The Yankees just aren’t very good

Perhaps, Allen Barra is the only one who has figured out what plagues the Yankees this year. In short, they are not a very good ball club — aging on the mound where 40 percent of the rotation appears beyond its prime, another pitcher just doesn’t belong and another has no luck; barren at first and at DH; overrated and aging in the outfield; and managed by a man who has been asked to run a team that bears no resemblance to the kind of teams he does well with. In short, the Yankees need to blow things up and start over.
