However, it's got to be tough knowing the press hounds want nothing to do with you until they're looking for a scoop about something that may just have cost you your job. Of course he's frustrated. If I was in his position, I would be too. He signed a free agent contract to start here and was pretty much guaranteed a rotation spot until the Pineda and Kuroda moves. Then he said he was willing to go to the pen to be the longman. Now with Andy though, he's pretty much the 7th starter. He was asked how he felt, and he addressed it. I'd be willing to bet that he's dealt at some point. They can deal him after June 15th, or before if he gives his ok. "Never seen a payroll on a ring" "Leave the gun, take the cannoli "

He reads the Daily News. Without question, it is Garcia. Its got to be Garcia. He's 35 years old, injury prone, and makes 4 mil a year. He is the odd man out and Freddy know it. Well there is only one thing Freddy can do....pitch well and stay healthy. Good HITTING cannot hit Good PITCHING; Good Hitting can only hit BAD PITCHES.

It was during a game and he made this big announcement during a game as if he was Christ himself. That's according to your perspective and no one knows who the h**l you are .

CC, Kud, Nova, Pin, Huges / Garc. Anyway I love you Andy but stay retired I rather see some young guns fighting their way up! Heck we could have had Montero stick around for another year and let him mash and keep an eye on Pin for a whole nother year if Andy would have came back in the off season. Must have done some HGH with a little test in the off season and now he feels gooddddddddddddd. 9 games? Winning 9 games is not important. The standard for every Yankee pitcher is not win 9 games or even 20. It's to win every game. As for "young guns" fighting their way up? Who? Dude, they're all up. How old is Pineda? How old is Hughes? How old is Nova?

61in61 Posts: 12,378	Its not like Garcia is going to be forced to clean the rest rooms at the stadium. He has a one year deal that pays $4M. All he has to do is pitch the best that he can and earn his money. I know he has competitive spirit but he will pitch someplace, if not for the Yankees. Next year he can make a deal with another team.

It seems to be widely assumed that the 5th spot is Hughes' to lose. And, of course, the way Hughes started 2011, it is a distinct possibility. Having a Garcia means that Hughes probably gets no more than 3 starts to prove he belongs in the rotation.

If he's that unhappy he should offer to rip up his contract.
