Tony Gwynn's Scorecard

Yankees vs. Indians
Gwynn's Take
  Starters
Tribe's 1-2 punch of Sabathia-Carmona as good as it gets.
Offense  
Will A-Rod feel pressure after MVP-type season?
  Defense
With Sizemore and Lofton, they're faster, more balanced.
Manager  
Wedge might win manager of year, but this might be Torre's best work.
  Intangibles
Indians have outstanding pitching, Yanks have been there.
     
Bottom Line: Toss-up series will be determined by how Yankees handle Sabathia.
