a few months, are they really locks in a tough AL East? A Sox fan puts together 26 reasons why the Bronx Bombers won't win a 26th World Series, and no, it's not just a list of 26 enormous sandwiches CC Sabathia will be eating in the dugout this season.

We Don't Need No Stinking A-Rod

A Yankees fan counters with the argument that in baseball, it's the team, not the individuals, that matter. If this theory is true, let's put it to the test by replacing A-Rod with a tried-and-true Yankee third baseman who's definitely got what it takes to win a title. Somebody get Scott Brosius' agent on the phone, pronto.

Grading Ruben

Ruben Amaro Jr. is wrapping up his first offseason as the Phillies' GM, so how did he do? Sure, the Raul Ibanez signing looks like an even worse value after the free-agent market died, but Amaro did get rid of Adam Eaton. That alone should get him a five-year grace period with Philly fans. Then again, they might miss having such a reliable target for their boos.

Desperately Seeking Answers

Questions abound as the new MLB season looms, from whether or not Travis Hafner is toast to whether the Brew Crew's rotation can win to "Do you think I could buy a Bud Selig wig somewhere? If I could pair that with a wrinkled navy blazer, I'd have a killer Halloween costume."
