Andy Pettitte was asked whether the Yankees needed to get Johan Santana. He gave an interesting answer:

I agree with him, WE Dont need him... it would be NICE to have him but were not gonna implode if we dont get him. Hughes has the stuff to win 15 games this year. [pending what kinda pitch count the stick on him] and id say joba can win 12, Im not high on Kennedy but can win 12 as well. Ill go out on a limb and say Wang will pitch 18-21 wins this year. and Andy himself should be good for 15.

I agree we dont "need" Santana, but i have to disagree on Wang being an Ace.....

Wang = the Derek Lowe of 2002 and 2003.

Wang's a little better than Lowe from '02 and '03, Lowe's a little more 'clutch'

Leiber was more clutch than wang.

Ill bet he is on that list tommorow.
