A three-man rotation makes sense
It's About The Money - A New York Yankees Blog —
Good to hear Girardi's considering this:
“We are definitely considering going to a three-man rotation in this round.”
A week ago, I commented about keeping Joba in the 'pen. I still think that's true. And at the time I wrote that, I was OK with Chad Gaudin as the 4th starter in the ALCS. I'm still OK with that, conceptually, but I like the idea of Big Ole CC working on three days rest even better.
Starting CC on three days' rest isn't a big concern in my eyes. He's a horse who wasn't overworked this year. He's seemingly ready to ...
