Yankees-Twins

The Yankees have announced their rotation for the Twins Series.


Mike Mussina, Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens will start the first three games of the series against the Minnesota Twins, manager Joe Torre said Friday.

"We'll go through the first three games and then figure out what we're going to do," Torre said. "Wells, in all likelihood, will pitch the fourth game."


I think they are making the same mistake the A's did last year. Hudson got two starts instead of one and had a 6.23 ERA. The A's lost both games. This year, the Twins are 25-28 when a left-hander starts against them (.472) and 65-42 (.607) when a right-hander starts against them (3rd best in the majors). I think the Yankees really should go Pettitte, Mussina, Clemens, Wells and Pettitte so they can get three lefties starting against the Twins.
