We need a no. 5 bad

Until Phil Hughes comes back, they'll just have to use Ian Kennedy as the number 5 guy. Once Hughes is back, he'll be the number 4, and probably Rasner at the 5. I know that Hughes struggled earlier this year, but he's a good pitcher, not like Kennedy. I think that once healthy he'll be a legitimate , making Rasner a decent 5. Kennedy and Igawa can both be brought out back of the stadium and shot for all I care. They are both huge disappointments without much upside, espcially Kei Igawa.

As for Boomer, I wouldn't mind giving him a shot, but that's about it. However, the way things have been I'll take just about anybody at the back-end of this rotation. Bring David Cone out of the booth... He's got to be better then what we've seen so far.

look the Yankees need something and quick.  We have two veterans who need to take the youngsters and help them understand that it is not how hard you throw every time it is where you throw every time that metters.  Accuracy then speed.  It is something that has paid off for years and needs to start paying off now.  I am ashamed of the bullpen from the starters to the relievers.  They all need to pay attention to what the heel is going on.  Take a page from the Rockies of last year and the Yankees of the mid 90's:  HAVE FUN and stay loose.  It is a very hard thing to do in NYC especially with Hank all over you like a cheap suit.

Has anyone seen this kid from Japan?  He is what the Yankees need next year.  Shell out the money now and just get ready to sign him before Boston does.

Rich Harden would be great. I'd love to dump some prospects on the A's and get this flamethrower. Kevin Millwood would be cheaper. Daniel Cabrera is just starting to show signs of something there with him.

Enough of this "develop players" philosophy. I want Harden and a RH bat, too. Call me stupid. Call me selfish.

But that's what I want in Pinstripes by the end of July.

Adding a free agent pitcher or bringing up another not ready prospect this year is fruitless.  Your rotation? for lack of a better word is simply one turd you cannot polish. That smell in the air is your beloved Yankees stinking up the joint in last place
