Yankees May Go To 3 Man Rotation In ALCS

The Yankees may go with a 3 man rotation of CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Andy Pettitte for their ALCS match up with the Angels. I like the idea of having CC start game 4 over Chad Gaudin. For one, the Yankees did not have him pitch on three days rest all year, when the Brewers last year had him pitch on three days rest for his last three consecutive starts. CC has shown he can pitch effectively and win games on three days rest, and I think Sabathia on 3 days rest is a better starter than Gaudin. The Yankees cut his innings from 253 last year to 230 this year. He is also pitching game 1 on Friday on eight days rest. This is an interesting and very important decision for Girardi that will be one of the determining factors for the outcome of this series.
