Actually, he's already missed one start, having been pushed back from last Monday. The last time Pettitte did not spend significant time on the DL was 2009. He's now 40. I can add 2+2, can you?.
He has a 3-0 record and the Yankees have played 15 games so far. His record accounts for 1/3 of the Yankees wins. Why don't you let the season happen, rumps? You have anointed the Red Sox pitchers to co-Cy Young winners, and denigrated every Yankees player.
And my Aunt Margaret could have hit 40 if... Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda...the oldest fraternity in the world..
Red Sox should sign your Aunt Marge. It could give them better run production.
Ah, the power of selective evidence. Edwin Encarnacion hit almost twice as many HRs last years as the corpse of Teixeira and earned 1/6 of what Teixeira got. Josh Willingham hit 50% more HRs and was paid 1/3.
Selective evidence???? You're the king of selective evidence, rumps. FYI Edwin Encarnacion's best season for hitting HR's was last year. Before his 42 HR's last year, Edwin highest HR production was 26 in 2008 and 21 in 2010. Josh Willilngham has been the same story as Encarnacion. Willingham hit 35 HR's in 2012 and before that he never had a 30 HR season in his 9 year career.
Teixeira has been consistent. In Teixeira's 10 year career, he has 8 seasons with 30 or more HR's.
