Rotation To Be Altered?

Via Kat O'Brien -

The Yankees may split up Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy in the rotation following the off-day Monday. Asked if that was under consideration, Girardi smiled and said; "It's a possibility."

It makes sense. Having Mussina, Hughes and Kennedy in a row is a tax on the bullpen. Back in March, I said that you don't want Pettitte and Wang pitching back-to-back. Nothing has changed that opinion for me.

Well, as you know, the rotation ended up like it did because Pettitte was hurt coming out of ST. It definitely needs to change, although for the most part the bullpen has been a pleasant surprise.
