I love how people are like ZOMG Yankees lost Arod...destined to finish last in division for next 10 years.

charlie:
the yankees are an 84 win team without a-rod this year. don't give me any [censored] about 'oh they lost in 1st round who cares' - it's important. the yankees will have a very difficult time making up those wins.

Clemens, Desalvo, Wright, Henn, Moose, who else did we start that sucked balls..i know there were others.
We lose Clemens + Arod which is like 35-40 million.
Giambi comes off the books next year.
Hughes, Kennedy, Chamberlain..essentially rookies yes but thye have showed they can handle NYC..short of bugs. And they are far far more talented then what we had previously.
Add the Yanks aquiring thru trade or FO another solid starter/bullpen and I'll ride with that.
Only way Rivera or Posada leave NYC is if they decide they no longer want to wear pinstripes cuz no one will offer mor money to them then Yankees.
Yanks have already decided to pick up Abreu's option.
