BRONX, N.Y. — A shrewd organization knows the strength and weaknesses of its system. For the past handful of years, the New York Yankees have cultivated a nice crop of Baby Bombers in the Bronx. Yet, many of these players acquired and or developed have graduated and thus far have come short of a World Series championship.
Now, I’d argue there’s no such thing as a closing window in the Yankee universe but it’s fair to ask if this core group has what it takes to make it to the mountain top. By no means am I saying blow it all up but there comes a point where one wonders if there’s too much prospect hugging with a team that’s built to win now?
