While many teams are trying to figure out if they can even compete in 2010, the New York Yankees are looking to load the roster and get another ring. One of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball is back on top and they are not looking to give up the throne anytime soon. They will once again be favored in a loaded American League East, but teams will be gunning for them more than ever now.
The 2009 season was one of the best runs that we have seen a team go on. They crushed the opposition during the regular season and did pretty much the same thing once the post season arrived. The series against Philadelphia was exciting, but there never seemed to be a doubt as to who would win. The starters held down that potent lineup and pitched into the 7th inning almost every game, and we all know who gets the call after that.
You have to love the Yankees starting pitching once again as they put out nothing but studs. The dominating CC Sabathia will start the season as the resident Ace, but there is talent throughout the rotation. They are one of the few teams that has a rotation where every pitcher has won 15 games at least once in their career.
Talking about the bullpen is almost a waste of time. We all know what happens when the call to the pen gets made and so does the rest of baseball. There is flat out no better closer in baseball than Rivera. He has missed exactly seven save opportunities over the last three years. Just about every closer in the league blew that many last season alone.
There is probably only one or two other offenses that can compare to the Yankees starting lineup in all of baseball. We may be seeing one of the greats of all time in Alex Rodriguez and the rest of the supporting cast is not so bad either. Another 100 win season may be on the horizon for this star studded cast.
The defending champs definitely have some challenges in the early part of the season, but then it is smooth sailing for a few weeks. It is hard to imagine that the Yankees will not come out of April with the lead to the division and a huge win record. The Bronx Bombers will be up to their usual again in 2010.
Yankees fans never need a reason to flock to the ballpark, but they surely do have it this year. The defending world champs are set to go on another monster run this season and the park will surely be packed to the gills for each and every one of them. Get to the ticket window now because there may not be much left when the season starts. - 31492
