I mean no other team in baseball last year was able to match that trio in the postseason. And I really wouldn't say they were a shaky team. They were the best team in baseball a majority of the season.
The rotation of CC, AJ, Andy, Joba and Hughes with Gaudin, Aceves, Kennedy and others as spot starters when needed is fine IMO. I could see the Yankees taking a chance on someone like Sheets or Bedard though.
I dunno, like I said before the whole thing reminds me of the Santana situation all over again. How many teams in baseball are able to afford giving up a big haul of prospects and giving out a huge contract to Halladay? For Santana it was three and in the end the Twins ended up getting nothing at all. I just don't wanna give up big pieces for Halladay when I'd think there's a good chance of him or Lee becoming a free agent after next year.

Right now there's even a possibility of Josh Johnson and Beckett being free agents next year. Beckett wants Burnett money from the Red Sox and the Red Sox don't want to give him that much.
