It’s been an up and down week for the Yankees, as they took a series against the surprise contender White Sox but dropped their weekend series to the Reds scoring just three runs in their two losses. There were still plenty of highlights to point out, from Cam Schlittler dominating for another six innings of shutout ball with 13 strikeouts to further his early Cy Young case or Ben Rice clobbering another couple of balls to jump up to 22 homers on the year and moving him back up to fourth in MLB.
Now that we’re officially into summer though, it’s time to start getting serious about the team’s place in the standings and how to improve their chances of going the distance. The team sits in first place with a two-game lead over the Rays, but even if you believe that the gap should be a little wider based on the quality of their wins the fact of the matter is Tampa has been neck-and-neck with them thus far. Rumors of a Tarik Skubal all-in rental are floating, but would an absolutely overwhelming rotation solve the team’s issues in the lineup and bullpen? Are their prospects good enough to outbid the other teams seeking his services, and can they do anything else if they go that route? If you have questions like these, or anything else on your mind, send ‘em in for a chance to be featured in our Yankees mailbag.
Answers will run on Friday afternoon. All questions received by the night of June 25th will be considered. You can leave your submissions in the comment section below or by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
