Is he a true ace? No. But he's won 19 games the last two years and we know he can pitch in NY. We'd be dumb if we didn't lock him down to be a #2 or #3 for years to come.

Do you know how much money Yankees will have to pay Wang if Wang go on FA this off-season?I know most of you guys want to throw Wang out of window after this playoff,but He won 72% of his starts at his career so far.You can say all you want about run support.Wang doesn't win all his games because of offense,he has almost 3.5 ERA in the AL East and give Yankees a chance to win almost every time out.You can say all you want how good Santana is,but the truth of matter is Santana career ERA against AL East close to 4.I don't mean Wang is better than Santana,but don't sell Wang low.In my opinion,this playoff is good experience for Wang young career because it set up for failure for him from the beginning.Wang had 7-days rest for game 1 on the road and then 3-days rest for game 2.After this year,he will know how to deal with that.Wang's work ethic, toughness,low-keyed personality and the ability to deal with pressure are without question.That's why I will choose to give Wang before Cano if I have to choose one of them.You guys all see what happen to Pavano.Personality sometimes play an important role when you decide to give a player long term contract.

And I do think 10 years is too long for Arod.
