Who will the Yankees retool with this offseason to defend their title?

If the Red Sox dont pick up or add an extension to Josh Beckett whom is deffinetly itching to play with free-agency. Josh Beckett is a proven post-season performer, and now we know the key to win a championship is a team of PITCHERS who are built for the pressure, yes hitting is nice but we do have enough. But anyway, Beckett is an option, Cliff Lee is gonna be a free agent, Jon Lackey (don't like him though), there is the cuban defect who can be raised a couple years in the minors Aroldis Chapman. Or we can pick up a number 5 starter, plenty of bargains out there.

For resigns. Pettitte - deffinite, Damon - Very likely, Matsui -because of his knees not so likely.

Now for hitting, i want speed. and there is no combos of speed and average hitters besides Chone Figgins this off-season, and i dont like the style player he is, and there is no place to put him. Maybe the yanks sould grab Holliday or Bay...not much of a Jason Bay fan cuz he dosent hit for average and i love lefty hitters so maybe Holliday isnt the answer either. Mike Cameron pisses me off but his personality and fielding would be an upgrade from Melkey. Maybe just trade for a good decent lefty hitter how will pop around 20 homers.

    For the record: Beckett is not available for 2010. Roy Halliday and John Lackey should be available. I'd be more concerned with the shaky middle relief, especially if Chamberlain is moved back to a starter. Also, age is creeping up on Jeter, Posada, and definitely Rivera. Take a look at what happened in 1965, when CBS let the team get old all at once. For hitters, Bay is a good bet, even if you don't like him, and never discount a trade as non contenders try to dump salary.

    Source(s): Fan since 1956.
