Bombers Banter: Trade Deadline Hits and Misses

Do I think they did enough to win a championship? The answer would have to be no.

Mackenzie Kraemer: It's impossible to say if the Yankees have done enough. They've helped out their offense a lot and added a lefty to an already solid bullpen, but the rotation is still a question mark. Wang is the ace, and he's not coming back until maybe October.

Joba Chamberlain can be a shutdown starter, but are Mussina and Pettitte good enough to out-duel Daisuke Matsuzaka or Ervin Santana? I don't know. Plus, who starts Game Four in the ALCS?

A.J. Martelli: The team has done enough to put themselves in position to win the World Series. Nady will provide a little spark in the offense and is a good defensive player. Marte is a good bullpen player, but will have to pick up the slack for the recently traded Farnsworth.

Pudge is a 14-time All Star and has the ability to call a good game behind the plate, which will help the starting pitchers. These three additions can help fill the Yankees' holes down the stretch.
