Apparently something still isn't right with him.He might be landing wrong which will effect his follow through and usually means less movement. If I were the Yanks i'd send him down until he can work it out and bring up Hughes.
You still haven't made a prediction yourself but it's nice to know that you have had 3 starts to look at from just about everyone to make your decision.

Nice start by Wang.

My choice is Halladay, by the way.
Check page 3. Halladay is my choice every year, because he's the best pitcher in baseball.

A little too early for this and I also don't see Burnett in there.

Greinke.
Amazing.
Especially when you consider the Royal's very average defense.
I use the word "average" generously here.

Halladay is a solid and obvious pick. He is off to a hot start and its way to early to have a front runner but if i had to pick one i would consider it him. Lester got back on track with a good outing over the weekend as well. Greinke was an awesome pick. With a CG shutout over the weekend, the kid has been absolutely perfect this season and is a great story. Just another reason to root for and like the Royals.

I am going to discontinue my discussions about Wang. Through the first 2 weeks of the season he has been the worst pitcher in baseball. At this point i dont see how he can be run out there another time. His ERA is now in the 30s. His start is pretty much historically bad - he has given up more runs then all the rest of the Yankee pitchers combined.

Also, this new Yankee Stadium is a joke. They should have moved the fences back to match the 21st century. There is nothing interesting about having every other batter hit a home run. The old park at least had history on its side, this park does not and is an insult to actually baseball.

Yeah, i mean its a joke, it really is. Its not even baseball. 1.5 billion and this is what they come up with? Players are bigger and stronger these days, 314-318 down the lines aint going to cut it. Need to move into the 21st century.
