Do people not see major pitching issues with this team? Sabathia is a stud no question, but the rest of the rotation? Garcia and Colon were really good 5-10 years ago. Garcia's ERA the last 4 years is 4.75. Burnett despite a solid start this season has been a bigtime bust & Nova/Hughes, although young, haven't shown much.
It just shocks me that they are such public favs despite the fact they are normally on the wrong side of the most important aspect of baseball capping, starting pitching.
They certainly have the potential to explode offensively but with Jeter/Arod/Posada aging it hard to back a team unless you think they're gonna score at least 6 in every game.
BTW, I was on CC last night and haven't played them at all this year so its not like I'm bitter. Once Red Sox start hitting (they're pitching has come around) they'll take that division.

Red Soxs rotation has just started slow . That Yankee rotation isn't very impressive. I even think the Blue Jays have a better rotation than the Yanks.

High and Tight, its looking inside the current numbers.
Would you rather have Burnett/Colon/Garcia/Nova or Lester/Bucholtz/Lackey/Dice-K?
Check back here in a few months and you'll see Yankees starting pitching struggling and them looking to acquire a starter at the trade deadline.
I really could care less of the names. I want production. We both agree proof is in the pudding.
However Sox with those big names ranked 20th last year in team era and are ranked 20th this year. That to me would be unnaceptable for what I expect out of them.
One team is underachieving the other well lets see how it pans out.
BTW I am a DBack homer so dont get me wrong. I have no attachment with the Yanks.
The one good thing is I can actually find a few spots to play on Yanks this year because the chalk is reasonable enough.
