Maurice Setter once said, “Too many people miss the silver lining because they’re expecting gold.”
That would be the optimist’s way of looking at the 2014 New York Yankees, a team that has become synonymous with mediocrity.
After spending over $500 million this past offseason on an All-Star class of free agents that included Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann, Carlos Beltran and Masahiro Tanaka, the Yankees are all but officially out of the playoffs. Injuries have run rampant and the offense has sputtered through a season-long slump.
Without a doubt, it has been a failed season in the Bronx.
While it is tough to get over the letdown this season has been, there are in fact some silver linings to keep in mind.
Several Yankees went far beyond the mediocrity that surrounded them, giving fans something to look forward to as a miserable season plays out its final days.
