I couldnt blame anybody for thinking that, or thinking im crazy for saying that. But when Igawa comes into his own and adapts to the American game he could be a reliable starter. Not that I would expect much from Chase Wright, but he's capable of of giving us a servicable outing if needed. Rasner is a guy who has all the potential in the world, but has been derailed due to injuries and lack of opportunity both in the Yankees and Expos/Nationals system. Healthy and at the top of his game he's a guy who has the ability to be a solid number 4 or 5. So while I respect and understand the opinions f everyone regarding the Yankee pitching depth, there's more than meets the eye. There's also several other guys I could touch on but I think you guys get my point. I'm satisfied with what we've got, even if we dont get a Santana, Haren (at Billy Beane's price I wouldnt want him anyway), Bedard, etc. Chein-Ming Wang won 19 games, and has more ML wins since June 2006 than anyone, Andy Pettitte is Andy Pettitte, Joba Chamberlain was the nastiest setup man in the game last year after he came up in August (Not that that translates to him being a dominate starter, but we'll have to wait and see), Phil Hughes is dynamite waiting to be ignited, etc. Not to mention Mike Mussina's back-end savvy.
