My 1st Post: State of the Yankees

With another season gone in disappointment the Yankees are looking at a very steady pace downhill if they dont act. The core 4 should probably renamed the 4corpses by now... Jeter never had any range in the field and definitely doesnt have anymore. posada looks like he may need some more oil for his knees because every time he gets behind the plate he has to sit out another 2 games- although good ol' MO is still the BEST CLOSER in baseball u gotta wonder how many more cut fastballs and splitters he really has left in the tank.Pettite is done so why waste time... however probably the biggest prob right now on this team has gotta be A-rod. without his steroids he just cant seem to stay healthy or productive. if 272 million can buy u a 30 homerun hitter who is at his best when it only comes to saving his stats, then id say to the Steinbrenners and $man get a new proffession. maybe the mlb should decide that u can have 3 dh's in the AL instead of 1 because if any1 can find another way of getting posada and a-rod into that lineup should become the new gm- now about braces man- its nice to see that he wanted to stay in NY and not bolt for the Cubbies, but do we really care if he did? if id sum him up in 1 word it would be questionable. just about every move he has made since getting here has been controversial. plus he blew this past post season: with men in scoring position he decides to walk david murphy to pitch against molina with burnett! what was he expecting? molina 1.has killed the yankees throughout his career 2.in the same situation the night before he had a big hit 3. aj burnett was pitching! aj can only get the ball over the plate if he gets lucky why would u let him pitch in the biggest at bat of the season?

right now the yankees must begin to build a new core around Cano. Sabathia and Texeira are nice pieces along with Hughes gardner and granderson but there is a lot of work to do. now as any good yankees fan ought to be i got my wish list for santa steinbrenner this yankees: i want cliff lee and jason werth and maybe carl crawford-also give kerry woods a new 3 year deal and sponsor the marlins pay roll for this year in exchange for hanley ramirez- is that too much 2 ask 4?
