It should come as no surprise to anyone that Andy Pettitte has signed a contract to paly Ball for the New York Yankees. Andy Pettitte is at the point where this may well be his final farewell season playing major league baseball. He certainly wanted to finish his career with the New York Yankees. Andy Pettitte is one of those major leaguers that is one rung below the status of a hall of fame ball player. He has been a part of four New York Yankee World Series victories and has had the pleasure of playing with people like Derek Jeter and for a manager like Joe Torre. The question I have is will Andy Pettitte be the opening day pitcher in the new Yankee Stadium? Probably not, the Yankees will want to showcase C.C. Sabathia. After the amount of money paid to Sabathia there is little chance he will not start opening day in the Bronx. Anyway, I see Andy Pettitte winning around 15 games this year and if the Yankees get their collective "hitting eye" back Pettitte might win 18 or 19 games. There is a better than even chance the Yankees will reach the World Series for the 40th time in the history of Baseball. If the Yankees get to the World Series I am certain Andy Pettitte will win at least one of those games.
