What hangs in the balance is what the team will make for offseason moves and the health of Hughes.

That would be a trick. I think they all play in the NL. If the dodgers can squeak in to the playoffs their rotation could put them past the Mets. The Cubs look like a pretty potent post season team right now. One the short series start two front of the rotation pitchers can carry a team. It seems like offense can get you there but you need shut down pitching to win the world series. That has been the Yankees problem, not the absence of chemistry or homegrown talent. I think Joba is a step in that direction. Maybe Wang or Hughes will get back in time, or Moose could keep dealing. Tank

He also doesn't or at least hasn't shown that he can hit left handed pitchers. He doesn’t hit for any power and he doesn’t steal bases well enough to be a singles hitter.

He's a tough out in the lineup that's for sure, especially in situational hitting and that goes for Kepp. too.
