Wang to start the season on the DL with a hamstring pull... out til "late April" in the words of Brian Cashman.

On the surface, this seems very bad.

However, both Karstens and Rasner have been performing extremely well in spring training this year... especially Karstens. I expect a rotation of Pettitte, Mussina, Pavano, Igawa (maybe), Karstens (possibly Rasner).

This really is not THAT bad. Assuming Wang gets back in short order (the amount of time Robbie Cano was out last year with a hamstring injury keeps looming in my mind... but I understand every hammy pull is different), the team should be just fine.

On top of that I expect the offense to score a ton of runs.

Losing your "ace" sucks, but when you have such depth plus run support...

Thoughts?
