Teixiera is in decline and is a shadow of his former self.
Jeter is a decent hitter but his defense sucks ass and will cost the Yankees one too many runs.
McCann is decent both as a hitter and catcher but he won't be able to carry the entire team.
Ellsbury couldn't stay on the field if his life depended on it.

Ellsbury's injuries are all because he hustles too hard. I like that.
Oh and remember how painful it was watching Cano in the World Series? Yuck. For every amazing thing he did in the regular season I literally cannot recall and significant moments of him in the playoffs in general.
It'll suck seeing him go to Seattle and hit 25 homers next year and walk a shitload of times but the Yankees are a team and not one individual. I gave Red Sox fans a lot of shit for them trading Adrian Gonzalez who was by far their best player and they go and make some small pickups and win the World Series.

You won't like it when he misses nearly half the season and the Yanks end up having to give Wells more playing time.

Last I checked almost everybody on the Yankees's roster was horrible in the postseason, not just Cano. Only exceptions were most of the pitchers, Ibanez, Ichiro and Jeter.
As for the Red Sox there are three things they have that the Yankees don't, a young talented core, a good farm system and depth. Pedroia, Bucholz, Lester, Doubront, Nava, Bradley, Bogaerts, Tazawa and Middlebrooks are key members of the Red Sox's succes and they were all brought up in that organization and this list will continue to grow bigger thanks to their kick-ass farm system. Barnes, Cecchini, Bentz, Marrero, Buttrey and Ball, they're all on the come-up and will continue to keep Boston competitive for years to come. Their farm system and huge budget allows them to be able to trade or buy anybody that they want (well almost everybody). And unlike the Yankees they're spending their money wisely and only giving relatively short-termdeals to effective players. In 2013 guys like Victorino, Napoli and Uehara made all the difference to them.
The Yankees are not young, their farmsystem is dogshit and have zero depth. If the main guys get hurt the Yankees will be in deep shit all over again.
And while I agree that baseball is a team sport the bottom line is that an Ortiz-less Red Sox roster is a lot better and talented than a Cano-less Yankees roster. Everyone around Ortiz is better than everyone who would've been around Cano in 2014.

Yankees were 4th place last year with Cano and Granderson....they both got mad overpaid this off season. You gotta move on and make the best decisions for both now and the future and watching Cano play until 41 for more money than Albert Pujols is retarded.
