Fish or cut bait?

I don't know where the line in the sand gets drawn -- the one that once crossed, serves as notice to all that the Yankees have stopped playing for 2007, and have begun preparing for 2008.  It's been so long since any Yankee has had to ponder such a question, but barring a serious 2nd half run, it's one they will have to address in 2007.

I've been thinking that the Yankees were probably due for a year like this.  For so long, they've kept adding a piece here and there and been able to stay just enough ahead of the pack to make the playoffs, while not seriously threatening another championship.

Of course, that assumes they use this opportunity to tear down what needs demolishing, protect what needs to be saved, and acquire those pieces that make sense in both the short AND long run.

I'm no different then anyone else -- I've got my opinion about who needs to go and who needs to stay.  I started this blog today to post my thoughts, and solicit your feedback -- good or bad.

Over the next few days/weeks, I'll give you my evaluation of the roster, talent coming up through the minor leagues, etc.  If you agree with me, leave a comment telling me that.  If you don't, post that out there too. 

That said, I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July, despite the loss earlier today ...
