The Yankees future for 2011 and possibly the forseable future is up for grabs in the Cliff Lee sweepstakes.  If the Bombers sign Lee their rotation looks solid and one would think there is a chance that Andy Pettitte returns.  With Lee in the lineup the rotation is solid.  You have co number one starters C.C. Sabathia and Cliff Lee with Phil Hughes, A.J. Burnett who has to have a better year than 2010 and you could bring back Pettitte as a 5th man in the rotation to keep him fresh come playoff time.  That rotation would look a stellar against a reenergized Red Sox lineup that added Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford over the course of the past week.  Without Lee, if I was a betting man I would bet my house that Andy retires.  What does that really leave the Yanks?  C.C. at the top of the rotation would look nice on any team.  Phil Hughes and A.J. are big question marks.  After them rookies to fill out the rotation?  I don’t like my odds against Boston with that rotation.  And we all know that Yankee baseball is about two things:  beating Boston and winning the World Series.  To do B you have to usually do A.  If we did A do you really like plan B of the Yankees rotation against Philadelphia, San Francisco, or Colorado, in a World Series matchup?  I don’t either.
