What the fuck are we going to do about a fifth starter?
Do we want to try Papelbon at the starting role despite his great closing?
I'm confused, scared, worried, nervous...help me

You will be OK. The Yankees dont even have decent 3rd starter.

i'm more worried about toronto than the yankees as i've said all year, and after worrying about the AL East I'm worrying about the rotation in the playoffs..

Well once the playoffs start all you really need is 3.5 starters anyway.

Shilling,Beckett,Wakefield and Clement will be plenty.

Shilling and Beckett are about as good in October as anyone.

Baltimore and Toronto are your #1 competition right now. The Yanks could finish as low as 4th.

The Yanks will fix one of their pitching problems once they pay for Clemens at the All-Star break, that will give them two solid starters (Clemens and Mussina). Key will be if they can get a third.

You dont think RJ is pretty decent? I think Mussina will be toast by the ASB.

The JAYS are a major contender.

Great lineup, but check the status of Burnett.

good point fair, but when he gets healthy they'll have a full, very strong squad
