The Mariners didn't pick up an "all-star pitcher", they picked up Armando Benitez. There's a difference. Once Sasaki is back Benitez will be setting up like he should.
And as for Nelson, don't the Yankees always lose him in the offseason only to reaquire him at the deadline? Seems like it to me.
Finally, there are maybe three legitamite all-stars in that Yankee lineup: Boone, in the National League of course; Giambi, even though he struggled; and Matsui, the reason MLB should consider limiting the number of times you can vote for a player.
Jeter is more overrated as a ss then Phil Rizzuto, Soriano is learning that just because you swing at everything doesn't mean you will actually make contact, Bernie Williams is using a Rascal to get around in center, and the very fact that David Dellucci is your right fielder is funny as hell.
