Members of the organization are questioning if Wang should be #2 and dismissing him as #3. Wang is 46-15 with a 3.74 ERA and losing him was a major part of the meltdown last season. There's no question in my mind that he, along with CC, are the 2 main cornerstones of the rotation. AJ Burnett is too unproven and does not have the career record to showcase consistency. It's a new stage for AJ. Wang is a proven commodity.
Derek Lowe, a month ago rumored to be high on the wish list, may actually end up in New York but with the Mets.
Still no updates on Pettitte. Is he going to be the odd man out? I honestly am thrilled with the rotation even with Hughes. He's had strong winterball results and Bill James penciled him in a 3.35 ERA. There's no doubt Phil has good stuff.
