They need a center fielder. I think this is the problem the yankees have if you compare the World Series Championship years and 2001 on.
Top 5 HR leaders for the yankees during their WS years.

Bernie Williams OF 30
Jorge Posada C 28
David Justice OF 20
Paul O'Neill OF 18
Scott Brosius 3B 16
1999
Tino Martinez 1B 28
Bernie Williams OF 25
Derek Jeter SS 24
