ESPN.com - Offensive questions remain for pitching-rich Yanks
Bob Klapisch is kind of growing on me. He is right on when he asks who is going to score for the Yankees. Paul O'Neill is pretty much done in my book. I would take a (small) bet that he is retired by the middle of 2002. Williams is a great player, but he is 31 and that is (in general) past a player's peak. Jeter will likely have a monster year (a good MVP bet). Posada will probably back off a bit, and who knows who they will use in RF.
If the Red Sox get Manny Ramirez (fat chance), they would be my favorite in the East. Of course, if the White Sox get A-Rod (and I like their chances) all bets are off and the White Sox win 103 games next year.
But what Mussina can't do is answer the question that promises to smother the Yankees, starting now: who'll drive in the runs?
