Reasons Why the Yankees won't have Multiple Dominant Years

Top Yankee Prospect Gary Sanchez

      Now don't get me wrong I am a huge Yankee fan, but with their current club there are a couple reasons why the Yankees will not have the asserted dominance that they used to have.

      The biggest reason of all is that their farm system is very weak. For once the Yankees need to stop being crowd pleasers and invest their money in their own players. The Yankees are to worried with their insane crowd of taking a dip for a couple seasons so they can make their own talent, and because of their lack for prospects they must keep pursuing top free agents and going over the $189 million mark. What happened to their great system that brought up players like the great Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, and as much as I don't like him Robinson Cano. Now their best prospect is Gary Sanchez and as good as he is he is ranked 27 in MLB prospects. They need to grow their own talent not only so they can improve from within but be able to trade for players such as David Price and Elvis Andrus.

     The other big problems is their entire pitching staff. Their current starting is very flimsy, CC Sabathia had a terrible 2013, you don't know what you are get out of him in the 2014 season. Hiroki Kuroda had a good first half, but completely fell apart in the second half. Personally I like Kuroda but he is not worth what they gave him. They signed a 40 year old pitcher to a 1 year $16 million contract. They need to stop overpaying their players, Matt Garza or Ubaldo Jimenez would have costed less than that. Especially since Kuroda is running out of gas. he will most likely retire before the season ends. Also their bullpen, one of the weakest in baseball, now sure they have David Robertson one of the best set-up men in baseball but what about their closer? Also the rest of their bullpen, most of their relievers have over a 4.00 ERA. These problems need to be fixed.
