Another Piece to the Puzzle

Mariano Rivera is going to return to the Yankees! The 3-year, $45 million contract will make him the highest paid closer in baseball... well deserved. I can't believe Billy Wagner made more than him... that was ridiculous. So with Mo back as the closer, the Yankees should seriously consider making Joba Chamberlain the setup man. It's important for them to secure at least 2 innings per game. If they make Joba a starter, he might pitch great for 6-7 innings, but the middle relief would blow it. The Yankees are still waiting on Andy Pettitte for another solid starter to compliment Wang. Then they have to pick up at least one more reliable starter. So the band is almost back together. What a relief. I don't think the fans could take any more Yankees drama during the offseason.
