A nice little story about a kid who could make a difference.
Just pace him, Joe.
Since 2000, it has been the same story: the only thing worse than being a reliever Joe Torre doesn't trust is being a reliever Joe Torre loves. 'Cause you're going to get worked to death, son.
Tired arms cost the Yankees first-round losses in 2002, 2005 and last year; cost them the pennant in 2004 (the saddest sight in the world was Tom Gordon throwing those grapefruits to Ortiz and Manny), and cost them the series (okay, a lack of offense hurt) in 2003.
The current curse of the Yankees has been described as a franchise still looking for those last two outs they left in the desert in 2001. One might as well say that this is a franchise looking for the bullpen it had in the late nineties: Stanton, Nelson, Lloyd, Mendoza . . . and Mo.

A bench and a bullpen. The two things that made the Yanks virtually unbeatable in the 90's.
The league ain't what it used to be. Pavano will be middle relief before you know it.
How long before Phillip Hughes takes Pavano's spot in the rotation? The over/under is the All Star Break. I'll take the over.
