Pettitte feels the Yankees don’t need another stud with Wang hanging around.
Pettitte expressed confidence in the team. While he said he will miss manager Joe Torre, he thinks highly of new manager Joe Girardi, a former teammate. He also believes the Yankees can make a run at a World Series even if they are unable to add Johan Santana or Dan Haren.
“There’s been a lot of speculation that we need a true power arm, an ace or whatever,” Pettitte said, “but I disagree with that. I think (Chien-Ming) Wang is an absolute stud. I think he is an ace. I understand that he struggled in the postseason before, and that’s going to happen. ... If you add one of those guys (Santana or Haren), that would be great, they both have unbelievable arms and they’re unbelievable pitchers. To say that we need one of those guys to be able to win, I just can’t believe that.”
