shef and matsui are essentially off the team. granted, the yanks have 15 other powerhouses, but thats a significant loss. 60+ homers, 200+ runs batted in. any number of seasoned-veteran-only clutch basehits.
mo is hurt and jeter is hurt, which makes these current games pretty difficult. for example, i think its a pretty safe bet that mo woulda closed the game and completed the sweep yesterday.
don't gemme wrong, i actually prefer yanks using their farm and minor league systems moreso than the imports.
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.
