If the Yankees could manage to get past a wild card game and into a playoff series, their opponents will be terrified of Betances, Miller and Chapman. They will be able to pitch every game with the off days and for 3 plus outs each in some cases. Teams did not fear Justin Wilson but Dellin Betances is a beast and in my opinion the best reliever in the game.

They have more team speed than anyteam in their division. Their weakness is getting length from their starting pitchers.

Their overall team defense is not very good, their hitting is erratic and they lack team speed overall. Most of their starters have a history of injuries. It is only in the bullpen where they truly shine. I do believe they will field a competitive team, one that wins more than it loses.

Yankees are losing money and fans by not paying the 20 to whatever penalty . the one time they spent money in the last 6 yrs. was a bust. beltran was old and always injure and Elsberry was always injured…. so 20 to 40 mil. compared to the 1/2 or billions the lost, whose kidding who?
