I'd provide further commentary on this, but I've been warned about using expletives on this site before.

That Yankees Rotation appears to be getting more and more suspect and thinner and thinner.

Where's A.J. Burnett when you need him?

Still, C.C. and Nova is a solid #1 and #2, which is more than many teams have. I wish we would've kept Colon instead of Garcia. It was obvious that Garcia was throwing junk and getting lucky, whereas Colon had really good stuff (in the first half of the season at least).

Time for "the savior" Andy Pettitte to show up and the save the day (sarcasm).

Just think, if he had stayed as a Seattle Mariner he wouldn't have gotten injured and he would still be going strong!

And you know this, how?

The Back to the Future split timeline theory.

Of course, it's also possible Pineda could have been mauled by a rabid wolverine if he stayed in Seattle. :P

But seriously, it sucks when injuries like this happen.

[Edgartohof]

It does suck for Pineda (and the Yankees too I guess).

But it sure seems to make that trade for Montero look pretty good right now, as he is hitting .400 over the last 4 games and .300 over the past 16 games.

CC hasn't exactly been the most dominant. Nova gets great great run support every time he pitches. And well the Rest are......

CC is a better pitcher with a better track record than anyone on the Rays. He has his shaky outings, but by the end of the season his numbers are phenomenal every single year, especially for pitching in Yankee Stadium and against the AL East.

Past team success.

Ummmm Really? Oh were in 1st by the way. Sheilds and price both have ERA's under 3 now While CC has an ERA where? Ya......

[Yankeefan3783]

It's a tough break for the Yankees and Pineda. Hopefully he comes back from this injury and lives up to expectations. I don't think we can really judge the Montero for Pineda trade until their careers play out a little more. Maybe 4-5 years from now. I still think it will end up being a good trade for both teams.

CC DOES have a better track record than Shields and Price because he's been around longer.

Four Washington Nationals starters all have ERAs under 1.60. What's your real point?

[Thatguyoverthere]

In the AL, I'd probably only take Verlander, Hernandez, and Weaver over Sabathia right now, but doesn't it concern anyone else how poorly he's performed in the playoffs? He's been in the playoffs five times now, and has only pitched well in one of those years (granted, the Yankees did win the title that year). I know it's not a huge sample size, but 15 starts and 86 innings is pretty large for a playoff sample (Heck, it's almost half a season of starts), and that 1.616 WHIP and 4.8 BB/9 aren't pretty.
