   Wang! Hughes! Yes!

   Excellent news indeed that both Wang and Hughes are on the mound preparing. It will be interesting to see how Girardi sets the rotation. I’d like to see Wang as the #2. He’s every bit as good, if not better, than AJ. There’s no need to bruise his ego by dropping him to #3.

   Yeah Hughes added “10 pounds of muscle”. Guess he will be in for a bounce-back year. Color me suspicious of this guy already.

   Drive I don’t think it will hurt his ego, rotation numbers after 1 don’t always mean who is better

   Rotation is going to be:
   CC
   AJ
   Wang
   Pettitte
   Chamberlain

   I like the diversity of the rotation. Sinker baller, finesse, power. You can’t ask for more.

   Nah – CC/Wang/AJ/Pettitte/Joba works better. Got the power of CC followed by the heavy sinker’d Wang and then the destroyer AJ followed by crafty Pettitte followed by assassin Joba.

   Nice mix.

   “Yeah Hughes added “10 pounds of muscle”.

   Exactly how do you add 10 lbs of muscle in 4 months legally? It is probably mostly just water weight.

   As for these guys who say they saw nothing with regards to steroids, that is BS. When I was in high school in the 80’s, Newsday did a story on how hard Lenny Dykstra had worked in the offseason, and came to ST having put on 25 lbs of muscle in @ 3 months. As a 16 year old not in the game, I knew he had to have used steroids to do that. How can these professional athletes, owners, and coaches say that they didn’t see or suspect anything?

   Some of you need to stop. It’s not abnormal to put 10 pounds of muscle on in the off-season. What’s not normal is 30 pounds of muscle. 10 is reasonable.

    Baseball enjoyed greater financial reward as a result of these artificially-stimulated behemoths with bats going up against MLB pitching. Why not turn a blind eye/deaf ear/whatever to what was happening around them?

    Plus it gives the other-than-Pete ‘mediots’ something to write about during slow baseball news season.

    When Wang got hurt running bases I knew the Yanks were done, hoping go a healthy and succesful year

    I’ll just use the same crayon that I use to color “stupid”.

    10 lbs of muscle also probably means 6-7 lbs of muscle and 3-4 lbs of fat. I mean how would pete rly know if it was a legit 10 lbs of muscle?
