If he wins 10 games that will be a huge year. He cant carry the games into the 8th and 9th any more so he will lose some decisions there. He is a great player that probably has some more left but this is not some kind of deal that will put the Yankees over the top. They still need to get and stay healthy and Torre has been burning the mediocre bullpen up. Mussina and Pettite are question marks to stay healthy and Hughes is a rookie that is already hurt. The japanese guy has looked shaky, Proctor's arm is in danger of falling off, Mariano is slipping, Farnsworth is shaky, Burney is getting used an awful lot. I just see a lot of holes in the staff even with Clemens 30 or so innings a month
