Wang Woes

Chien-Ming Wang was 1-2 in Spring Training games, and typically not a lot of stock is put in those numbers. However now down 0-2 with a 28.93 ERA, it is time to take a harder look. Is Wang still not recuperated from his leg injury or has he developed a new affliction, Eilanditis.

While I am concerned that Wang is not healed. I am also concerned that Dave Eiland still does not qualify as a major league pitching coach and he remains in the NYY organization at the Major League level. When you fail in majors as a pitcher, you don't belong being brought back to coach pitching.

The Yankees have a multifuctional pitching staff and a pitching coach who only knows how to toss tricks to get a player a to take a swing. Pitching on the corners is well suited for anyone but Mariano Rivera. At this point I would like to see Mo take the role of coach/player and take over the pitching staff, as he has been turning the youth movement and done wonders. Eiland has only harmed the club's talent.

It been a season and 7 games, fire Eiland now!
