But Verlander is not yet Koufax or Gibson at their primes, so getting a few runs off him is not impossible. Anyway, it's a question of odds, not certainties. Besides, CC just might give up a couple also. So what's the difference? Could happen. But Verlander is not yet Koufax or Gibson at their primes, so getting a few runs off him is not impossible.

Come playoff time you bring your best out there to face off against their best. Plus by moving Sabathia back to game 2 and 5 you're assuming the series makes it to 5. If we have to match Burnett against Verlander twice that could be two losses there which makes all 3 of the other games must win.

You dont win 100 games and shake up your rotation because your scared of a starter. You dont lack confidence. You shouldnt be afraid of anyone.
