The 2012 New York Yankees have a team that is built to win the World Series, and offer plenty of everything for opposing teams to be very afraid about.
And here are the three reasons why:
1) MOTIVATION.
From CC Sabathia to Mark Teixeira to Alex Rodriguez , if the Yankees have made one thing very clear this offseason it is how unhappy they were with their 2011 ALDS early exit. I saw first hand back in December how hard Sabathia was training by his evident weight... Read Full Story

AJ Burnett on the bump at Yankee Stadium.
I am kicking myself for presuming that the media would go dormant on trade rumors surrounding New York Yankees pitcher AJ Burnett .
As usual the spark came via FOX Sports Ken Rosenthal who reported that the Pittsburgh Pirates might land Burnett. He also wrote that the Yankees were willing to eat most of the $33 million Burnett is still owed, just so GM Brian Cashman can use the little money left over as leverage to sign a bench player...

Since six-time Gold Glover Eric Chavez seems to be AWOL, at least on the New York Yankees radar, GM Brian Cashman is up to his old tricks and I don’t mean off the field.
Once again Cashman is handing out minor league deals and 2012 Spring Training invites, and the latest recipient, according to the New York Post , is 37-year old Russell Branyan .

At 6:30pm tomorrow, Super Bowl XLVI will officially be underway, so it only seems proper that I pick a winner and a loser between the New England Patriots or the New York Giants .
There is only one problem; I am a lifelong Giants fan.
Picking the Giants to win felt way too Jet-like to me.
