Yankees people suddenly seem concerned about the team’s play. Even Aaron Boone suggested they needed to play better, a switch from his leaked “best team in the league” comment.

Some within the hierarchy are wondering how aggressive they should be with trades. But word remains: Owner Hal Steinbrenner isn’t giving up on this group.

Spencer Jones is killing it (1.303 OPS at Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes-Barre), but it’s hard to see the Yankees sacrificing their future considering their inconsistent play.

The Yankees do look bad lately — homer-dependent and mistake-prone.
