Chad Jennings outlines the players who will be affected by the Pettitte re-signing. Its a must read. The Yankee Triple-A rotation is going to feel crowded, and it could force some starter-to-bullpen conversions.
Great statistical demonstration of why Joba has to start by the amazing FanGraphs site, here.
SI.com has an excerpt from The Yankee Years, the new Joe Torre book about his time in NY. The excerpt covers Joe’s final hours as the manager of the Yankees, and is pretty compelling fare. Check it out.
I’ve done this for four years now, and this is probably the worst list of prospects that I’m written since before Chamberlain and Kennedy were drafted. That said, there’s a lot of interesting promise on the list, and some names should produce immediate dividends for the Yankees.

UPDATE – Buster Olney is reporting that the deal is for “nearly $6 million, with incentives that could make it worth as much as [...]
One question that has yet to be resolved about the Yankees’ starting rotation for 2009 is the number of innings that Joba Chamberlain can be expected to log in the rotation. Tim Dierkes tries to answer that question:
I asked eleven of my favorite baseball writers to predict Chamberlain’s 2009 regular season Major League [...]
Michiko Kakutani (NY Times) has an excellent review out on the new Verducci-Torre book, The Yankee Years. In the book it seems that Verducci, with Torre’s insider knowledge and expertise, has crafted an insightful text about an evolving franchise and one that experienced (and some could argue is still experiencing) an “identity crisis.”
