Andy, that's a very interesting list. The Yanks have been more lucky than loyal: none of those 3 guys (especially Jeter and Mo) have done anything that would make a team <i>want</i> to trade them. Jeter is actually enjoying an MVP-calibre season.
I wonder if it has always been this way. Trading is as much a part of baseball as the home run.
It should be noted, also, that for any player to play in MLB for 10 seasons, he usually has to be damn good, which eliminates 90% of all players (although guys like Inge and Cuddyer are hardly big stars.)
Cool post.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
