The Yankees will have to consider improvements because they have fallen behind so many teams in overall talent. They have also decided to feature internal development which has a history of including a few but important trade and free agent acquisitions. Also and this is really strange the yankees may need to move minor league talent to make room for ...minor league talent. AAA Pennsylvania will have a rotation that is NYC bound: Hughes, Sanchez, Ohlendorf, Clippard all project to be with the big club with Wang to form an all-farm rotation that would be competitive even ion the AL East.
They have Cano, Cabrera, Sardinho and Tabata to add to the prior generation of Jeter, Matsui, Damon, and Miranda who could be a big star for years to come. Now the opportunities: Andruw Jones. Miguel Cabrera, Johan Santana, Joe Mauer, and Houston Street. The no1 is Cabrera and 2 is Mauer Santana no. 3. Cabrera is clutch and he is the ARod we never saw in NY. Mauer is a catcher, a plus defender who can hit. Street could replace Rivera--somewhat. The odd thing is that the Yankees have enough talent in their system to acquire these guys by trade: Pavano, great young arms: Beam, Chamberlain, Betances, White, Britton, and position talent Brett Gardner can be a star, Duncan can hit, Gonzales a great SS-- they can do these..it will be fun to see if any of these future marquee players get turned into today's marquee players.
