Rotoworld:
Jaret Wright was lit up by the Pirates on Monday, surrendering eight runs and 11 hits in three innings.
"It was a real tough day," he said. "Physically, I feel fine. It's just like a dead day. I didn't have anything. It seemed like everything I threw was hitting speed. I got beat up pretty good." What little chance the Yankees had of finding a taker this spring for a portion of Wright's contract may have disappeared today.

Ahhh..you arre definitely worth that 3 year, big bucks contract extension there Cashman....yes indeed.

I'm glad he's getting plastered now instead of the season.

Maybe he'll prove to management he's not worthy of coming near the rotation, even though it should be pretty evident already from last year...

There's a shocker.

Anyone notice how terrible the Yanks' rotation will be in the coming years? Mussina is done and declining (his ERA will be close to 5 this season) and RJ is thier only good pitcher and he's nearing 50. Other than that, they don't have any remotely decent starters. I would not be optimistic if I was a Yankee fan :-o

Coming years? Mussina's contract is done after this year. Johnson's after next. Wright's can be voided after this year. Pavano is the only starter that sucks and is locked up for a decently long amount of time (3 more years, including 2006).

The rotation will look different next year, and completely different in 2008.

Yeah, we are going to have to pay Wright 4 M to go away after 2006. Stil bette rthan paying him 7 M to "pitch".

Wang, Chacon, Small,, and some minor league talent...I think we will be ok ;-D

Exactly.

There are some big names coming up in the FA market over the next couple years, and I'd be surprised if the Yankees don't come away with a couple of them:

2006:
Barry Zito ;-)

Andy Pettitte
Mark Mulder
Jason Schmidt
Kelvim Escobar
Doug Davis

2007:
Bartolo Colon
Freddy Garcia
Roy Halladay ;-)

Carlos Zambrano ;-)

Josh Beckett
Roy Oswalt ;-)

Good to see Jaret Wright is in mid-season form so early...
