In addittion to those guys, for insurance we still have guys like Rasner coming back from injury, Chase Wright who didnt do too poorly in his stint last year, Igawa; who despite his performance last year and the doubts Yankee/basebll fans have about him CAN/WILL be a solid pitcher in the Major leagues. He's too good not to be.
....can't wait for the responses on that one
Basically what I'm saying is that while we may not have Johan Santana or Josh Beckett or Jake Peavy or Ben Sheets, we do still have a formidable rotation with hot young studs, and decent insurance policies. Humberto Sanchez will be healthy, and although the Yankees plan on converting him to the bullpen he has experience starting so he could be another insurance option too. All I'm saying is that when you have a guy like Mike Mussina, with his savvy at the back end or as your spot starter, can't be too bad.
