The question of whether or not the Yankees will win the American League Eastern Division looms rather large, but at this point with the Red Sox sitting nine games behind the Yankees in the Wild-Card standings things look pretty good for their playoff chances.
Over the past two days Chad Gaudin has been playing a large part in Yankee loses and it has gotten me thinking of his chances of even making the playoff roster.
