Yankees Chien Ming Wang Should Be Thought of As Top Tier..in the Regular Season

 
When you are asked to name the top pitchers in the Majors, who would you name? Johan, Jake Peavy, Josh Beckett, C.C.

A Yankee fan, maybe, but then some Yankee fans don't trust him because of his post season performances.

Since coming up in 2006, no pitcher has won more games then Wang. Think about that, all the guys I named above and Wang has won the most. You may say that's a credit to his offense.

Team Leaders: AL East

George Sherrill, acquired in the Bedard-Jones swap, ranks slightly behind Joakim Soria in the “woah, look at that!” group of closers. He’s sure to lose a little luster when the Orioles stop winning at an .833 clip, but Sherrill may be a very cheap source of 25 saves.
