Well, smazur, you certainly bring up some valid points. I could see where the Yankees would be boring to the casual baseball fan. But, for a great deal of Yankee fans, like myself, for whom Yankee-fandom was instilled from birth, and is a long-standing family tradition, they are not. I'm sure this i...

Joe Torre has won World Series with formerly troubled personalities, and troubled personalities with significant contributions to those World Series victories I might add...

Here we go: Yankees / Red Sox 1st base: Kevin Millar/David Ortiz vs. Travis Lee/Jason Giambi: Giambi is an average fielder, so are Millar and Ortiz, Travis Lee is an outstanding fielder, Giambi is a better power, average, and RBI hitter than Millar or Ortiz.
