Mark Feinsand of the Daily News has a writeup on Hank Steinbrenner that’s filled with some new Hank commentary. Hank addresses the positives he has seen in a floundering Yankee team and thinks that the club will eventually “go on a tear” but the lack of offense has certainly been frustrating for him and everyone else. He also talks about trying to be patient with the young arms in his rotation.
Here’s a quote from Hank about one of the lone bright spots on the team–Chien-Ming Wang.
“Wang has been incredible,” Steinbrenner said. “Nobody has been talking about him enough – including me – and he’s been lights-out for us. He’s one of the three or four best starting pitchers in baseball.”
Has Wang’s fast start helped Steinbrenner get past his assertion from the spring that the Yankees needed a true ace?
“We do have that ace,” he said, “but it doesn’t hurt to have two aces.”
The Santana remark in the end is typical Hank. But what good is an extra ace if the Yanks can’t score any runs?
