As the Yankees behind preparing for the regular season they bring in one of the best pitchers who put on the pinstripes. Andy Pettitte has done many great things for the Yankess and Cashman has faith in him that he will continue to do the same as before. In his career he is 240-138 with over 2,000 strikeouts and an era of 3.8 Pettitte who is 39 and hasn't pitched since 2010, so time will tell. Giradi is worried about his legs but he has been training in Texas so that will give him an advantage. Ivan Nove and Phil Hughes are going to be worried for their place in the roar action too. If we could have everyone in the roataion we would be unstoppable. Pettite has thrown 8 of 9 bullpens and all have been impressive. Russell Martin says he's been one of the best in training. In 2012 he is projected to pitch about 130 innings or so and have. 8-7 record. Pertite's invitation to spring traing does not mean he is on the team though. If he makes it he will a get a one year 2.5 million dollar contract. Cashman's excited for him because he will help our rotation and
Pettitte is just as excited to get going. Now all we have to hope for is that we get old Andy back and he can dominate like he has years before.
I used to love the team back when Andy Pettitte was pitching. That was when I used to follow baseball all of the time. Maybe I would start paying more attention to games again if they started bringing back some of the old guys.
