Ken Davidoff Is Stunned By The Yankees Success So Far This Season

Ken Davidoff is a baseball columnist for the New York Post.

Ken joined Ed and Steve to talk about the Orioles vs Yankees series starting tomorrow night.

Steve asked Ken about his thoughts on the Yankees sitting atop the Al East at this point in the season, "I had them in third place with a losing record, I am stunned." Ken believes the reason for the Yanks success has been the play of sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira who are playing their best baseball since 2009.

Steve asked Ken about where Buck Showalter ranks among the best managers in the MLB right now. Ken believes Buck is "top five for sure, Buck is amazing." He also noted that Buck has made a lot of improvement in his managing since his tenure with the Texas Rangers.

Ken continued talking about who he thinks will win the AL east as well as the relationship between Orioles third baseman Manny Machado and Yankees DH Alex Rodriguez. Ken also touched on Pete Rose who he believes can no longer be trusted after recent evidence of his gambling on baseball games has surfaced.
