Just what they don't need.
A 35 year-old slugger on the downside of his career who hasn't played much centerfield.
I think Tori Hunter is a much better fit.

A Rod: 2 months short of 31
Giambi: 35
Posada: 4 months short of 35
Matsui: 2 months short of 32
Sheffield: 37
Bernie: 37

I can see this team breaking down and falling apart all at once.

I wouldn't be upset if he came back, but, he's a scumbag for pulling such antics! (sorry, Gina!  )

I cannot wait 'til I see Daemon, opps, sorry, Damon, after his Steinbrenner makeover! Probably better than the Fab 5 treatment he got last year! ...and, when he fails to do anything, (and mark my words here!) he'll blame it on George and claim his hirsuteness was the reason he could hit. Write that down. (see: Fielder, Blockhead, C*ntsaco, etc)

Yeah but I always liked Flash and wish the Yanks could have hung onto him. I personally don't think Dotel would do better in similar situations because I remember when he was a closer for Oakland and Houston and he sucked. Sure he won't be closing in the Bronx but it was a similar situation kinda. MAY 1 is the Yankees first game in Fenway Park  Can't wait to see it!

No way. Bernie is still a clutch hitter, and a great fielder. He just has lost his wheels over the years, which is natural. If Bernie would've left, it would have tarnished the legacy of a great Yankee career.
Ruben was one of my favorites, and always seemed to have a clutch hit in his arsenal. Plus, he was also an unofficial bench coach for the younger Latino players, if you notice, Robinson Cano has tooled his swing off of Sierra's style, thanks to his tutelage.
