B) They are ignored. Brian Cashman has demonstrated over the past few years, he's perfectly content doing what he thinks is right and giving the middle finger to Francesa and The Post and the Daily News and all the other idiot blowhards and chatterboxes (and the legions of idiots who call into talk radio) who second-guess and are invariably wrong.

If the Yankees don’t add a reliever, I think it definitely adds pressure to keep Joba or Huges in the bullpen.

I would rather eschew Halladay and Lackey and enter 2010 with a quasi-six man rotation of CC, AJ, Andy, Harden, Joba and Hughes. Off the top of my head, CC and AJ would pitch every 5th day (say 65 starts), Andy would have 4 or 5 breaks in the season (28 starts), Joba and Harden would each go about 25 times each and Hughes would give you 20 starts mixed in with some bullpen time. Not only does having six guys help you protect the young (particularly Hughes, who will have an innings limit) and old/injured, but it also gives you depth if someone goes down (Pettitte, Harden and Joba could all be pushed a little harder if needed).
