2007 Rotation? Part 2

What I hope the 2007 mid-year rotation looks like:
Wang
Matsuzaka
Mussina
Hughes
Clippard/Karstens

Pen:
Mo
Bruney
Proctor
Myers
Randy
Rasner
Beam

The problems with my ideal compared to the expectations go like this- 1. Randy wants to get 300 wins, and would not allow himself to be relegated to the pen; 2. It looks like Sheffield will be traded for bullpen help, so Rasner and/or Beam will likely not make the pen out of ST; 3. Torre has (at times) a bias toward 'experience,' which favors Jaret Wright and Carl Pavano, neither of whom has really proved they can pitch in the AL, over Karstens and Rasner, who pitched very well last year (in addition to bringing youth and saving $$$).

YES has a video feature on the AFL that's worth checking out.

And BDD has a decent article on the AL Gold Gloves. They say Jeter did not deserve the GG this year (which I agree with), and that Melky! deserved an OF GG.
