Rotation Changes Coming?

From the same Kat O'Brien article as the Harlan Chamberlain story below:
The Yankees may split up Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy in the rotation following the off-day Monday. Asked if that was under consideration, Girardi smiled and said; "It's a possibility."
It would seem that they're going to do this to save the arms in the bullpen. Having two guys on strict innings limits back-to-back isn't the greatest way to keep a bullpen from being overworked.

I don't know about you but I think they need to start skipping starts to get the rotation in order. With Pettite being out at the beginning of the season the rotation is Chien-Ming, Moose, Hughes, Kennedy, Pettite.

I want Wang and Pettite back to back--in that order.

This is the second freaking time Moose has gone up against Beckett when it should be Pettite.

I agree completely.
