River Ave. Blues ยป Pettitte will pitch for the Yankees, or he’ll not pitch at all

Pettitte will pitch for the Yankees, or he’ll not pitch at all

Coaching staff all but in place
The King would like to return

If he’s going to toss a much-needed 200 innings next year, it’s going to be in the Bronx:

“The New York Yankees committed an awful lot of money to me and put it in my hands, gave me a player option and trusted me with that option,” Pettitte said in a story posted on Houston television station KRIV’s Web site. “It probably wouldn’t be real honorable for me not to do anything other than if I shut it down, shut it down or go back and play for the New York Yankees.”

Pettitte said he won’t let the managerial changes for the Yankees figure into his decision.

Sounds like good news all around. It would be tough to see him retiring going into his age 36 season, especially given his effectiveness last year. I’ve read reports that he has another week to decide on his option, though I can’t confirm that.

Honestly, does anyone not want Pettitte back?
