Can they all pitch well befor the hypotheticals start turning up? Wang could probably get you a bag of balls if you wanted to trade him right now.

Can they all pitch well befor the hypotheticals start turning up?

But Posada is a hall of famer offensive catcher who ain't exactly Mike Piazza behind the dish. Smile and be glad we've had him for all these years.

Hold on a second. What if, over the next month or so, Hughes is lights out, and Joba is a notch below? </strong> It'd be a nice problem to have. But, those two are the only ones in the equation. A lot of this hinges on Wang. When he comes back up, I'm sure they'll keep Hughes on for at least a start in case Wang can't get it straight. But, I'd say the fact that Chamberlain started the year with the team and Hughes didn't means they'd be more likely to hang on to Chamberlain in the rotation instead of Hughes. <strong>If Hughes is 4-1, wih a 2.85 ERA, then gets sent back to Scranton, the Yankees should have their fucking collective heads checked!</strong> Sure. And if Chamberlain is 4-2 or 3-2 or whatever with a 3.85, sending him down would be just as stupid. Either way, that's a hypothetical and the chances that Phranchise out-pitches Joba are not in his favor, even with the way he pitched last night. It's going to be a problem if the both of them pitch well, but it's a problem I'll be happy to have. Regardless of who gets sent down, I think I'll be alright with it 'cause it means that someone's pitching well; hell, maybe Wang'll suck again or still be hurt and Joba and Phil will get to stay. Gotta love depth, huh? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second. What if, over the next month or so, Hughes is lights out, and Joba is a notch below?
