One thousand runs

This guy is one of several that I've seen who suggests that the Yankees could score 1000 runs this year. Just a reminder: the Yankees scored 886 runs last year.

- They've replaced a multi-headed monster in centerfield with Johnny Damon. That should help.

- They've replaced Tony Womack with a full year of young-and-improving Robinson Cano.

- Derek Jeter, Gary Sheffield, Alex Rodriguez, Hideki Matsui, Jason Giambi, Jorge Posada, and Bernie Williams are over 30 and (like all of us) getting older. That should hurt.

Let's see: +2, -7.

They won't score 1000 runs.
