Hi, Yankee 21:wavey:


So, what goes on the rotation front?

I assume Wells will be #4, that leaves Lilly, Hitchcock, and El duque for the five slot?? Are the rumors still flying about Hernandez to the Orioles?

Just wondering

Not a Yankee but a little help from what I have heard....Hitchcock seems to be #5 right now...but I am sure, barring a trade, it will come down to a spring training decision.......

That's kind of what I've been hearing. They didn't sign Hitchcock to be a bullpen guy, but it makes you wonder what Hernandez' reaction will be, if they don't trade him.

OK, this is what I heard:

Clemens #1
Pettite #2
Moose #3
Wells #4
El Duque or Hitchcock #5 if no trade.
I'm like the first four spots. I'd like to see them go back to a 4 man rotation but that's not going to happen.
Personally I'm not at all impressed with Hitchcock, and i'm hoping El Duque is back to his old self but that remains to be seen!
