This is going to be short. Most of the reading I've done at the blogs and news sites show that it's pretty unanimous for the fans that we want Andy Pettitte back. He has said that it's the Yankees or retirement. And he's stated that he's wanted to retire for a few years now. But with him coming off a 15 win season, that could have easily been 19 or 20 wins if not for the teams (read that as shotty relief pitching) poor start. Undoubtedly he still has the stuff for the Bigs.
One point that has been overlooked, as far as I'm concerned is this: Pettitte has a $16M PLAYER option. Basically there is $16M sitting on the table for him to grab. All he has to say is "I'm in." Would anyone in their right mind say, "I've got so much money already that I don't need that $16 MILLION!!" I don't think so. Andy will be back.
