Hal Steinbrenner on Wang's Injury

From Peter Abraham:

“I think we’re going to stick to the young guys. We’re always out there looking, researching, doing our recon work, and we’ll continue to do that. Losing Wang hurts us, he’s our ace, but the good news is it looks like he’s going to be back before the end of the season, and I know we’ll need him.

“We’ve had a lot of injuries this year and every one of them’s upsetting, but you strengthen your resolve and keep pushing forward. We’ve been good at that all year and we’ll continue to do that, and we’ll be there at the end.”

The Yankees are going to see how far they can go with people from within. From Cashman to Hank to Hal, they're all saying that. I don't think it's a bad move either.

Peter Abraham
also pointed out yesterday that the Yankees will only need a 5th starter four times between now and July 24th. If they have not found a viable option at that point they can make a trade, but until then I fully agree with going with people from within.
