The Bronx Stop: A Yankees Blog

I just read this quote from an article from the New York Daily News:

"Pay A-Rod this way and they are officially making him the centerpiece of their franchise and the face of their franchise for the next decade. It won't be Derek Jeter won't be the new manager and won't be Joba Chamberlain. It will be A-Rod, who puts up huge numbers except at the time of year when the greatness of the New York Yankees has been grandly defined. Bucky Dent has a more impressive October résumé with one swing."

I really don't believe the Yankee's need to have a "centerpiece" of the franchise. That is garbage. If you have ever heard a Yankee being interviewed you would understand that there is no one piece that makes or breaks the Yankee's ,and if there were, that piece is definitely not a player or a manager. It is all about the team and Yankee's fans know this.
