The Yankees are starting to worry their fans...they seem serious about their budget! They are going into the season with Pavano penciled into the rotation..a five pitcher rotation- no 6th or even 7th guy to stand and wait for injury or ineffectiveness. All is not lost this may wind up as a very interesting year..the year the home grown Yankees start to arrive for the next phase of the Dynasty. Humberto Sanchez, Phillip Hughes, Tyler Clippard are planned to follow Wang into the rotation from the Minor League System joining old man Pettitte and Kei Igawa over the next two seasons. They could pitch in relief some to gain confidence except for Hughes who is redy for a spot in the order. The most pressing order of business for the Yankees is their future catcher not their pitching... they now have answers at AAA.
NOTES: If the Helton deal does not go... I think it still will...Boston will look back and say: best deal we didn't make this offseason was keeping Mike Lowell. Boston will have to invent a closer but still have a huge talent edge in offense, defense, and pitching over the entire league.
