Yankees older ... but better?

08:12 AM ET 12.12 | If the Yankees' offseason has proven anything, it's that the club is still willing to bet on veterans. Until Tuesday, the Yankees' only off-season business, other than passively watching the free agent defections of Russell Martin, Eric Chavez and likely Nick Swisher, was the re-signing of 37-year-old Hiroki Kuroda, 40-year-old Andy Pettitte and 43-year-old Mariano Rivera. Now they have begun to address the gaping holes in their lineup, first by replacing one broken-down, formerly iconic third baseman -- 37-year-old Alex Rodriguez -- with another in 33-year-old Kevin Youkilis. ... They are by far the oldest team in baseball, made so because their player development system has failed to produce any players to replace the aging core.

I wouldn't say they're better, but they're still a very good team.
