5. wang.....good pitcher in the 4-5 slot
6. wright....expeiment gone wrong, needs another year in the minors.
7. pavano.... about to have tommy john, done for the year.
so thats the starting pitchers on the yankees 40 man roster, common sense shows he will fit for the season.
and its VERY different from the randy johnson signing, since that was a multi year deal with a pitcher known for his back problems and non personality

Mike, Wang was second in Cy Young voting last year, and almost threw a perfect game the other day. IMO, the rotation is:
1. Clemens
2. Wang
3. Petite
4. Moose
5. Someone else – one of the kids or igawa.
Hughes will be out at least 8 weeks, and then likely head back to the minors. He is the #1 pitching prospect in baseball and the Yanks will go back to protecting him, at least for a while.
Clemens <> RJ. Clemens has proven he can handle NY, which a lot of players never do. It’s ain’t like playing in Kansas City or Arizona. Plus RJ had a track record of health issues (back, knees) prior to coming to NY. Not Clemens.
You guys also forget that teams get insurance contracts on these guys. They will likely be getting money back on Carl ‘never pitching for the Yanks again’ Pavano. So there is some house money there. (recovery from TJ surgery = 18 months, which would be Dec 08, contract expired)
Wow, if all ‘has beens’ had
these numbers, I’d love to be a ‘has been’.

And I am not sold on Boston’s pitching, either.
