You need to take off your homer glasses superfan. Not sure what you are smoking but...
Role Players? $207 million doesnt get you role players unless they are seriously overpaying. Jeter? ARod? Giambi? Matsui? Williams? Posada? Sheffield? lol
And uh, hate to break it to you, but your boys aint getting Beltran. Hes signing with the Mets.
A few guys who can steal? who? Jeter, Womak? they are the oldest team in the league and one of the slowest.
Solid Defense? Yes, great left side, very weak defensively in center.
Best relief pitching??? Huh? They have Rivera? whos starting to show his age? Gordon is adequate as a setup but by no means is he the best.
Every starting piotcher can win 15 games?? WHAT? Randy Johnson Can, El Duque can if hes not hurt, Moose can. But after that? Brown? Pavano? doubtful.
They will be able to win 100+ because they can hit the ball out of the ballpark and outscore people. Thats what $200 million plus can buy you. The playoffs, thats another story. Same story as 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004.
