6. Yankees. Javier Vazquez brings back some bad memories for Yankees fans, but he provides the rotation just the sort of solid, innings-eating No. 4 pitcher they needed, at little cost (Melky Cabrera plus a prospect). Defensively, they are should be better with Curtis Granderson in for Johnny Damon (though Damon's return remains a possibility, and if he does come back, Brett Gardner would go to the bench). For now, though, the Yankees are down two very clutch hitters (Damon and Hideki Matsui) and up one injury-prone on-base machine (Nick Johnson, who had a .426 OBP last year but has averaged 94 games a season in his career).The Rangers (7), Brewers (8), Cardinals (9) and Nationals (10) finished off his list.
I can't really argue with anything he said about the Yanks, although I'm not so sure about the other rankings. What do you think?
