GM W L BB K ERA
13 6 3 22 31 3.89

On Thursday, the Yankees placed rookie right-hander Chien-Ming Wang on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation and purchased the contract of right-hander Tim Redding from Triple-A Columbus of the International League.

Since being recalled from Columbus on April 27, the 25-year-old Wang has gone 6-3 with a 3.89 ERA in 13 games, including 12 starts. He has turned in nine quality starts on a staff that has endured struggles by an otherwise veteran rotation.

Wang, 25 joins fellow right-handers Carl Pavano, who has managed to go just 4-6 with a 4.77 ERA in 17 starts since signing a four-year deal worth nearly $40 million, and Kevin Brown (4-6, 5.48 ERA) on the disabled list.

Redding, who was acquired in the trade that sent reliever Paul Quantrill to San Diego, was 0-5 with a 9.10 ERA with the Padres. Darrell May, who allowed seven runs in 4 1/3 innings in his first start with New York on Saturday, also was acquired in the deal.

To make room for Redding on their 40-man roster, the Yankees designated infielder Eric Crozier for assignment.

Not the way I wanted the Yankees to go into Boston today. He's been our savior.

The times I have watched Wang pitch he looked great. He's also my favorite pitcher on the Yankees. That sucks

[smallguy]

Well, We are in a HUGE gap in the rotation. We need to trade for someone or maybe call someone up, or sign a FA. Wang has been great for us and sad to see him go on the DL.

[reg83ny]

We need at least 2 new starters. A.J Burnett and someone else.

Well There was a rumor that we where going to trade a spect for shawn chacon. ( pitcher from rockies)

[reg83ny]

His ERA is pretty high. The thin Air in Colorado is part of that I think. But anyone will do now. Its that bad in Yankee land. The pitching is Horrible.

It is colorado. His ERA on the road is in the 3's. I am very worried about our pitching. Not Moose though. He might be pitching bad, but his first start after the break career wise is bad.

[reg83ny]

Moose is now getting some bad calls in Boston right now. :angry: That 1st inning should of ended with only 2 runs.

This is not good, Wang is really our ace, and my favorite pitcher on our team with Rivera.
We need a new pitcher, that is at the most 27, we need young, talented guys. Pavano and the Big Unit I don't like, we need to get rid of them, especially now that Wang is down, this guy will be have a bright future.
You know who I want, the D-Train.

[inchadwetrust10]

The rotation is screwed. Moose and Unit are the only 2 real starting pitchers that are healthy right now and im tired of seeing these scrubs coming up and blowing in spot starts ( May, Henn and most likely tomorrow Redding). When will this end??? Come back Pavano please !!

[NIGHT STALKER]

Don't be surprised if Wang is gone for the year.

we wont get the d-train but i think we can get some1 that i think is better.ZITO

[smallguy]

Well, we know redding is bad.

[reg83ny]

I expected a loss but not this bad. Somehow I'm not upset.

[NIGHT STALKER]

The Yanks better not do something really stupid like give up Cano for a starter...that would be as dumb as it gets. So, we don't win it this year...we can always address the rotation next year.

Cano is a talent and is not affected by the NY lights like some players are that come here...I for one will be pissed off if they trade this kid.

[Maynard13]

I'm not sure if this is leagle, but can't they offer a team money for a good SP, maybe a pitcher the team doesn't want or and expensive old one or anything like that, say Clemems, can the Yankees give the Astros like 30mil, and the Astros give the Yankees Clemens, or can they do n e thing like that, because right now, I don't care if the Yankees payroll is 450million, the Yankees must make the playoffs, and a 2 man rotation would get me that

[smallguy]

Yankees expected to obtain Leiter

THE 5 INNING OR LESS WONDER! But at this moment I would take anyone.

The commish would pounce on that like stink on sh$%. Never happen in a million years.

[Chadforpresidentin08]

Well, we know redding is bad.

We sure do, and as Reg said, I was sure as hell expecting a loss, but by 16 runs! That was a bit more than what was on my watch.
Hermanator, I can't agree with you more, I will get so pissed at Steinbrenner and Cashman if we trade Cano, I'd write a letter just blasting him, saying he had at least 5 all-star appearances before he was done, and I'd tell him I could do better with his money (I bet I could).
I was thinking of trading away Randy Johnson right now or after the year is over, look into Zito, the D-Train, and of course we throw in there a couple million dollars, let's say $15 million.
Then (I know this will cause critisizm for how hot he is now) Jason Giambi for Mark Texeira, and throw in a few more million dollars, but I think T-Rex might be hard to get straight up, so maybe throw in Brown or Pavono and you have yourself a deal (with the cash of course).
I think these might be hard deals, but since we give the cash to help them out, it might work.
