After racking up 103 wins and a world championship you might think that Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman would be content to try and keep the same team together in order to
make yet anther run.
In fact, the easiest thing to do after winning it all is to keep the gang together for another shot. But that would mean neglecting to address weaknesses while all the other clubs work on theirs.
This article at MLB.Fanhouse.com details many of the changes Cashman has made this off season in an effort to address specific needs. "...You try to keep up with the Joneses. Everybody else got better. So hopefully we tried to keep up with everybody else's improvements."
Yankees Manager Joe Girardi echoed the same sentiment saying once the full squad reports he will tell them to forget about 2009 and resting on any laurels. "The gist of that message," Girardi said Wednesday, "is: It all starts over. You can't rely on what we did lat year. You can pull from your experiences, yes. But it all starts over. Everyone is 0-0 going into April 4. We know what it took to do it last year and we have to work hard like we did and we have to get that feeling back."
