It's not serious; Wang is known as a fast healer, has shown it in the past, and threw a session this morning. He'll still go on the DL, just to be safe, but it may mean 1 rehab start rather than two.

I can't believe the press - they're saying Carl Pavano is going to be the Yankees opening day starter. Scary thought. Can't we just trade A-Rod and Pavano for Zambrano NOW?

Pettitte should be back in time for opening day, even though no one is paying any attention to him. He's been rested, and I see no reason why he still couldn't be an option. Why is Mike Mussina being ignored? I realize it will "screw up" the rotation schedule, but I've never believed that rest too much was going to kill a pitcher. 1 day can't hurt.
And, after all, its the Devil Rays.
Re: Wang. It's best to sit him because hamstring injuries are recurrent. Even after you're feeling fine, the injury is still there.
Re: Pavano. The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstoe. Okay, not really. But the Yankees always start the season 1-0.
