Take a Random Guess Where the Yankees Staff Ranks...

Here's a chart showing the correlation between runs allowed and team wins. Can you guess which one is the Yankees?

Well it's not completely you Phil, but you certainly aren't helping much.

At the start of the season the Yankees were supposed to consist of a DEEP 5-man rotation. One with no holes. An Ace at the top in Sabathia. A two with great stuff in Burnett. An emerging Ace in Joba.

And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s.
