"The Yankees aren't trying to nickel-and-dime Andy Pettitte because they think he deserves to have his 2008 salary nearly cut in half.
That is just a shell game.
The Yankees, who spent all that money on Sabathia and Burnett and Teixeira, are desperate to somehow come in at around $200 million in payroll or even under it so they can tell everybody how frugal they are.
So this isn't about what's right with an old Yankee hero like Pettitte.
It's about how things look."
I agree with one thing: Andy Pettitte is old.
