Generally speaking hitters do not do as well in MLB as AAA. A hitter will not necessarily do better against more strikes (working the count and drawing walks are productive), and the key is how tough those strikes are more than that they’re strikes.
If AAA pitchers were more effective than MLB pitchers someone probably would have caught on by now. Either they’d call up the AAA Ps in place of the MLB guys or if it were as easy as throwing more balls they’d tell their MLB guys to do so.
How about: Continue to mismanage drafting and the farm system so that there is never any hope of promoting a pitcher or position player and we have to go out and spend big money on free agents? And, please, don’t tell me about Jeter, Posada, Mo, etc. We’ve been hearing about the same “can’t miss” pitching and catching prospects for 5 or 6 years now and have yet to see any of them produce.
“Surely one of you will come up with the name of the next Yankees outfielder, and please, don’t give me Giancarlo Stanton or Raul Ibañez. The former is not leaving Miami, and while the latter might be back at Yankee Stadium in 2013, it will be as what the club originally intended him to be, a right-handed hitting DH.”
Fail. BIG fail. This guy should watch a game or two. Perhaps then he will see that Ibanez is, in fact, a lefty. Facts and proper grammar are becoming extinct in the world of journalism. Too many clowns, not enough reality.

5. Setup a fake Facebook account and mess with Cashman, Catfish style.

Hal should have listened to me or the Old Man instead of the dreck they teach you at UF School of Business.

You forgot:
Allow rest of American League to improve so that there will be greater demand for tickets when they visit Yankee Stadium.

The Secret to Nomaas’ “Success:”
1. Regurgitate the same shit over, and over, and over, and over, and over…
2. Post new Photoshop material once a week with no comedic value whatsoever.
3. Cue comments impersonating Brett Pedrioa, Randy Levine, Mike Francesa, and every RAB writer and commenter ever.
4. Lumps
It doesn’t get much better than this site.
Ted Nelson December 18, 2012 18:43

what about my tits?
Sensitive RAB Guy December 19, 2012 11:46
Actually, NoMaas can’t take credit for the RAB impersonations. I’m prob directly responsible for at least 3 cease & desist letters. NoMaas = pussies.
The Lumps are kinda gay, though
