How does everyone feel about it?  It’s early in spring but is it unreasonable to assume the following:

Wang – 18 victories; Pettitte – 15 victories, Hughes – 14 victories, Kennedy – 10 victories, Mussina – 10 victories = 67.

They only got like 62 or 63 victories out of their rotation last year. 

But, you figure slight drop offs from Wang and Pettitte (maybe Wang at 16 or 17, Pettitte should be a steady 15) but a good increase from Hughes.  I hate to limit him to 14, but I don’t want to raise expectations too much.  Kennedy and Mussina, if healthy and in the rotation should give you 10 each.  And if Mussina shows signs of life, he may be good for more, but I don’t want to assume… he’s looked so bad at times last season I have no reason to expect anything more than 10 (and it could be less).

Just something to talk about on Feb 27.Â
