S.O.S. - And I Don't Mean Serving Out Singles By The Kool-Aid Man
With Wang out until May?, we need the team to come together.
Calling all Warriors! Calling all Warriors?
Yankees in trouble....stop....who to start....stop.....Clemens sign please...stop....Karstens as #5....stop...makes Pavano #4....stop...send up Hughes....stop
If A-Rod splits, the Yankees will be in need of a right-handed bat and could go after outfielder Andruw Jones, another Boras client. Room in the Yankees' outfield could be made by not picking up Bobby Abreu's $16 million option for 2008 or by picking it up and trading him a la Gary Sheffield. Melky Cabrera would be a lot cheaper choice to replace Abreu but won't come close to matching A-Rod's power. The Yankees could also use A-Rod's money to keep Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera.
Carl Pavano’s raw numbers this spring have been poor. He has pitched 12 1/3 innings and allowed 25 base runners via hits or walks. His earned run average is 5.84. But he is healthy, he is pitching confidently with his changeup and sinker, and his spot in the rotation is secure. “We’re definitely counting on him,” Manager Joe Torre said. “The spot was his to lose, and he certainly has seized the opportunity. We obviously favored his taking that spot, with everything he’s had to deal with the last couple of years. We’re very pleased with what we’ve seen.” Pavano is slotted fourth in the rotation, and he will probably make one more exhibition start and work on the side before the season opener April 2. His first start would likely be Friday, April 6, against Baltimore at Yankee Stadium.

Is Wang really out until May?
He's on the 15-day DL. However, with the days off in April, which is something like once a week, there is no need right now for 5 starters. The 5th spot only comes up twice in April.
Yankees would be wise to give him some extra time. Better safe than sorry.
