The last couple years, they've had a lot of talent, but there was still some holes. Sheffield, arguably the best hitter in baseball taking over in RF for Mondesi and Brown taking over for Pettite are big improvements. Huge.

Sheffield, arguably the best hitter in baseball
Ouch...I think you're the only one I've ever heard say that. Sheffield is an above average hitter, but not the best. And his fielding is suspect. IMO, Vladimir would have been a better choice, who can flat out hit and has a cannon for an arm. I fear Steinbrenner is going after names and not talent.

I also believe Vasquez is an upgrade over Clemens, at this stage in their careers. I'm not a Yankee fan, but I certainly don't buy all the talk about their imminent demise. I would be a little concerned about not having a quality left-hander in the rotation, though, for potential match-up purposes in the post-season.

HOLES?!!!!!
Man, you guys are good at excuses.
Most of the teams would pay good money to have holes like the Skankees have.
Give us all a break!
