Phil Hughes, rehabbing from a fractured rib, could be two minor-league starts away from providing help to the Yankee rotation. Hughes starts tonight for Triple-A Scranton, and is expected to throw in the area of 60 pitches. His next outing would be an 80-pitch effort. After that it would go to 95. Considering Joba Chamberlain went on the DL yesterday and Ian Kennedy and Dan Giese are starting this week against the Angels in Anaheim, could Hughes make that 95-pitch start in the big leagues? "It's possible," manager Joe Girardi said.

They got Xavier Nady who's tearing it up, hitting 330 and is signed for next year. He's also a right handed batthey badly needed.
Last week everyone's saying how the Yanks "bought" Nady and Marte and saying how dumb the Pirates are. Now Karstens pitches one game and the Yanks are the ones who got nothing and are dumb.
Amazing
Pavano rules

Yeah, I feel you guys. Big deal. If he can keep his ERA under 6, I'll consider it a miracle.
