How Yankees' behind-the-scenes work vs. Red Sox could have big payoff

NEW YORK -- If the Yankees end up in Boston for the American League Division Series, the work they do behind the scenes now could have a big impact later.

That's according to Aaron Boone, who agreed that their current series with the Red Sox -- and their season-ending series with them in about a week -- could provide them vital information.

"It better be," Boone said before Wednesday night's game against Boston at Yankee Stadium. "You need to continue to grow in this game and you need to continue to always try to gather information and be able to evaluate and prepare for opponents but also evaluate ourselves and kind of, we're scouting ourselves right now, to see if there's things we're doing that we can do better, tendencies, those kinds of things.
