A Yankee Once Again

by Denton on March 16, 2012

After “retiring” for a season, Andy Pettitte is back in pinstripes. Now what would a thirty-nine year old man do for a whole year away from the game? Depending on what kind of numbers he puts up, I would speculate a cycle of PEDs. The Yankees who once had concerns in the starting pitching area, now have the following names to pick five from:

  • CC Sabathia
  • Hiroki Kuroda
  • Michael Pineda
  • Andy Pettitte
  • Ivan Nova
  • Phil Hughes
  • Freddy Garcia

That’s some depth. Considering the Sox counter with the likes of Bard Aceves and Doubrant, it’s going to be tough to win the East.

Remember who the 5th starter was at the start of the season when we ran away with the East in 2007? Whenever I get down about our current lack of starting depth, I just think of Julian Tavarez and I feel better.

The Yankee rotation looks tough, but that's why they play the game.  We don't know how good they are until the real games begin...

This puts sport in perspective.  I was at this game today:

Horrible to see.  Surreal and quite upsetting. 

 

 

 

 

Good news is, he's apparently critical but stable in hospital, thanks to the quick treatment he received on the field.

Agree, the MFY's have some depth. But we'll see how this plays out. Period.

Tough to win the East?  Same as it ever was then.   As the Zen Master says, however, we'll see.  Which can't start happening soon enough in my opinion.  Three weeks, only three more weeks.
