This is a franchise I did to prove how the Yankees buy all the good players and are bad for baseball (Yes, I am biased, because I hate them). I decided to do a franchise, trading away every player on the team except one. I chose Soriano as the player to keep. After trading the entire active roster, here is my team.
Rotation:
Pedro Martinez
Odalis Perez
A.J. Burnett
Kevin Millwood
C.C. Sabathia
Long Relief:
Joe Kennedy'
Rick Ankiel
Middle Relief:
Oliver Perez
B.J. Ryan
Setup: Byung-Hyun Kim
Closer: Francisco Rodriguez
Position Players:
C/OF- Eli Marrero (he can catch, good against righties)
C- Brad Ausmus (good defense, good against lefties)
1B- Mike Sweeney
1B- Jose Leon (decent against lefties)
2B- Alfonso Soriano
SS- Jose Hernandez
SS- Chris Woodward (dominates righties)
SS- Tony Womack (pinch runner)
3B- Edgardo Alfonzo
LF- Pat Burrell
LF- Carl Crawford (pinch runner/fielder)
LF- Jason Tyner (pinch runner/fielder)
CF- Mark Kotsay
CF- Johnny Damon
Yup, I got this team just from making semi-fair trades with the regular Yankee players. I will update on their total dominance later.

For a Yankees fan, I feel flattered.
