The New York Yankees have played nearly two-thirds of their 2012 season. It's still too early to make a definitive judgment, but certainly late enough to ask some legitimate questions about what they've done so far and what they are likely to do between now and the end of the World Series.
And some of the most legitimate questions are the ones I hear on a weekly basis in our Yankees live chat. Every Wednesday, I get a chance to answer those questions to the best of my ability.
This week, with a day off and what should be a soft landing spot for the weekend, three games against the Seattle Mariners at home, it feels like a good opportunity for me to ask the questions, and you to answer them. (I, of course, will give my opinion as well, for two reasons: I get paid to do it, and frankly, I can't help myself.)
The idea is, you read the questions and answers and then offer your opinions in the comments section below. Got it?
