Yankees, BCS, and coaching changes

This is my first blog, and I decided to start one simply because I really enjoy sports and always have a strong opinion about them. I am not a journalist by any means, I am just a fan who thinks he knows more than he actually does. So let's jump right in.

Yankees:

Three things the Yankees have done this off season makes sense: signing Brian McCann, not over paying Cano, and getting Kuroda to not retire. I am okay with the Ellsbury signing because you take arguably one of the best players on your rival's team, and put him in your outfield. However, he is a slightly better Brett Gardner. So now you have two 30+ year old outfielders who are contact hitters and depend on their speed. Then the signing of Carlos Beltran baffled me, this is the Yankees outfield now: Gardner, Ellsbury, Alfonso Soriano, Ichiro, and Beltran. So now you have five decently paid outfielders for 3 spots and a DH. Also, only two of those players can play any defense, Ellsbury and Gardner. But I guess in that ballpark for ants, if its a fly ball its a home run. If Tanaka isn't available for the Yankees to sign they will not be any better than last year, the offense has potential if Ellsbury and Gardner get on base and Beltran defies age for another season. However the rotation is not good. CC is the top of the line starter and he wasn't what he was a couple of years ago. Nova could be another solid starter but I wan't to see another good year first.
But after the Beltran signing I wanted to put my name out for the GM of the Yankees, I will have more logical signings and will take a tenth of the salary Cashman gets. (I want to mention that I despise the Yankees and am a Twins fan so I may not be the guy for job.)

BCS:

I keep hearing that should Auburn win then they should jump Ohio St, and play in the National Championship game. Why? Is this because the SEC has won the last 7 NC games? If this is the case then we are taking past seasons into consideration, then if that is the case Ohio St was undefeated last year as well! No team has beaten them in two years, which is more impressive than a win over Alabama. (Alabama lost a game in both of their last 2 NC seasons, Urban Meyer has yet to lose at OSU.) So in my opinion no matter the score of the big ten championship game, if OSU wins they should play in the NC game.

Coaching Changes:

I want to applaud Washington, their coach left them for another school and then they hired a better coach. Coach Petersen has been mentioned in every major coaching vacancy since he ran the statue of liberty against Oklahoma. In all speculation, I think he wanted to stay in the west and go to a school where the media scrutiny isn't that tough. He waited for what he thought was the best fit and now is going to be in a BCS conference (if the Big 12 adds Boise St then Petersen stays, which they should have.) His former defensive coordinator is already employed by Washington and his former offensive coordinator just got fired from Florida, coincidence? I think not. I am going to say it right now Washington won this break up and I think Petersen will have more success that Sark at USC.
