No do...Come on, homer!<BR/><BR/>Yes, the Yankees are better. No doubt. But do you really expect- <BR/><BR/>Pettite to be better as a 37 year old than he was as a 36 year old? How many pitchers, with over 2700 career innings, get better at that age? <BR/><BR/>Burnett to make 30 starts? Ten years in the bigs, and he has done that twice. That's 20% of the time for those of you mathematically challenged. And he's now 32 - not exactly the time to be setting endurance highs.<BR/><BR/>The other thing you didn't take into account is the aging of Jeter, Damon and Matsui. There is bound to be some drop off there. <BR/><BR/>Finally, in the Yankees' division, winning 100 games is a fantasy. The other teams are just too good.<BR/><BR/>Put the Yankees down for 90-95 wins - any more is counting on breaks that you just can't reasonably predict.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
