Oh, yeah… the Yankees Rotation
September 6, 2004
Larry Mahnken reminded me to write an entry about the state of the Yankees rotation for the postseason. But, he did such a good job and reflects my opinion so well, that I’ll just defer to him:
People are talking about the Yankees’ remaining postseason rotation as if it’s the worst ever assembled. Mike Mussina and Javier Vazquez haven’t pitched well this year, but they’re not bad pitchers. They do have the ability to dominate, they’ve done it for several years in the past. They can do it in the postseason. Will they? I don’t know, but they very well could, so don’t tear your hair out over it. I have much more confidence in a Duque/Moose/Vazquez/Lieber postseason rotation than most people. They don’t need to be great, they just need to be good enough, and that they can be.
