To hear Cliff Lee tell it on the radio last week, you'd expect to see walkers, denture cups and Depends all around the Yankees clubhouse while the Phillies' features rattles, pacifiers and Pampers. Three months after jolting them with his decision to sign with Philadelphia, Lee hit the Yankees hard again by saying on WIP radio that one of the reasons he picked the Phillies is because the Yankees are "getting older." "Some of our core guys that we have relied on have gotten up there, but we have a group of young players that we're excited about," Yankees GM Brian Cashman said. "All we care about is being called champions. You can say anything else you want about us. When you call us old, that's fine." Lee is not the only one who believes the Yankees are old. But if you look at their roster closely, you'll see that, while several key pieces are aging, they do have plenty of talent either in the prime of their careers or just about to enter them. The perception likely comes from the fact that the "faces of the franchise" have some wrinkles -- Derek Jeter is 36, Alex Rodriguez 35, Mariano Rivera 41 and Jorge Posada 39. Jeter and Rodriguez do occupy important places both in the field and the lineup, but the rest of the Yankees starting fielders are all 30 or younger. The Yankees have stars in their prime like Robinson Cano (28), Mark Teixeira (30) and CC Sabathia (30). If Ivan Nova wins one of the starting spots in the rotation, the Yankees will have two 24-year-old starting pitchers in Nova and Phil Hughes. Posada said no one on the Yankees is joining AARP. "Not in our mind, not in here," Posada said about the thought the team is old. "I think we've got a lot of veterans and we've got a lot of young guys. You look around the infield -- Tex is pretty young, Cano is pretty young, and you've got Russell [Martin] is pretty young still. "You're going to see some veterans, but that's every team. "I think you look at the nine guys on the field and you've got five young guys, and the pitching staff is pretty young." 假設Nova搶到第5號的話,這先發陣容的年紀還真是狠狠的給Lee一巴掌 http://nyp.st/hOSxmG -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.121.22.152
