Welcome Back Andy

The Boss must have called up Cash from the grave and let him have it.  First for taking on an ugly mistress.  Second for letting his sons go el-cheapo on the payroll. And finally for keeping the door open on a fifth starter spot that nobody seems to want.  What’s the result?  Mr. 240 Careers Wins ANDY PETTITTE.  How do you think Phil Hughes feels now about all those twinkies he was crushing in the offseason?  Sorry bud you had your chance.  Personally, I love this move. Nothing but upside here.  Andy Pettite is a workhorse, a winner, and a proven champion.  Three things in short supply these days.   Plus you can NEVER have enough quality pitching.  A $2.5mm/1 year deal for the man known best for sticking a fork in the top American League team’s seasons come October is a move the Boss would make.  A classic ‘No looking back, win NOW’ mindset.  Now let’s get Hughes in the pen so he can kick that fastball into high gear and Andy will set up CC in what’s arguably (still) one of the top lefty-lefty punches in the game.  Don't think for one second Jorge isn't laughing off Raul Ibanez’s horrendous .077 spring batting average either.  I just hope he’s staying in shape because I heard the Core 4 is making a full-fledged comeback.  So swing a bat Jorge.  The band is getting back together for one last show.
