The Yankees have the best rotation in baseball Yay or Nay

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Joba should def not be a starter, he alongside Mariano makes games 7 innings long for the opponent.

 

[mez 0ne]

Boston's staff won championships, gimme a break.

You're delusional if you think otherwise, Burnett would be the #4-5 starter on the Red Sox.

How is Boston's rotation not better?

A healthy Josh Beckett isn't far behind CC and Jon Lester is better than any other pitcher on the Yankee staff, and if Matsuzaka continues to pitch like hedid last year, he's better than Wang/Burnett too...

We got the Rotation game on lock.

 

[onewearz]

who cares, lets see face to face and then i'll judge ..........

 

[fenixconnexion]

move joba to the bullpen
as long as everyone stays healthy (wang and burnett), that's a deadly starting rotation

Not the Lester of last season. Their rotation is what failed them, while they are thought to have more potiental we have not seen it yet.

 

[airvandal180]

It's not better than the Cubs or the Red Sox.

No comment in response to the last # of posts.
We'll just see what happens during the season.

The Yankees have the 3rd best rotation in the AL East. This thread is a joke, right?

You might have the best grammar on NT.

[bmw 7 series]

Yeah on paper it is the best, we just have to see if they can produce on the mound.

And also if Wang can return to form, Burnett and Joba can stay off the DL, Pettitte comes back and Hughes can showthat he can pitch effectively in the majors.

 

[scuse7]

No way I would rather have Joba pitch the 8th then start.

 

[mco85]

If they all stay healthy they should put Joba in the bullpen

Am i the only person that thinks AJ burnett sucks? Dude is pretty much a career .500 pitcher and allows 4 runs a game. Dude is garbage

Curt Schilling said he has the best "stuff" in all of baseball. But yeah, dude is wildly inconsistent/injury-prone. He's only pitched 200 inningsin a season 3 times.

Not that he sucks, just how he's not worth 5 years, $81 million in my opinion because of the fact that he is very injury prone and has pitchedonly 200 innings in 3 seasons.

4 runs a game? No.

In his 3 years in Toronto..... he averaged....
6.5 IP per start
2.85 runs given up per start

6 IP-----3 ER = "quality start" in baseball

I'm assuming you mean in one season.... since he pitched 523 IP in 3 years in Tor

 

[JD617]

His ERA for those 3 years in Toronto was 3.94. That's not very good.

 

[baby juice]

CC will be a $100+ million bust.

Dude pitched for his life in Milwaukee.

 

[jordan23les]

i would have to agree

I can't say I've been excited. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have CC on board (Burnett

)...but if the last number of years are an indicator as to how these big timefree agents will work out in NY, then it's going to be the same story with these guys...

The Yankees will be kicking themselves for signing Burnett for 5 ++*%$+# years. Ridiculous...

I disagree but alright.
And

@ Boston's being better.

How is that humorous? They're right...the Yankees have the best team on paper every...single...year. Most of these experts pick the Yankees towin the WS each year. I don't need to tell you how their predictions end up turning out...

Point blank, the Yankees can sign all these guys they want but until they go out and prove it on the field, they'll still remain the best team on paper.
