Re: Yankees' rotation: end of an era?

The only ones I definitely see being with the Yanks next year are
Rivera and Pettite. Mussina had a mediocre post-season, which drives
Steinbrenner insane.
Contreras might be gone. He's a good middle reliever at best. Wells is
done, and Clemens says he's done, but, you never know.
