Best Team in the American League?
(Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife ) It's gotta be the pinstripes. They've seen quite a few losses in the past few months, including the loss of Mariano Rivera, CC Sabathia , and most recently Andy Pettitte, but their offensive power and defensive ability shows the depth the Yankees have on their team. I see this downtime for the Yankees as a golden opportunity to test fresh pitchers they haven't gotten to know against some of the best batters in the league. The Yankee's schedule doesn't get much easier in the coming, with long series against Tampa Bay, Baltimore and the LA Angels . They'll certainly be using some of their young pitchers a decent amount during this period, but they also have to opportunity to bring up some potential starts from the minors that have been on the waiting list for quite some time.
