However, he still has that Steinbrenner arrogance as evidenced by his unwillingness to concede to the Red Sox. I wonder who the interviewer's "favorite team" was before 2004. Drive 4-5 makes a good point about the Blue Jays. In Halladay, Burnett, Marcum and McGowan, they could have the best staff in baseball next year. Of course Halladay and Burnett get injured every year and the offense is average. Rolen is pretty anemic at the plate and the Big Hurt is 40, so the only guys who really scare you in that lineup are Rios and Wells. Their complementary hitters like Thomas, Hill (who's actually pretty good), Stairs and Rolen wouldn't even start for the Yankees. It’s nice to have another calm head at the top of the command chain.

With blog.38.com out of the picture, the Sox have qestion marks everywhere in their rotation except Beckett. Can the Red Sox bullpen pitch as well as they did last year? We all know that relievers are the most hard to predict of all players. The Yanks stack up very well against Boston. But folks should not discount Toronto. B J Ryan appears to be healthy and that can only help the team with the 2nd best AL ERA last year. Scott Rolen could be an upgrade over Troy Glaus if healthy. But Toronto's biggest concern is Vernon Wells' health. If Toronto is healthy, they are going to be tough.

It would be tempting to sell that." <B><I>Not if you know it would be worth 4 billion in 15 to 20 years. Yankees are the best sports investment there is. Why would they walk away from it. New stadium, more championships. It can only go up. Hank is right. We are World Series contenders. If we had the best second half record in the league last year and owned the Sox. Coming into this year, we dont have Pavano as our opening day starter. We're younger,deeper than last year. Why shouldnt we be contenders? “the Yankees are probably worth more than $2 billion.

I would consider Bud Selig's approach to the Mitchell report about as unprofessional as it gets. SJ

They had some very interesting offers to sell in the past 18 months. They turned all of them down. I think that makes it safe to say, at least for the foreseeable future, the Yankees will remain in the Steinbrenner Family. As long as the Boss is alive, they aren’t selling.
