I'm excited about it as well. A rotation of Wang, Pettitte, Clemens, Mussina and (eventually) Hughes should be fun to watch. This will give the Yankees a chance to either get Igawa some work in the minors or out of the pen. Yes, it stinks for Rasner as he threw one heck of a game yesterday, but he can always come out of the pen (where the Yanks can use as many fresh arms as possible).

With the age of the starting rotation, having quality long men will be very important. That's where Rasner/Igawa and even Karstens when he comes back can play an important role.
