The New York Yankees have a new look with outspoken Hank Steinbrenner taking over ownership and new head coach Joe Girardi taking over the controls in the clubhouse. As for the team itself, the Yankees will once again be relying on their high profile batting studs to carry a team that will be relying on a slew of unproven young pitching staff.

Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada and legendary closer Mariano Rivera have all decided to stay but relying on three inexperienced starting pitchers to carry the team in the brutal A.L East could be a serious 
challenge. Bettors must also not soon forget that the “public” Yankee team was a horrendous bet last season going 19th in the MLB ATS. Despite the star studded roster I wouldn’t be surprised if the aging lineup even slipped statistically as they press to create runs for the vulnerable pitching staff.

Despite the questions, the Yankees are still the Yankees and they still have droves of talent that should land them in the postseason once again. As to how far they will go in the postseason is anyone’s guess, so much hinges on their pitching.
