Pettitte looking sharp
Has anyone seen Pettitte these days? His fastball is a notch slower than it was when he was here before (sitting right around 90-91 now when he was a 92-94 guy when he left), but his curveball is much better and his changeup has emerged. To go along with his already solid cutter, he has 4 damn good pitches. He doesnt have the heat he used to, but he is a better pitcher right now and it should be nice to have Andy in this rotation. He is damn near untouchable right now.

Re: Pettitte looking sharp
his elbow is fine. He led the league in starts over the past 2 yrs. He'll hold up.

Jesus Christ. If a Red Sox fan made this type of thread about a Sox player you'd say "Calm down it's only Spring Training"

Re: Pettitte looking sharp
It is just nice to see this guy back in yankee colors. But his stuff looks good.

Re: Pettitte looking sharp
Was Clemens there again, watching his boy pitch?

Re: Pettitte looking sharp
Pavano looked like crap. He and Igawa are a little scary at the back end of the Yankee rotation.

Like I've said before, their offense is going yo have to bail them out of a ton of games every 4th and 5th day. |

Pavano allowed no earned runs, yet he allowed 3 UER. I remember that about Pavano. He did alright if you had solid D, but he fucking crumbles when an error was made. Fantastic quality to have in a starter. Man I hate that guy. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Karstens took one of those spots. |

Torre already said Pavano and Igawa will have the spots out of camp. Doesnt mean a ton though, as the yankees 5th starter will only get 2 starts for the first 4 weeks of the season. Pavano will be the 4th starter out of the chute because he needs regular starts. Igawa may be a long reliever/spot starter out of the gate and then Pavano's performance could cause Karstens/Hughes/Ohlendorf to nab the 4 and push Igawa into the 5. |

Re: Pettitte looking sharp
AAA for Hughes, mid-season call-up is what I've heard.
The kid looks good, but hopefully he will get a case of Pavano-itis and his gynecologist will keep him out down the stretch.
