Dressen Says Yanks Could Finish Fourth in National League
Miami dispatch reports Chuck Dressen argues the New York Yankees would place as low as fourth if in the National League. He notes the Yankees feast on weaker clubs in the American League and contrasts NL strength with comparisons to the Giants Cubs and Pirates. Dressen, returning to the NL with Dodgers connections, says the two leagues differ greatly in depth and that top NL clubs could challenge AL first-division teams. Sarasota report adds Mike Higgins says Red Sox could blow up the Yankee bubble, optimistic about Boston’s drive to upset last year’s pace.
