Rotation Set For Yankees

The Yankees have finally finalized their rotation. CC, AJ, Hughes, Nova, and Garcia will be the nos. 1-5 starters, with Colon as the long man/Garcia's future replacement. That's actually his official title which can't make Garcia particularly at ease with his level of job security. With less than a week left before opening day, the Yankees now have five pitchers upon whom they are depending to get them through May. Yankees officials are secretly hoping for some sort of labor unrest, perhaps a strike in solidarity with the NFLPA, to shorten the season. It's not the best plan, but it's a plan.
