We're talking effing Lee.
Or, the Yankees are, anyway. Because it's all about pitching. And they know this.
They also know Jorge ain't a catcher no more. He's a DH. He was a DH last year. The quicker he comes to grips with this, the quicker he can get on with his career, extended by five to eight seasons.
He's the ideal DH for the Yankees, or any team really, but only the Yankees will pay the freight for him. Such is their curse.
Anyway, the pinstripers need more, reliable pitching, and a rotation of Sabathia, Lee, Pettitte, Burnett (the good version) and Phil Hughes is really more a video rotation. But, whatever. The Giants won the title with pitching, mostly home grown. The Yankees got bounced because they couldn't hit, couldn't pitch and got dinged up at the worst possible time.
The Yanks will dump some dead weight, and reload for next season with more golden bullets.
Also, Derek Jeter deserved the Golden Glove, so you haters can shut your faces. Six errors. Six. You're graded by the plays you make. He makes them.
