Typical take from Tim Smith where the Yankee playoff success hinges on Andy Pettitte's successful return.
Now, it goes without saying that a healthy Pettitte will help the Yankees in September and in October, but it's impossible to predict the outcome of a five-game series:
"If Pettitte doesn't come back right for the postseason, I'm not convinced that Sabathia, as good as he has been, can run all four legs of that relay race and help deliver another World Series title to the Bronx."
Who knows? Sabathia and Pettitte are not guaranteed winners and Hughes and Burnett are not guaranteed losers.
But what bugs me is that the Yankee opponents are never discussed. How can you proclaim the Yankee starting rotation depth is a problem when none of their opponents have starting rotation depth?
