So take me through this again? WHY did the Yankees resign Pettitte? Now they have 7 pitchers trying to fill 5 spots: Sabathia, Kuroda, Nova, Hughes, Pineda, Garcia and Pettitte. Let's say the Yankees get there wish and move Hughes and Pineda to Triple-A to start the season. Garcia's currently a little banged up, Sabthia and Kuroda are locks for the rotation. And what can we realistically expect from Pettitte? He hasn't pitched in almost a year and a half. Maybe if he came back in June/July a la Roger Clemens I could understand it. Furthermore, when can we expect him to be a part of the rotation. April? Not likely. May, June? I like Pettitte, don't get me wrong. I'm just confused by the signing.
