The Yanks may be losing Soriano... but if they're getting A-Rod, who the hell cares that there's a hole at 2nd base? Put some minor league scrub there, and you've still improved your team significantly.
That being said, the Yankees still have a weak pitching staff, which will make their $200 million payroll [which seems to be approaching the GNP of several third-world countries] and lack of World Series Championship title come October all the more hilarious.
