I agree that in NY George is the man, but don't you feel he was under pressure to sign a big name bat, of which Sheffield was tops, considering the team's defeat in the playoffs and the exodus of some of the more beloved Yankees (i.e. Pettite, Clemens and Zimmer)?

I believe he was, and made up his mind even before the W.S. was over that, in order to satisfy the N.Y. media and fans, he had to sign Sheffield. Gonzalez nor Guerrero would do.
Additionally, when Pettite, left the pressure increased two-fold, with most N.Y. tabloids explicitly blaming "the boss" for ignoring Pettite's contractual plight.

Anyone else have a take?
