Yanks Still Want More Pitching, Eying Duchscherer

From Mark Feinsand:
Even after bringing back Andy Pettitte and tendering contracts to Chad Gaudin and Sergio Mitre, the Yankees are looking for more pitching.

...

While Cashman continues to monitor the Roy Halladay situation in Toronto, the general manager is looking at a couple of pitchers coming back from arm surgery: Justin Duchscherer and Ben Sheets.
According to Feinsand, the Yankees are not likely to meet the demands of Ben Sheets -- around the $11 million he made in 2008.

As for Duchscherer, his agent, Damon Lapa, will allow teams to speak with his therapist in addition to reviewing his medical reports. Apparently he suffered from depression back in Aug. of 2008. Cashman did confirm that he has spoken to Lapa.

Feinsand also tells us that the Yanks are going to wait and see what happens with John Lackey before adding an additional pitcher.
