Myers made room for Brower, but Joba was called up in Bruney's place and Giambi was activated. Two of the four youngest pitchers in baaseball are Yankees. That must drive the Yankee-haters nutso.
And with the new arrivals, the team has depth and a better, younger staff. And by my count, 9 homegrown players (plus one homegrown who left, then returned.)
Updating the roster:
PITCHERS (12) -- Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Mike Mussina, Chien-Ming Wang, Phil Hughes, Mariano Rivera, Luis Vizcaino, Jim Brower, Kyle Farnsworth, Ron Villone, Joba Chamberlain, Jeff Karstens
CATCHERS (2) -- Jorge Posada, Jose Molina
INFIELDERS (6) -- Andy Phillips, Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Wilson Betemit, Jason Giambi
OUTFIELDERS (5) -- Hideki Matsui, Melky Cabrera, Bobby Abreu, Johnny Damon, Shelley Duncan
