Agreed. The last thing the Yankees should be doing right now is trading pitchers, whether they're hurt or not.
As for the Yankees rotation, here's the way I see it working out for the upcoming games:
Tuesday vs. CLE - Chase Wright
Wednesday vs. CLE - Kei Igawa
Thursday vs. CLE - Darrel Rasner
Friday @ BOS - Andy Pettitte
Saturday @ BOS - Jeff Karstens (this is according to the YES pregame show, and it makes sense because Karstens pitched yesterday and that would put him on track to start Saturday)
Sunday @ BOS - Chase Wright (no other options)
Monday @ TB - Kei Igawa
Tuesday @ TB - C.M. Wang (Wang threw an extended spring training game on Saturday, but Torre has said he wants to give Wang two starts. This would put him on line to pitch Thursday. If everything goes well he would be on line to start Tuesday)
Wednesday vs. Toronto - Andy Pettitte
Thursday vs. Toronto - Jeff Karstens
Friday vs. Boston - This is where I'll stop because it's difficult to tell. This would be the first day Mussina would be available to come off the DL. Other options would be Chase Wright or Darrel Rasner.
