Look at the bright side---you could have the Yankees pitching, and nothing down on the farm after mortgaging it on that collection of aging once-superstars.

You could be paying Kevin Brown $15 million not to pitch. You could have spent your free agent money on a guy coming off an 18-8 season which put him a whopping one game over .500 for his career (Pavano) or another king's ransom on a guy who's been hurt more than he's been active the last few seasons (Wright). Or traded some of your bright lights for a 41 year old Unit with knee and back problems. And pin your hopes on a guy whose brightest post-season moment came in long relief (Mussina).

Hanson may be coming soon. Nasty stuff. We have nothing to lose.
