The 2007 lineup for the New York Yankees may quite possibly the most powerful hitting squad baseball has seen. With the number of star players on the team, they should win the AL East for their tenth year in a row, and there is no reason they shouldnt continue that trend through the post season. Here is a look at what you can expect to see from the Yankees in 2007.
First of all, losing Gary Sheffield was bad for the Yankees. In two seasons, Gary was accepted as the Most Valuable Player for the team. Now he plays for the Detroit Tigers, leaving the Yankees team wounded. Bobby Abreu has a chance to prevent the loss from affecting the team negatively, but hes going to have to continue playing like he has since hes been in New York, or else this year will end like last year for him.
2007 starter Robinson Cano ranked as the best offensive second baseman, and second place overall. At the young age of twenty three, hes got all of his best years right ahead of him. Canos defensive game isnt very strong, but this year should see some improvement on that.
Alex Rodriguez will be another strong contender for the Yankees this year. He should be able to have another MVP...
