Re: A.L. & N.L. MVP award
Lets see losing in the first round or choking and not making the playoffs. I think I'd still take losing in the first round compared to choking again. I think it's funny you guys think losing in the first round is worst then having yet another choke in your teams history.

Re: A.L. & N.L. MVP award
Red Sox were a little snake bit this past year while the Yankees got lucky with Colon, Garcia & Nova.
Another year, another year older for Jeter & ARod. Can't expect another year from Granderson as he has not shown to be that player consistently. Tex will be solid in this lineup from May- Sept. On any other team, his power output wouldn't mean as much given his avg. & OPS. Cano should be terrific again. Outside of CC, where can the Yankees be confident with their staff?
Yankees are not a great team & definitely not built for the playoffs anymore. I know the postseason is unpredictable, but HR happy teams with weak starting pitching rarely win.
Jusy my 2¢ worth less than that...

Why can't Ivan Nova be as good as last year or even Garcia. Referring to nova, superstars have to be born somewhere. So what says he wont be as good as this year next year and many years to come.
Plus the Yankees several young arms that can come up and be good. So I think we're good. Plus when Jeter is done, we have Nunez to take over. Everyone acts like the Yankees are only filled with 35 plus year olds.

Yanks and Sox both are getting old and suck anyway (as a Jays fan that is tired of seeing his team battling the beasts of the east every year, I have a right to be frustrated.
Jays if they can get some more pitching, Rays and even O's willmset the new tone for the east next season.

If Toronto was is another division, they'd be a playoff team more often than not
Nova may be good again - and he was good, not great - but my point was, he was unexpected. I don't think you can "rely" on Colon and Garcia.
Nunez?? Really?? When did he become the second coming of Jose Reyes?? Stop overrating your players - see Gardner, etc.
And the Yankee pitchers in the minor leagues may still be another 1-2 years away and Yanks don't have patience for young pitchers that struggle, so you better hope they're good right away
