But didn't Boston think they had in-house resolution to their pitching problems last year too and look how badly they got burned.
But the difference is that the Yankees a.) aren't counting on their farm system as major force, only as a band-aid for injuries b.) have talent in their farm system, whereas the Red Sox had virtually none after Papelbon.
In addition, I'd like to see the Yankees get Gagne before the Red Sox do. With Papelbon moving to starter (which, imho, is a huge mistake, I project that he'll get walloped), and Foulke gone, they need a closer.
And the Yankees need a better set-up man than Kyle Farnsworth, especially if they can't get Villone back.

I've heard rumours that the team will be up for sale next year, and they want to maximize the value they get in return.
