The usual suspects in the ASG for COF spots tend to do more than I see him doing. And, it isn't like he's going to get the pity "one from every team" spot being on the Yankees. That said, the fans could rock the vote. So, that first round is at the mercy of the rationality of Yankee fans. Great.
We probably differ on the magnitude of expected improvement, as you write.

But give me a little credit--I did know that fans vote for All Stars when I posted last winter, and I do know the comparative size of the YES Network media market and that of any other AL team.
