Not really. Pettitte was pretty solid to start the yr off. His WHIP was 1.33 through the ASB and he had an ERA of 4.03. It was the end of the yr that he tailed off, which was uncharacteristic of him and was blamed on injury. Now I assume a physical and an MRI are in order prior to finalizing this deal. If those come back clean, then this is a steal of a deal. The way this rotation is built, Pettitte doesnt need to be a 4.05ERA pitcher like he was in 07. We just need a guy capable of giving us 200IP of sub 5 ERA.

Pettitte pitched 204 innings last season, but he was 2-7 with a 6.23 earned run average in his last 11 starts. That brought his final record to 14-14. His 4.54 E.R.A. was his highest since 1999.
Yet Pettitte is only 36 -- a year older than Derek Lowe, who got a four-year, $60 million deal from Atlanta and Cashman said he was surprised at the positive medical reports he got on Pettitte's tired shoulder. Pettitte said he has worked this winter to strengthen it.
"I got a clean bill of health from the Yankees' doctors," Pettitte said. "I knew I wouldn't need any surgery, and my shoulder, structurally, looked very sound."

Re: Pettitte REJECTS offer!
It is a good deal for the Yanks
Pettitte is a durable guy so theres no need to put into bold on his medical reports. But Curt did pass a physical before the 2008 season, that turned out nicely

Im not wishing for injury, every single rotation has question marks. That cant be denied. A lot of things have to go right (2004 Sox is rare team to have any of the 5 starters go on the DL). Hell Lowe who was abysmal during the season, was a force in the playoffs

This post exemplifies that some take this stuff way to personal! We...you...more than figurative to be sure. 
Here's a better way to look at it....may the best team win, but if it is the Yankees, please enjoy your team's victory in the proper perspective.
