I had no idea those two guys could perform that well at this level. Having a lineup with the 9-1-2-3 being Gardner, Damon, Jeter and Abreu - well that's a lot of OBP and speed to put in front of A-ROD and Robby Cano (who they have to move up in the order). Also, not that my opinion means much, but if he stays healthy I would shocked if Darrell Rasner does not make quite a few starts for the Bombers.

He's a good announcer and seems to like the Yankees. Best Sutcliffe moment by far, though, was when he got HAMMERED and stumbled his way into the announcer booth at a San Diego Padres game was was mumbling about golf, booze and bangin bitches. That little episode got him suspended for a little bit from ESPN. Good to see he's back. Yea, I like Sutcliffe a lot. He’s a good announcer and seems to like the Yankees.

Rasner, Karstens...whatever. Patterson deserves that spot. I don't know that he would be an effective long man, but I really think he would dominate in short relief.
