Would the Yankees ever white flag it and throw in the towel? Dump anyone and everyone (I assume Rivera, Arod and Jeter untouchable) and try to get younger and reload in free agency? Wright/Pavano/Johnson didn't seem to work so dump 'em and try again?

I doubt they could even move a position player (maybe Sheffield, Matsui) but lots of teams will be looking for pitchers for the stretch and if they could get something for Gordon, Mussina, Johnson, Brown or Pavano they should take it!

Would/could the Yankees bring themselves to do this? If they don't do something they aren't gonna improve and they could end up sucking again next year.

Yes I know Cashman would, and I think George could be convinced as long as it was viewed as a short term rebuild and not a multiyear project.

The problem is when looking at the Yankee roster it becomes really hard to find guys who can be moved, as the problem players (ie not Jeter Arod etc) are for the most part overpaid and underproducing.
