Who do you want to be our #5 starter, Kennedy? Ok, who do you want to send to AAA?

chokesina is causing us a double whammy:

not only can he not pitch deep enough, he is getting hammered early, and that as a result taxes the pen:

1) gives us no chance to win early in game
2) taxes pen

he is going worse than wright was the other year

he has no velocity and no sharpness to the curve, his arm is shot, and so will b the yanks playoff chances if he continues to pitch the way he has been

There is no logic in talking about getting rid of Moose right now in late August. The only viable option to replace him would be Kennedy, who is in his first season in professional baseball. More importantly, Kennedy is about to reach his innings limit for the season so that isn't a realistic option. Hughes is the best Yankees prospect to come around in a decade, Kennedy is nowhere on his level, yet look at the growing pains that even a prospect like Hughes has to go through. Stop trying to be an armchair GM, take a step back, and be logical for a minute.

As far as I know Villone doesn't have any options.
