Yankees' rotation: end of an era?

The Yankees will still have a pretty decent lineup next year, but one
that is nowhere near the caliber of Boston's. It seemed as if much of
the Yankee's success these past couple of years was built on starting
pitching. Now, I'm wondering how they're going to compete with a
Boston team that will pretty much be the same as this past year's,
only without the same starting rotation. Here's how I see it:

Mussina: still around
Clemens: retiring
Wells: gone or retiring
Pettite: free agent, might not return
Weaver: probably will be traded

It doesn't seem like there are going to be a ton of pitchers on the
market this year. Anyone think that the Yankees aren't going to be so
good next year?
