Quarter pole.

Yankees in first place, on pace for 100+ wins.

Most people have been proven wrong so far, few people are willing to admit it:

"When I walked into the Yankees clubhouse Tuesday afternoon, they were not last in the AL East. They were first, tied with Texas for the league’s best record.

On one level, I was baffled. No Derek Jeter. No Alex Rodriguez. No Mark Teixeira. Until Tuesday, no Curtis Granderson, either. According to research by STATS LLC, they have the second-oldest roster in the majors and the second-most days lost to the disabled list. That should portend disaster.

Nope. Despite the ad hoc lineups, the long-term questions hovering over Jeter and A-Rod, and the division’s perpetual competitiveness, the Yankees’ excellence remains unassailable."


I'm not sure if it's because the Pinstripes are transformative, I just think the players they lost were overrated and the players they got are underrated.
