How can anybody even still believe in the "Battle of New York"?
Much less a "Battle of Young Players in New York"?
But something is amiss when the discussion excludes Joba Chamberlain. Who is the best young player in the major leagues:
"So this game was yet another reminder that - forecasts to the contrary - the Mets' young players are outdoing their Yankee counterparts in 2008. That is among the reasons the Mets are in first place and the New York Yankees are barely hanging in the wild-card race."
This is definitely true. The Yankee young players have been mostly awful.
But let's lay off on Daniel Murphy's 50 at-bats, huh? Robinson Cano hit .342 a couple of years ago. Homer Bush hit .380 in 1998. Kevin Maas was Babe Ruth for his first 100 at-bats.
Then, the pitchers adjusted.
