...course, the Yankees already have Derek Jeter and the Red Sox have Nomar Garciaparra-All-Star shortstops who aren't going to change positions. Assuming Boston doesn't trade Garciaparra, who's in the final year of his contract, they would switch Matsui to second; New York would put him either at second (trading Alfonso Soriano or setting him to graze in the outfield) or third (replacing Aaron Boone...
...beat themselves far more than the Red Sox could beat them) whose payroll is less than half that of the Sox. The Sox have the second highest payroll in the American League. And unlike the Yankees, whose core is made up of players developed through their own system (Williams, Jeter, Posada, Rivera, and Pettitte) or acquired in shrewd trades (like the pitcher in the “twilight of his career”), the Red Sox are made up almost entirely of free agents, like Manny, Ortiz, Millar, and Walker, or players picked up in fire sales, like Pedro Martinez...

As he stepped to the plate in a Dodgers' uniform, he was a mature 28 years old that April day. (By contrast, Derek Jeter was playing in his eighth major league season when he reached that age last June.) But in a magnificent 10-year Hall of Fame career Robinson made up for lost time--his and that of the great Negro League ballplayers who never got the chance to shine in the Bigs...
