Umm, no it won't. Don't think for a second that the Yankees won't a) give Pettitte anything he wants now that he's won 17 games and is Cy Young candidate and b) immediately hop on the first free-agent to hit the market and lure him in by the time you start your Christmas shopping. Plus, they have Jon Leiber returning, who could be a wild card if he's fully recovered from Tommy John surgery. Of course, that's an if, but a rotation featuring Pettitte, Mussina, some big-name free agent, Weaver/Contreras and perhaps Leiber is a lot better than what most teams can run out there each week.

See my Tim Hudson thread. Andy pettitte is *NOT* a cy young candidate, even if your biased NY media insists that he is.
He has wins because he has huge run support. His era isn't even in the top 10--its actually 16th. He has a 4.01 era. That is NOT an ace. That shouldn't be a #1 on any club. Or 2, on a team that actually is making an effort to win.
Shit, Roger Clemens looks better than Pettitte this year. Same ERA, same innings, better WHIP.
You Yankees fans kill me.
