Yankees have almost revamped their pitching rotation. The deal with Diamondbacks for Big Unit seems to be done deal. If so Yankees will have the best starting rotation (big three from A's is gone so is Pedro from Red Sox). They had pretty good batting lineup last eyar, so i don't think anything needs to be changed. Cairo is replaced by veteran Womack at 2nd base and Tino Martinez would do better job at 1b/DH position. Alot of it will depend on Giambi's health. I am one of the Yankees who think the star loaded offense is good to win another championship. We don't need Beltrans and Delgados new contract. If they need to get someone, I would like to see Soriano back. 2004 --------------------------------------------------- 2005 Pitching rotation 1.
