Yankees 2009 staff considerations

MLB Trade Rumors dug up the latest on the Yankees offseason plans, including the possibility that they bring back both Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte.

I imagine the Yankees will scrap the plan to sign two of C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, and Derek Lowe if both Mussina and Pettitte return. Or perhaps they'd turn Pettitte away?

Funny, but it was my expectation that the Yankees only bring back Pettitte or Mussina and not both. Things haven't worked out well in the Bronx in recent seasons, and an aging pitching staff can't be counted on to continue to produce at a high level. The Yankees need to get a bit younger with their veteran pitchers, because their young pitchers (Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, etc.) are still works in progress.
