Face it...the Yankees (i.e. #$!% Steinbrenner) have a tendency to make
some DUMB trades...they'll make moves in haste, giving away potential 
achievers for proven mediocre players.  THEY SHOULD THINK ABOUT
LONG TERM NEEDS!

They got rid of Mike Heath and got Cerone after Munson's death, traded
Davis since they had (yech) Gossage, put Righetti in the bullpen when
what they really needed was another solid starter,....

If they trade Mattingly, then I'll really lose hope (the way he's goin',
he'll challenge many records)...
