I really like the moves before the trade deadline that the Yankees made. I think they definitely addressed most of their needs. They had to replace Posada and Matsui with both of them gone. They also added a lefty to the pen, which they needed. Wang not coming back when they thought he might hurts though. Starting pitching may be the weak link that prevents them from overtaking the Red Sox/Rays. I guess they're banking on somebody stepping up.
I'm not sure if it'll be enough to make it in though. They definitely improved their chances, but I think it's going to take more than the Yankees doing well. I think they're going to need help in the form of injuries or just a rough patch for the other teams. Tampa has never been here before though so I wouldn't be surprised to see them fade down the stretch. I don't see the Red Sox fading unless they get a couple injuries. Thoughts?
