"The intangibles"
Renteria had a better year than Jeter last year. Giles over Boone in a heartbeat. And I'd take Pujols over Sheffield as well. And the pitching matchups don't exactly work. I'd take Wood over Mussina and anyone over Lieber, because he's unproven. So, given that group of pitchers to choose from I'd probably take Wood, Prior, Vasquez, Schmidt, and Mussina. And I'd take Gagne over Smoltz and Rivera. Actually, I'd take the Nl's bullpen over the Yankees, no sense in playing match-ups.

Exactly. I like how he picked Benitez as the other reliever when the NL had Smoltz, Gagne, and Wagner last year.
About the intangibles, if that was refering to my my question, I agree that Jeter must be a good leader being that he is the captain and all. I just question how the chemistry of the Yankees will work this year with so many new players. And on the subject of Sheffield, I find it highly unlikely that he will have a year like '03, and his '03 was not as good as Pujols' (although they were close).
Edit: And plus, I don't buy into intangibles any more as that was Jocketty and LaRussa's reasoning over what Tino Martinez brought to the Cardinals.
