Dandy Andy Retiring

Andy Pettitte will call it quits after 16 major league seasons, 13 spent with the Yanks. One of the most lovable and classy Yankees of the modern era for sure, will in all likely hood be enshrined in Cooperstown when all said and done, with a career of  240 wins and 3.88 ERA.

 This now REALLY puts the Yankee starting rotation in complete disarray with the start of the regular season looming in 2 months. CC and Phil Hughes remain the Yankees only sturdy starting pitchers, leaving the absolute crap shoot of A.J. Burnett, Joba Chamberlain, and Sergio Mitre to perhaps fill out the final 3 spots. The young Ivan Nova however should help the rotation, provided he duplicate his debut season. It's inevitable though the Yankees will call up either Freddy Garcia, Bartolo Colon, or Mark prior whom they all signed this offseason to help bolster the shaky rotation. They're going to need all the help they can get with Boston's new bats lurking in the division.
