There are many instances when I come to a blank in what I am going to write--kind of like slumps in baseball. Sort of like the slump the New York Yankees have been in the past several years following their World Series title in 2009.

Despite this "slump" you may call it, the Yankees are what took my mind from a blank to a whole world of ideas. Some might be confused as to how this 2016 season of ups and downs and insane roster moves has given me some light. Well, the light is coming from the up and coming players throughout the Yankee system.

As inconsistent as the Bronx Bombers have been, they have put together a string of wins that has kept them very much in the wild-card race in the American League. And somehow despite trading away two of the three-headed late inning studs from the bullpen--Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman--and Carlos Beltran, they have held their own. And they have the new and improved, young and powerful, newcomers to the Yankees organization to thank.

Not to mention all of this was going on during the whole debacle with Alex Rodriguez leaving the team all of the sudden.

I was watching the Yankees game against the Orioles over the weekend and the young phenom catcher Gary Sanchez was up to the plate. After thinking to myself about how unreal his stats have been along with the other young guys, it came to me. I said myself, 'If Sanchez gets a hit here I will write about the Yankees.' Sure enough, two pitches later Sanchez ropes an up and away fastball into the short porch bleachers in right field at Yankee Stadium. Sanchez' eleventh home run in fifteen games.

This sudden burst from Sanchez has made him the face of the Yankees the past couple weeks which has completely shadowed the talents of other new call-ups Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin. Just a couple weekends ago, Alex Rodriguez notified us of his release from the Yankees and after his final game on Friday night, the Yanks' organization figured they should make some changes.

The next day, there was a ceremony celebrating the twenty year anniversary of the 96' Yankees who won the World Series title. On this day we got to see the faces of all the men who were part of the start of another Yankees dynasty. After going through a rough patch throughout the 80's and early 90's, the Yankees found young blood in their system to bring up and help the team once and for all.

Some of these young players included the "Core Four" which included Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, and of course Mr. Derek Jeter. This group of men led the Yankees to take 4 World Series titles in 5 years, becoming one of the most dominant squads in franchise history.

So fast forward twenty years to where we honor these men on the day that the Yankees happened to give the start to two newcomers. Along with Gary Sanchez who didn't quite start his tear yet, Tyler Austin and Aaron Judge created one of the most memorable moments on a memorable day.

Austin and Judge hit back to back in the Pinstripe's lineup that day and on each of their first at-bats, magic happened. They both went yard and homered back to back in their first ever MLB chances at the plate.

So is this a flash forward to the years to come for the Yankees? Another core of young players who will create another dynasty and have the organization build around them? Maybe Sanchez, Austin, Judge, and a player like Greg Bird could steer the boat. Bird, who was out the entire 2016 season to injury had a better season than what was expected of him last year.

Plus, the Yankees have already seen improvement from young outfielder Aaron Hicks and the middle infield of Didi Gregorius and Starlin Castro seems to be a solid hold. Also, the trade that sent Chapman to the Cubs gave the Yankees the top prospect in their system. A nineteen-year-old stud shortstop Eloy Jimenez.

So despite all of the moves the Yankees made this summer that may have angered some fans, it seems as though it's part of a whole process by Brian Cashman and the rest of the organization to build on the young stars of the team. This allows the Yankees to also open up cap room once all the high paid veterans are gone which makes room to pick up some big ticket players from around the league.

So it's intriguing to see what's in store for the Bronx Bombers in the future but the looks of it now shows some light on what could be a remake of the late 90's teams. The beginning of another dynasty.
