The problem the Yankees have for next year is age. Jeter will be 39 and now he has a bad ankle. Bones don't set that well once osteoporosis begins to set in.
A-Rod is going to be 38.
Andy Petite 40
Mariano Rivera will be 83 years old and is probably done.
Raul Ibanez 41 and Ichiro will be 40 in Japanese years.

That's an awfully big chunk of your primary players around 40 years old and higher.
