Even if Nova and Mitre are twice as good as Hughes and Joba were in 2008, the Yankee rotation is in lots of trouble. Giving two rotation spots to two completely unaccomplished rookie kids will be a disaster in the AL East, regardless of the bullpen. The Sox have an All Star lineup. The guys in Toronto can hit with tons of power, and the Oriole lineup will be much improved with Derek Lee, Mark Reynolds, a full season of Roberts, and Wieters with a year of experience. The Rays lineup is still pretty good. The Yankee bullpen arms will be like limp noodles by August 1st.
