apparently you havent been keeping up with much yankee baseball....the yankees have began building a wonderful farm system and plan on their pitching staff to be completely home grown kids within the next couple of years...

you can already see the progression with Joba Chamberlain coming in and owning everyone ( could be the next rivera, or could move into the starting rotation eventually if he develops 1 or 2 more pitches), Phil Hughes (21 yrs old and WILL eventually be a cy young winner), Chien Ming Wang, Edwar Ramirez (who has been VERY solid in middle relief since he was pulled up), Sean Henn, and Luis Vizcaino. ALL home grown straight out of the Yankee farm system.

Cano, Phillips, Jeter, Posada, Rivera, Cabrera, Duncan, and Matsui.........ALL yankee products. People act like the Yankee farm system is no good....they need to recognize.

not to mention the 3-4 minor league pitching prospects that they plan on bringing up within a year or 2 at the absolute LATEST.

The Yankee front office has began looking to the future as far as pitching goes...and its definitely a bright one with the LOAD of young talent thats about to flood the scene.

2 months ago = everyone counting the yankees out. Now = anybodys game.
