IMO and I'm a Red Sox homer but the Yanks aren't much better than they were last year ..
1) Johnson is 67 years old eventually that's got catch up to him
2) Johnson has no cartiledge left in his knee, eventually that has to catch up to him
3) Brown was supposed to be the great veteran they were bringing in last year
4) Johnson has always been a bit of a crybaby .... what happens if he gets off to a slow start and starts getting booed.
5) Pavano is no different than Vazquez.
6) Jaret Wright will go back to being Jaret Wright without Leo Mazzone.
7) No team with A-Rod will ever have team chemistry and team chemistry is a far undervalued commodity.
8) while I admit the Yanks pitching staff may now be a little better than the Sox, their lineup is still not real close.
pitching edge - slightly Yankees
offense - decidedly Sox
defense - if Sox keep Mientky Sox, if the don't even
chemistry - if the Sox keep Millar, first round KO Sox, if not second round TKO Sox
Bitch and Cry - a team with Sheffield, A-punch my face in, Brown and Johnson .... if you filled the rest of the team with Tino clones it still wouldn't help. i have a feeling there will be at least 24 cabs outside Yankee stadium
