True GM, back again

The message is simple: Shut up and win. No more excuses. Don’t look at the Red Sox, the division is over. Concentrate on winning and wild card contention will come with that.

First, we need to solve a few things:

Bullpen — DFA Kyle Farnsworth and Ron Villone, Call-up Edwar Ramirez, Chris Britton and Sean Henn. This will give the Yankees better pitchers and younger pitchers. Ed is 26, Sean is 26 and Chris is 24. 

Damon — To make room for one of the relievers, we can DL Johnny Damon. It needs to be done, he can barely swing a bat.

1B — I don’t want to trade any prospects for a 1B. I would rather send down Chris Basak, Call-up Shelly Duncan, who is hitting .300 / .388 / .584 at AAA, and have Andy Phillips and Shelly Duncan platoon with Phillips as the defensive replacement.

These moves and getting a new back up catcher should get the Yanks back on track to getting better and younger as we make a wild card run and go into this off-season.
