On that same token, Yanks starter Darrell Rasner (5-7) has been successful against Baltimore this season, limiting them to 10 hits in 13 innings while walking two and striking out nine. But Nick Markakis seems to have Rasner's formula down: Cakes is 9-for-11 (.818) with a home run against the pitcher.

That leaves them with a rotation of Andy Pettitte, Mike Mussina, Darrell Rasner, and a still-developing Joba Chamberlain, with Dan Giese expected to step into the fifth starter role. That’s a shallow rotation, weighted at the older and younger ends like a barbell. Hurry up, C.C. Sabathia.

hy), a not-quite-ready-for-prime-time Joba Chamberlain (still being stretched out as a starter) and Darrell Rasner, filling in for an injured (and struggling) Ian Kennedy.
None of these guys are legit #1 starters; Pettitte, who is past his prime, couldn't handle the burden when he was with the Astros, and he's the best guy to take the job now. Moose is also too old, and Rasner/Kennedy or Chamberlain is too young, though Joba's got #1 potential someday.
