    Jeter and Arod are the only 2 starting position players over 31.

    both grandy and swisher have to be getting up there ... maybe it's perception ... but between rivera, posada, jeter, burnett, colon, garcia ... it feels like the team is old ...

    Swishers contract is up after this year and they have a $13mil option on Granderson for '13. Rivera can go forever. Posada is gone and being replaced with a 21 year old and Colon also won't be coming back. I can see Freddy getting another contract though.

    They have some key players that are getting up there, no doubt, and they have some young players.

    It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.

    Granderson's rookie year was 2006...He's got a long career ahead of him. I just wish it was here. :cry:

    Statement from Hal:
    "I'd like to thank our great fans for their support throughout the entire 2011 season. We shared a number of memorable moments, including Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera's historic achievements, while earning the right to play in the postseason for the sixteenth time in the last seventeen years.

    "I personally share in our fans' disappointment that this season has ended without a championship. That is, and always will be, our singular goal every season. I assure you that this disappointment will strengthen our resolve to field a team in 2012 that can bring a twenty-eighth championship to the Bronx. That work starts now.

    "We played a very talented team in the Detroit Tigers and they deserve to play in the American League Championship Series. I congratulate Mike Ilitch, Dave Dombrowski, Jim Leyland and the entire Tigers organization. Their team has given the city of Detroit something to be very proud of."
    Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

    :lol::lol: Yanks will be fine. Gotta figure out some pitching this offseason which is going to be tough on a very thin market but assuming Cashman comes back, he will get it done.

    They have a very good core and one picther could be huge. Bullpen is stacked. Lineup is strong and going to get bounce back years next year. They will be fine. No major major changes needed.

    Yeah, I couldn't figure it out yesterday and have no idea how to get it back. Going to take me an hour to change it again.
