Hey Steve, you're easy to listen to. But I really think you're completely missing the boat on the 'rolling the dice' with the kids. Last year, the Yankees won 94 games, and their only two reliable starters were Wang and Pettitte. So, replace the rest of the junk in the rotation from 2007, and put in Hughes, Kennedy and Chamberlain.

Here, some proof. From starters not named Wang, Pettitte, or Hughes, in 2007, those starters compiled a nice stat line of something like a 6-something ERA. So if you expect the same from Wang, Pettitte, and a 4.50 ERA from Hughes, all the Yankees need is a 6.00 ERA from Kennedy, Chamberlain, Moose and whomever else to match last year! 94 wins! Yet the Yankees are betting the season on the young arms and if they fail the Yankees are sunk. Well, okay. But completely, utterly, false.

Andrew - thanks for the feedback - and for an idea! I'll do a study on just what you have brought up. I should have it posted in the next day or two.
