The bidding is over and Santana is coming to New York... oh wait the NY Mets... Now that the Yankees are out of the race for Santana, they must rely on their young pitchers to lead them through the season. Out of all their young talent I feel that Joba Chamberlain will make or break their season. The Steinbrenners have been pushing to make Joba a starter, but how durable is he? Will he be able to go seven strong innings a game for six months? Now that he left the bullpen how will they get to Mariano Rivera without a 8th innning set up man. Even though the Yankees required Latroy Hawkings this offseason, he certainly can't fit that role. He had one good season with the Twins in 2001 and has gone downhill from their, bouncing from team to team. Someone from their farm system will have to step up or Cashman has to have some magic up his sleeve in order to address one of the major problems of the teams past few years. Their is still time this offseason for something to happen but their really isn't anyone good on the free agent market. I guess only time will tell...
