The Yankees have decided to start Jeff Karstens over Kei Igawa against the Red Sox on Saturday.
Interesting. Let's say Karstens is the better pitcher: we'd still take our chances with the pitcher the Red Sox have never seen before over the one they just lit up a week earlier. Igawa might go right back into the rotation next week, or he might find himself in Triple-A when Mike Mussina comes off the DL. It'd be a risk to drop him in AL-only leagues, but it seems doubtful that he'll be worth using again anytime soon.
