Russ….I think that if the Yankees are under .500 by the end of April…the pitching coach will be changed. If they remain under .500 by end of May with no signs of improvement….Girardi will be replaced.

I also think that Burnett and Pettitte will be the rock of this pitching staff. I have no reason for thinking that other than a gut instinct. I thought the same prior to the start of the season.
