So last year I felt like Pettite should have retired after the '09 season, going out on top as the winner of the World Series clinching game. Boy was I wrong. Prior to his injury, Pettite had a killer year. Now he is holding Yankee Universe hostage. Until we know his position on retirement, we don't know just how much we need Lee, or how much we're going to have to look internally for rotation positions.
Now we hear that he's leaning towards retirement. That means that in the event that we do not get Lee, we're looking at Sergio Mitre and Ivan Nova as our 4 and 5 pitchers. That could be the killer for the Yankees in the stacked east, and we may be looking at a second or third place finish and miss the playoffs all together.
