Beltran, Hunter and Wells would be the only ones I would take in CF out of that list, Beltran is like 26 and is a 30-30 guy, Hunter is around the same age and has a great upside, and Vernon could breakout this year, definately has the potential though.
I expect Matsui to go through an early adjustment period, If he is the player he's been talked up as... he'll adjust.
Bernie doesn't have the speed he once did that helped compensate for his bad fielding, his arm is weak and always has been. Of course I never think of the loyalty aspect and the clubhouse moral aspect of it...
The outfield definaltely gives me the jibblies... the other aspects of the team are very solid - good depth in the rotation (If weaver gets put in the bullpen again I'm gonna be so pissed), fantatsic infield, bullpen... eh, fantastic coaching, amazing (HEALTHY) closer... we're pretty much set.
I'd be willing to bet on Colon being a Yankee by the trading deadline. Time will tell.
