Yankee overhaul
sporting goods
My favorite part about the Yankees overhauling their lineup is the move of Tony Womack from second base to left field. I'm not even sure Tony Womack is a league average second baseman (DarLucky?) but I am damn sure he isn't a league average left fielder. No team makes the playoffs with a LF with a .659 OPS. And that isn't low just because Tony is in a slump, that OPS is consistent with his career mark. Sorry Yankee fans, but unless the rest of the lineup starts carrying the water for the old men at the top and bottom of the order, it is going to be a very, very long season.

Not to state the obvious but it is too much fun for me to resist. I think the other shoe has officially dropped for Steinbrenner. The Yankees have finally spent and traded their way into oblivion They got too old, too expensive, and too fragile. I know they're dropping a lot of contract money after this year so they'll be able to play the free agent market, but isn't that what got them into this mess in the first place?
Oh, and it'll be fun watching Womack in left. It'll be Roger Cedeno all over again.
