What Will Yanks Do At Deadline??

Last night, once again CC Sabathia showed why he is one of the best in baseball. Unfortunately, the Yankees are not going to be able to pitch him 3 times in a playoff series which begs the question: What will the Yankees do at the trade deadline??

There seems to be a growing consensus that the Yankees will not make a major deal. Ubaldo Jimenez is still out there but the Rockies are still looking for 3 out of the 4 top Yankee prospects and Brian Cashman is reluctant to part with any of them. That being said, outside of Jimenez, there really isn't anyone available who you would consider a top of the rotation starter.

With respect to relievers, there are a lot of names out there but once again lefty relievers available aren't necessarily game changers in my opinion. Unfortunately, we may be stuck with what the Yankees have right now. The current roster will be good enough to make the playoffs. The bigger question is how they will do once they get there.
