Carl Pavano scratched from start - Page 2 - Talksox

This guy needs to be traded. We could use a better back up catcher, though the Yankees would have to package him with someone else for that.

Well.... Im sorry this is too easy

jacksonianmarch · 04-15-2007, 04:09 PM

we cannot be trading pitching until things solidify. Pavano will be back, unless he decides to get head in his porsche again, that is.

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.

What I like is that by May 1 all of our pitchers should be back. God willing.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting out in an earlier post. Although thinks look bleak there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

"For one reason or another, these things happen," Pavano said. "I've been through this before. I've just got to keep working. We're going to get on top of this, and we'll do what it takes. I'm going to get back out there."

As much as I want to believe him, I just don't think I can.

So the probables for the weekend series would be:

Schilling-Pettitte
Beckett-Karstens
Matsuzaka-Wright

?

I'm not sure about the Sox starters, but that's the way I see the Yankees rotation.

Oh, I should also mention that Kim Jones said on the pregame that there's a chance that the Saturday start might go to Wang instead of Karstens. That would be a desperate move in my opinion, considering the Yankees were saying they wanted to give him two starts and he wouldn't be able to make another start if they did that. If they did do that, I'm not sure if that means Karstens would start Sunday, but I wouldn't expect to see Wang anyways.

If the Sox games are played from tomorrow until the series with the Yanks at Fenway, then those will be the Sox starters.

Coco's Disciples · 04-15-2007, 08:14 PM

If I were the Yankees I wouldn't rush back Wang for the Sox series. It's just April, the game counts the same as all others. I'd rather have him there for 5 months healthy than that start and the injury to come back up.

**schillingouttheks** · 04-15-2007, 08:15 PM

As a Sox fan, I don't want to see Wang either. So, I hope the Yankees are thinking the same way

I doubt you will. Wang returning on the 24th makes a lot more sense.

not true. A Yankees-Sox game counts for 2 games in the standings. You blow a sox game you are down 1 game to them, you win it, you are up one game. It is the only time where there is a 2 game swing in the standings depending on the outcome.

Fair point...
