Today is February 13th, one day before the Yankees start Spring Training. One day after Derek Jeter announced that he will be retiring at the end of the 2014 season. I can't say I'm surprised. The Captain isn't getting any younger, and it wasn't that long ago that he said he had plans for when he retires. I wish him the best. This will mark the end of an era for the Yankees. I know that sounds trite, but it's very much true. The off season moves made by Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman were....interesting. Some acquisitions made sense - Carlos Beltran for one. Others, I'm not so sure. Is Masahiro Tanaka going to be worth the money? Stay tuned!
