I just don't see the New York Yankees going to the playoffs this year. From Derek Jeter, to Mark Texiera, to Curtis Granderson, to Alex Rodriguez; this team has been too overcome with injuries to be a serious playoff contender in the 2nd half. Their lack of depth and consistency has been shocking.
Manny Machado is without a doubt my favorite player to watch in the game today. He's a superstar who should eclipse the all time record for doubles in a season sometime in late September.
If I were the Baltimore Orioles, I would do whatever I had to do to get Matt Garza from the Chicago Cubs. I think he would be a great fit in Baltimore.
