Once Chien-Ming Wang left yesterday’s game in the sixth after pointing to his shoulder, this post was inevitable. The Yanks will have a few decisions to make in the next few days. They’ll need a spot starter this Thursday in Minnesota, but then won’t need him again until July ...
The Problem with Chien Ming Wang
puristbleedspinstripes.com 6/11/2009 — Let me explain the problem the Yankees' have with Chien Ming Wang in as simple terms as I can: 1). Chien Ming Wang is not pitching well after coming off the DL, which he went on ostensibly for a hip/foot thing, but more likely that he had an ERA of nearly 35. He has not made it out of the fifth ...
Wang, Hughes and the Yanks’ final rotation spot
riveraveblues.com 6/6/2009 — Through seven starts and 34.2 innings, Phil Hughes ‘ season numbers are nothing special. The Yanks’ promising young right-hander may be 3-2, but he sports a 5.45 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. Those numbers, though, do not tell the entire story: ...
Alf Lands In The Rotation

The Saga of Phil Hughes and the Yankees Bullpen
advancedfantasybaseball.com 6/5/2009 — He was supposed to be the new ace of the New York Yankees.

How Reactivating Chien Ming Wang Messed With Phil Hughes
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/13/2009 — Recently, I've been seeing a lot of posts suggesting that to solve the rotation problems, the Yankees should move Phil Hughes back from the bullpen to the rotation.

Girardi Throwing Yankees Pitching Staff into Chaos
nybaseballdigest.com 6/11/2009 — As mentioned many times before on this site, Chien Ming Wang was referred to as the “occasional ace” by my Sunday co-host Howard Megdal.

Hughes in Pen a Bullish Problem (Score One for Bad Puns!)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 6/27/2009 — Let me make something clear, before I get into the meat of this post: Long term, Phil Hughes is a starter.

Matsui a big hit in return to DH —
NYDailyNews.com - Baseball 7/6/2009
While the rest of the Yankees starters had virtually the same number of at-bats in NL parks, Hideki Matsui had just six at-bats over nine interleague road games, registering just a single hit. But for Matsui, a return to AL games has done the trick.
