"Spring training is less than a month away and the New York Yankees are patiently waiting for Andy Pettitte to make up his mind.
As Pettitte ponders retirement, there was at least one encouraging sign for the Yankees. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said on Wednesday that he had spoken to Pettitte in the last week and that the hurler was starting to get into baseball shape, just in case he decides to pitch in 2011. "I believe he is throwing," Girardi said at Yankee Stadium. "He wants to be prepared, whatever his decision is (ESPN)."
I keep going back and forth on whether or not I think he will come back. Today, I feel that he is going to come back, but kind of do what his buddy Roger Clemens used to do and pitch a half a season. The Yankees can't argue, because right now their only reported alternative is guys already in the organization and Justin Duchscherer, so basically Pettitte has full control and can get whatever money he wants.
