Girardi Expects Yankees To Repeat
Oct 23, 2014 10:15 AM
Yankees manager Joe Girardi fully expects the team to defend their World Series championship this season.
"In a sense you're supposed to repeat every year. That's the expectation here. We understand that. ... It's something that the organization has always stood for," said Girardi.
"So is there a greater sense of urgency to win this year than last year or the year before? I don't think so. You look at 2010. What we did in 2009 was wonderful, but it all starts over. It takes a lot of hard work. It takes a lot of commitment from everyone in the organization from top to bottom."
Despite winning it all, New York did a fair amount of shuffling this winter.
Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Melky Cabrera are gone, and Curtis Granderson, Javier Vazquez and Nick Johnson have arrived
