As surely as the Mets believe the magic of one more reliever will guarantee their success, because every lead will be final and lasting, so the Yankees surely believe that the key to their success is to steal from the team that knocked them out the year before, because surely anybody who beats them must be invincible, right? I don't know who you are, Mr. Tiger2012/FutureYankee. Will you be worthy to war the same socks as Jaret Wright, as Randy Johnson, as Johnny Damon? I don't know. I just hope you cost a bundle and pay out in pennies.

It's so MVP Delmon Young who killed them. He's a free agent, he plays the outfield. He's got some power and could easily smack 30 home runs (while walking fewer than that) in Yankee Stadium. I hope it's Young too, because he sucks.

They NEED pitching, and Verlander's untouchable. I'd think Fister would be a target, but he's barely arb-eligible, and way too cheap as yet for Detroit to surrender; with the exception of Granderson, the MFYs do seem more willing to take on salary than part with more valuable prospect-y parts. While I'm fairly certain that Fielder will wear pinstripes at some point (age-36 season, as PH)... come on down, Ol' Split Eyes?

Valverde could be the new arsonist in the mfy pen.

Peralta - a shortstop with range and power. Later

A ton of these guys are under 30, and a championship this year could lead to more. But the Yankees will soon need a shorty and would probably get something like a sure thing to replace Jeter than put a rookie on the spot. Peralta also has a cool name. He's my guy.
