Creating the worst possible Yankees team from this decade

Tanking has been all the rage this year. Across baseball, teams like the Orioles and the Marlins have constructed rosters designed to generate as many wins as possible — for other teams, that is. To do so, they have acquired and given considerable playing time to players who probably would be more at home facing the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders than the New York Yankees. This got me thinking; although the Yankees have not finished with a record under .500 since before I was born, they have employed a number of players in recent years who probably did not belong on a big-league roster, due to either age or performance.
