2010 Rotation - Santana Who?

Joba Chamberlain
Phil Hughes
Dellin Betances
Wang
Ian Kennedy

This rotation in 2010 is very posible. I truley believe that as long as Betances stays healthy he very well could become our ace and with Hughes and Joba, The Yanks could have 3 possible aces for the next decade. I know this is still a long shot, but Joba has already shown he has the stuff and the composure and I believe if Hughes regains his velocity he had before his injury he can also be ace material. I truly believe that Dellin Betances has the highes ceiling of these three. He has three plus pitches at 19 and already throws 98 with very good command. At 6'9 230 lbs. he will be a presence without even throwing a pitch and combine that with his raw talent and a face of stone, this kid could be very special.
"Betances went 0-1 with a 1.16 ERA in seven starts in rookie ball with the Gulf Coast League Yankees last season, striking out 27 in 231/3 innings and allowing just three earned runs. He showed flashes of why the million dollar bonus was a solid investment - both Newman and a scout who saw Betances in Tampa said the righty hit 98 mph on the radar gun in a start in last August."
"Coaches, scouts and team officials salivate over the 19-year-old righthander's potential. One scout gushes over his progress and predicts he'll be with the big club by 2010."
Needless to say I am very excited about a future concerning our rotation. Even though I love the idea of Santana in our rotation, we don't need him.

what about cano

i've been very happy and excited with the play of robinson cano so far this year and expect big things from him now and in the future. I'm interested in what all you yanks out their think about cano and what type of player, defensively and offensively he will mature into in the future. So far his offense has been very impressive, but his fielding could use improving, however he's a gold glover compared to Soriano. I'm happy we got rid of soriano although i felt differently at the time. I believe cano is a much better fit for the yanks and its nice to see a player unable to hold back a smile after he gets a hit. cano has been a breath of fresh air.

giambi's really back

Just wanted the opinions of you yankee fans, So Giambi got the comeback player of the year award last year as we all know. I feel that Giambi can and will produce big numbers over the entire season. I feel he can put up numbers like
280 AVG.
40 HRS
120 RBI's
over .400 OBP
What do you guys think? I feel besides Arod that Giambi can put the next best power numbers on the team, espeically with his OBP and walks.

ozzie

-with regarding ozzie he is a disgrace for always opening his mouth and sounding like a uneducated idiot. He has no right to bash the best player in baseball when he was barely a average player who never intimidated a pitcher in his life. Arod has the right to take as long as it takes to decide on what he was going to do regarding the WBC. I also feel passion for my heritage and can relate to Arod taking his time on a very important issue. Just because you were'nt born in the country your heritage decended from doesn't mean you should forget who you are and where you came from. Arod's last name is a direct connection to his heritage and always will be. If Ozzie really feels that Arod isn't Dominican, I guess Arod should change his last name and his parents and grandparent. If Ozzie agrees with his oringinal statement then he should jump on a raft and get out of this great country. Ozzie should focus on learning better english and the history of this country that has been so generous to him before knocking any YANKEE. I have no respect for idiot ozzie and i look forward to the yankees beating on them this year. get some class idiot ozzie-
