I don't really see what long-term problems you see with the pitching

Fair warning, I was a Yankee fan for over 15 years and most of my friends remain so.

As I said below, the starting rotation is going to have 4 top notch guys assuming one of Betances and Banuelos work out. Nova had a 3.7 ERA last year and is continuing, which is very good considering the league, ballpark, and division. Pineda seems to be the real deal. That's 3/4 guys which are really cheap, and CC.

As far as the pen is concerned, yes Rivera is getting old, but they have lots of options. Robertson had an AMAZING year last year'best out of any reliever in the league'and he's still young. Soriano will probably return to his Tampa form. Hughes, when they finally give up on him being a starter, is likely to be good out of the pen as he was stellar there in 09.

The only real issue I see moving forward for the Yanks is their bloated infield contracts and the age of Jeter/A-Rod. Don't forget that A-Rod makes all the money back in terms of short-term and long-term commercialization of his beating records (which makes their emphasis on overall payroll seem silly to me).
