Should they let john lester for the red sox start in a majors game this year?
Ya its great. We will get to make fun of the Yanks for an entire season.What about the White Sox pitching?
They really do need a big time pitcher if they want to make it to the World Series. Kei Igawa pitched awful, Carl Pavano pitched awful, Andy Pettitte pitched awful, and so did Mike Mussina. I bet they didn't trade Randy Johnson to Arizona.The pitching cannot get any worse than it was for the first five games. The only starter who went five innings was Igawa, and that was because they needed him to go five to save the bullpen. The starters haven't been good at all, but the bullpen has been GREAT! I wouldn't panic yet. They rotation got all messed up when Pettitte hurt his back and Wang went on the DL. Once they get out of the cold weather and on a regular schedule, the pitching will be much better. Pettitte and Mussina are proven winners, Wang will be back, and that means that Rasner will be gone. That leaves Pavano and Igawa. Cashman made some trades this winter and brought in a lot of good young pitchers who throw hard. If some of these guys like the last two don't pan out, you will see Hughes, Clippard, Sanchez (one of the guys they got for Sheffield), Ohlendorf or Jackson (two guys they got for Johnson). The Yankees finally have some pitching depth this year, and a lot of young guys who are ready. If Pettitte, Mussina, and Wang can pitch well, they'll be OK until the young guys come up. It's going to be a good year, just hang in there.
How successful are submarine pitchers?
I guarantee you they are going to compete even of the staff stays as it is. Thinking otherwise is just stupid , moronic, Oh the Cardinal staff was so great last year right genius. You think Mussina and Pettite are going to pitch badly all year? It is the first week . Wang is solid and will be back soon. What team has great pitching? None that I can think of . If you do not think that this is a playoff bound team you are an idiot or a Red Sox fan or both . They have the best closer in the history of baseball they essentially play 8 inning games . Add to the fact that the Yankee offense is not a normal offense, when everyone is healthy they have a 340 hitter batting ninth. I would love to hear who you think is going to compete in the AL EAST. So stupid.Will Braves Wins National League East?
i agree, i wonder if kei igawa will show how good he is in the middle and end of the season, cause itshis 1st time in america, and an mvp in japan, so wait till the end of the season, but what about the alex rodriguez grand slam homerun!What happened to all of the Nationals players?
If they continue to pitch the way that they are pitcihing then I can assure you that the Yankees are gonna be in for a long year.More Questions & Answers...
