Teen's Eye View on The New York Yankees

So far this MLB Season, I have been fairly impressed with the entire league. From veterans like Mariano Rivera playing like they did when they were in their prime, to young guns like Trout, Harper and Posey who are ready to become the faces of their franchises, this has been a season to love. But to me, the New York Yankees have impressed me the most. The success the Yankees have had with the lineup they have been using came out of no where. The Yankees have been using this lineup for the most part. Brett Gardner CF, Robinson Cano 2B, Vernon Wells LF, Travis Hafner DH, Lyle Overbay 1B, Brennan Boesch or Ichiro Suzuki RF, David Adams 3B, Reid Brignac or Jayson Nix SS, and Austin Romine Catcher. When you break down this lineup, you come up with four players who were on the Yankees roster last year, with only Robinson Cano playing more than 100 games with the Yankees. Three of the players are Rookies, with the rest of the team as once big name players a few years out of their prime. But, the Yankee magic has touched all of them, and the Yankees have managed to win 30 games, and stay close to first in the AL East, arguably one of the toughest divisions to play in with the Red Sox, Blue Jays, Rays, and Orioles. To be honest, as a Yankee fan, I wasn't expecting this kind of season out of this lineup. I was expecting maybe 20 wins, and hoping for the regulars in Jeter, Texeira, Granderson and Rodriguez to heat up fast and bring the Yankees back into the pennant hunt. But it is obvious that this success wouldn't be possible without Robinson Cano, who in my mind, should win MLB MVP for the way he has carried this team. He leads the team in every single offensive statistic there is for this team, and is dancing around the .300 BA with a .292. If the Yankees keep things going the way they are, I easily predict a division title. I also predict the regulars to come back, and put up big numbers, especially Texeira. I just hope the rag tag team doesn't start to run out of gas, and lose the success that that they have created. That's the Teen's Eye View on the Yankees.

This is my blog. Here, I will provide a different angle on the sports world then most people. The world of sports, through the eyes of a 14 year old. I will try to be consistent in when I post, and I will try to do one or two posts per week. Be prepared for some sports from a whole different perspective.
