After looking at the outfield and the infield, here's a look at the starting rotation (both actual and would-be starters) and some thoughts on what the Yankees should do with it going forward:Freddy GarciaPhil HughesHiroki KurodaDerek LoweIvan NovaAndy PettitteDavid PhelpsMichael PinedaCC SabathiaThe Freddy Garcia Era has ended.Phil Hughes, who is eligible for arbitration, should be given one more chance in 2013. If he doesn't take that chance and run with it, it will be time to say goodbye.I would give Hiroki Kuroda a one-year deal. He will be 38 years old in 2013 and anything more than one year would be crazy.Derek Lowe is on the decline, in my opinion. He wants to start, so let him do it elsewhere.I am not ready to give up on Ivan Nova just yet. He had a bad sophomore season, which doesn't mean his third year in the Majors will be a bust.Andy Pettitte was a feel-good story in 2012 but who's to say it will feel just as good in 2013?

The Yankees are known to spend a bit too much money on washed-up stars.
They've also been talking about changing their ways and trying to stay under the luxury tax threshold moving forward.
But they're willing to pay for established, premium in-house talent -- that is, if the talent produces.
Oh, the irony that New York just exercised two player options that will cost...

Thank God we didn't have to play the Giants. It would have taken them two games to sweep us in four. We wouldn't have gotten a hit - not one - and the Giants would still be batting in game two. The lead would be something like 104 to 0, and Nick Swisher would be pitching for us. Girardi would still be keeping A-Rod on the bench - resting him for the critical moment - and...
