Better Rotation: Yanks vs Red Sox

Stop with the red Sox depth crap. Let's be honest, they supposedly had crazy depth at the beginning of last season. At the end of the season they were scrambling for arms hiring paul Byrd from home depot.

Having great depth doesn't mean that the depth can't be penetrated.

That's what she said!


And the point is, those 6, 7 and 8 guys discussed as great depth last year were major busts when they were needed last year.

I voted Even Steven. I think on paper the Yankees have a slight edge. But games aren't played on paper. We'll see.

And let's just say you do give an edge to the Sox pitching, anyway: we'll say (for the sake of argument) the Sox have "great" pitching, and the Yankees have "really good" pitching.

I still think, in a series where the teams are matched up head-to-head, the Yankees line-up is gonna have better success against the Sox' "great" rotation. The Sox will struggle more against the Yankees' merely "really good" rotation.

Purely unscientifically, I sense it's a net edge for the Yankees, either way.

So: bleh.
