The Yankees have traded left-hander David Huff to the Giants for cash, two days after he was designated for assignment by New York to make room for Japanese ace Masahiro Tanaka.
"The game is pitching," Jeter said. "If you have great pitching, you always have an opportunity to win. From everything I've heard, he's going to be quite an addition to our team."
If the Yankees sign Drew, he won't start at shortstop -- Jeter certainly isn't moving positions. The 30-year-old could move over to third base -- or even second -- though he's only played shortstop in his eight-year career.

If Tanaka and his Beethovian six-pitch mound symphony can turn into a No. 1 or No. 2 rotation option immediately, his richness in texture and rhythm can transform last year's also-ran into a contender. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
It seems there is at least one player who is unimpressed by the Yankees' offseason spending spree. Of course that player is on the Red Sox -- the world champion Red Sox he might add.
It seems the Yankees were steadfast in their budgetary discipline. Until they weren't. And thank goodness for that. Not only are we spoiled Yankees fans better off, but so is baseball.

There are similarities between Peyton Manning and Derek Jeter: the drive to win, the injuries that put upcoming performance into question, and the simple desire to perform at the highest level.

The Yankees may be largely a team of high-priced offensive stars, but at the end of the day they will likely only go as far as their pitching and defense take them. Ivan Nova, David Robertson and Brett Gardner make the Bombers that much better.
