Frankly, the Yankees can afford to do what they are currently doing (i.e. buying all the quality free agents), but it isn't all gloom and doom that people are predicting. It leaves them high on star power and all-stars, but low on depth Without depth and other assets, they really cannot preform the necessary trades. Without trading and a farm system, they're stuck relying on an aging star-driven line-up. As players grow older, they're increasingly likely to get hurt. The Yankees are always one pulled muscle on a pitcher away from disaster. It's important to remember that offense wins in the regular season, but defense and pitching wins in the postseason and the Yankees will find it increasingly tough to find that in the years to come.
