THE 6 MAN ROTATION

All I'm hearing these days is that the Yankees are worried about keeping all of there young arms around the 180 inning mark, and they are worried about burning their arms because they are just still a bunch of kids. You know what? I agree with this mindset. They should keep them fresh and let them develop properly. As a matter a fact Buster Olnley just reported that The Yanx are prepared to start Joba out of the pen this year.With the "JOBA RULES " still in effect. Just for the sole reason of keeping his innings down.

I was thinking about it yesterday, If the Yankees want to keep there young arms fresh and still have them be effective and at the same time keep the bullpen fresh and effective there is a logical answer which would be a controversial one at best. Why don't they try a 6 man rotation?

Which would look something like this.

Wang:

Pettite:

Joba:

Hughes:

Kennedy:

Mussina:

Before you guys jump down my throat think about it. All the youngsters would get around 30 starts instead of 35 which would limit there innings at least 25 to 30 innings less.

If the starters are more fresh they go deeper into games then the bullpen stays fresh and more effective and we don't have to worry about a very tired bullpen by the all star break.

All I'm saying is I think it should be in the thought process and shouldn't be disregarded just because its an unpopular thing to do.

Although I know its never going to happen . Its worth discussing.

SAM I AM'S VIEW ON ROIDS

Now that the smoke is beginning to clear and things are simmering down from the "Mitchell Report" .

I would like to give you my views on the whole steroid and performance enhancing drug scandal.

In my honest opinion i think at least 80 percent of the league is on something was on something and always will be on something. as long as theres a way to gain an advantage an advantage will be gained. legal or not but its sad to say but all they want is that one big contract then they will be satisfied.I'm not saying that I wouldn't do it myself if I were in there shoes. Think about it would you???be honest with yourself.

The players are always going to be 3 steps ahead of the league theres always going to be something that the league wont know about for example the league is testing for roids so the players were on HGH and guess what the league is still having trouble detecting it.its a never ending revolving door. There isn't a player in the entire MLB that i don't suspect . from Derek Jeter to Jose Reyes. And to tell you the truth I'm not so against it. It should be legalized. It should be USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. It doesn't affect the fans. all it does is make the game more enjoyable to watch. If all the players are better than the game is better. but thats just my opinion (not a very popular one )

I'm going to start up the hot stove reports soon i promise but first i would like to discuss the topic.
