Yankees roster?

Question

Since now that the Yankees have Pettitte, is this going to be their starting rotation?:

Wang..Johnson..Pettitte..Mussina..Igawa

I heard 2 rumors, one being that Proctor will be in the rotation, and the other Pavano. I think Proctor should be in the rotation, he is wasting his time in the bullpen.

Also, do you think that Pettitte will like it so much back in NY, that he will stay for more time after next season?

Also, there is a rumor that Clemens might also come back to NY, since Pettitte came back. Do you think this is true or not?

Now that the pitching is set, how about CF? Johnny Damon, I do respect. He's always sacrificing himself and diving to make the play, but he has the worst arm in the MLB. Melky in CF?

Jeter, ARod, Giambi, Abreu, Damon, Posada. With all of these great power hitters, do you think that the Yanks might acquire one more?

Should ARod be traded after next season? I think his time with the team is done. Melky back in LF? He was great this year.?

Sorry if I couldn't make the starting rotation part clear.

Wang..Johnson..Mussina..Pettitte..Igawa

pettitte and igawa

Answer 1

Everything is falling into place.

Damon played the best CF I've seen at the Stadium in a decade.

Arod will be adequate if he stays near the bottom of the order.

Proctor needs to stay where he's most valuable, in the pen.

Melky will ride the pine until someone gets hurt.

Good chance we'll see the Rocket before trade deadline.

Answer 2

Wang, Mussina, Pettitte, Johnson +1 (Igawa, Poctor, Pavano)

None of the prospects are ready yet.

The lineup will stay the same it is now. Matsui has a full no-trade clause, I can't see him using it.

Clemens might be back, But not for the Yanks. It will be Red Sox or retirement. Clemens will not make his decision because of what Pettitte did. Pettitte's history is in NY, Clemens is in Boston. He will chance legacy, history, and finish his career where it started. And btw, thats the cap he will wear in the HOF.

Wang, Mussina, Pettitte, Johnson, and _______ vs
Schilling, Beckett, Papelbon/Clemens, Matsuzaka and Lester

Should be interesting.

Answer 3

Don't forget that the yankees have signed a japenese pticher who i think might go in the 4 spot...Wang.Petite.Moose. (forget his name since it somethin weird but the japenese kid.) Johnson. Johnsons gettin to old for the game but the yanks cant doin anything with him. What they should do is have their all-star propect who is tearin up the minors come up...Phil Hughes. Leave the offense the way it is. The only probably with the yankees was the pitching. Maybe bring up a kid from the minors (thompson, or Duncan.) Although the problem with Duncan (Shelley not Eric) is hes either hot or cold, meaning that he either gets down on himself or hit HR after HR. If he can work it out and maintain conisstency then the Yankees can have an all-star outfield. Also what you could do is bring them both up, put Shelley at first and have a good first-baseman and power, and put thompson in the outfield who is in the top-ten speedsters in the minors (broke the record for steals in 2004 for his AA club Thunder and is tearin up the AAA Clippers.) The only problem is the amount of rookies on the team.
My team would look like this...

CF Damon
LF Melky
RF Thompson
SS Jeter
3B A-Rod
2B Cano
1B Duncan
C Posada
Starting rotation: Wang, Petite, Hughes, Japenese kid, Moose
Midde Relief: Proctor, Dotel (shouldn't of gotton rid of him,) Johnson, TJ Beam, some others...
Closer: Mo

P.S. Maybe trade Matsui for some good relief or other pitching or keep thompson down and put Matsui in right

Answer 4

That is why they brought him back.

Answer 5

Not better, just older. The Yankees SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
