I agree, I'd have Small up there on the rotation too and Pavano and Wright (Jared that is, not Jason ) should have to prove themselves. However, the Yankees shot themselves in the foot with Wright for signing him to that ridiculous contract. And for that, unfortunatley, Small has to pay for there sins. BTW, any possible way to grab one of the last "Asian Connection T-Shirt"?
I think, when it comes to coaching, there is still an "it" factor where you've either got it or you don't. Guidry was a phenominal pitcher during his career, and I have a feeling that he brings a fresher approach than Mel can at this point in his coaching career.
