I love the Yankees and though I think Brian Cashman is a good GM he has made some very memorable mistakes and I think not getting Johan is going to come back and finally bite hime by the All star break if the Yankees are still in the basement of the AL East. Putting Joba in this questionable rotation is a rediculous move why change the only "SURE" thing your club has to offer at this point. He should be the 8th inning guy until Mariano is ready to retire thus handing the tourch to Joba. The intensity level Joba posseses is not easy to find and thats the type of intensity you need to close games in NY. Bad Move on the part of the "Higher ups". Only time will tell if they are right but me being a life long Yankee diehard I only look forward to one thing this year and thats the All-Star game!!!!.
