Well, one of the things Pettitte always brought was stability. We didnt need ace performance from him since he's returned. We've needed a guy who can take the bump 30 times a yr and give us above average performance. Well, this yr has been the anti-Andy yr. He's been very, very good, but fragile. He'll be 39 next yr, and he is set to miss 8 weeks in his yr 38 season. How durable will he be next season? That's the thing. Nova is ready to make the jump. Brackman, Phelps, Mitchell, Noesi and Warren will be in AAA. Betances, Banuelos, Stoneburner, Garcia, and Bleich should be in AA. That is a deep 10, even if two are coming off surgery (Bleich and Garcia). At some point, you gotta give em a chance
