New York Yankees predictions

The next stop on TheSportsNotebook’s spring training tour is the Evil Empire itself, as we take a look at the New York Yankees. They won the AL East last year, pulling away from collapsing Boston, before losing to Detroit in the American League Division Series. That’s two straight years without a World Series title and for the fan base of the Yankees, this constitutes a major crisis. TheSportsNotebook takes a look at the 2012 Pinstripes, through the prism of their ability to get on base, hit for power, starting pitching and relief pitching.
