Upcoming Pitching Schedule

Peter posts upcoming pitching schedule on his blog,

Friday: Hughes vs. Minnesota (Pettitte will pitch in a minor-league game)
Saturday: Joba vs. Detroit
Sunday: Aceves vs. Tampa Bay (CC will pitch in a minor-league game)
Monday: Tomko vs. Philadelphia (Wang will pitch in a minor-league game)
Tuesday: Giese vs. Boston (Burnett will pitch in a minor-league game)
Wednesday: Team is off (Pettitte will pitch in a minor-league game)

Most starters will pitch in minor league game in the day they are supposed to start. I think it's a good idea for two reasons. First of all, Yankees coach staff can use this opportunity to take a look at all candidates for long man in the bullpen. Secondly, we don't have to let other AL teams(especially those AL East teams) get a feeling of our starters before season starts.
