The Yankee core had a trend reversal this year...
Jeter (age 35): 2008 OPS+ 102, 2009 OPS+ 129
Matsui (age 35): 2008 OPS+ 108, 2009 OPS+ 128
Damon (age 35): 2008 OPS+ 118, 2009 OPS+ 123
Posada (age 37): 2008 OPS+ 103, 2009 OPS+ 130
Cabrera (age 24): 2008 OPS+ 68, 2009 OPS+ 97
Cano (age 26): 2008 OPS+ 86, 2009 OPS+ 126
Swisher (age 28): 2008 OPS+ 92, 2009 OPS+ 126
Arod and Tex had their usual productive years, but the other seven hitters all trended up significantly.
Can they do that again next year?
