30 Teams in 30 Days continues with, the Yankees. Unfortunately, my "excitement" over covering a team I really don't care for doesn't translate onto print. Nonetheless, I have to talk about the Yankees and I intend to do it well. The Yankees did not make many major off season acquisitions but did manage to acquire Rafael Soriano, Russell Martin, and some other pitchers. Plus they signed several minor league deals with several pitchers. And who can forget that the Yankees resigned Derek Jeter? Why they did that, I do not know, but I do know that Jeter is not what he once was and the Yankees are just wasting their money. Another thing the Yankees did not manage to do this off season was successfully sign Cliff Lee. It was speculated that Lee would either stay with the Rangers or go to the Yankees, but the Yankees came up short. Maybe it was because Yankee fans spit on Lee's wife. The Yankees finished second in the AL East and were a game behind the Rays. They clinched the AL Wild Card, made it to the ALCS and lost to the Rangers. But enough about the 2010 season, in 2011, the Yankees will probably finish 3rd in the AL East and miss the playoffs. Sorry Yankees fans, but it's the truth. The Yankees lost their amazing pitching that they had in 2009, which then led them to the World Series. But now it is up to C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett to take them back to the post season. C.C. will probably turn town $92 million and leave the Yankees after this year, and may even sign with the Phillies. Who knows? I did some research and found out that if C.C. does leave the Yankees, that will free up $92 million that the Yankees can then offer to Albert Pujols. Let's hope that trade does not happen. Anyway Yankees, I may not like you, but I do respect your team. Good luck to the Yankees in 2011 in the AL East.

30 Teams in 30 Days: New York Yankees (Day 4)
