Offical NY Yankees Baseball Thread - Road Back to Glory

[GonzoStyle]

As far as the starting rotation, you got welles, mussina, pettite and clemens for the 1-4 spots.

That leaves weaver, hitchcock and contreras for that 5th spot. Welles will get injured sometime during the season, as will probably the other two except for Mussina.

Weaver still hasn't proved anything, he showed promise but he's still not a yankee stadium starter yet. Hitchcock is a mid-reliever at his best but can be a decent starter. If Contreras is all he is supposed to be, spring training will somewhat tell, they gotta put him in. What's the point of all the hoopla and backstabbing and fighting to get him, they can't leave him on the bench.

Build weaver up for when clemens retires next year.
