but, cabrera, phillips, long, cairo... just doesn't have the same punch as the team predicted to score 1,000 runs, "with ease" -- and it'll just take all that much longer to have them operate as a team if the roster keeps changing.
I agree with you. I'd rather see a Yankee team based on free agency AND strong development than just free agency. Thing is, none of those names strike fear into the hearts of opponents (unless they confuse Melky with Miguel...), which has always been an x-factor in New York's favor - you look at the opposing line-up, then see who's pitching, and pray that your team somehow survives the series. The loss of Sheff and Matsui, the injuries to Damon and Jeter, and the patchwork starting staff hurt that mystique. still, the Yankees are a dangerous team...
they are definitely still dangerous and they should finish 1 or 2 in the East. I actually am enjoying watching this team play......they have become very gritty and that will serve them well if they are to go far in October.
I just hope the Red Sox sweep the Tigers and then the Blue Jays do the same afterwards. People from Detroit don't deserve to be happy.
