The Yankees would be stupid to give up on Wang. When healthy, he can give the Yanks rotation length they need. I would not be surprised if they bring him along in the minors and we might not see him till next August or September in the big leagues. But that is so far away from now. The important thing to focus on is bringing him back.

For his numerous Taiwanese fans and ex-pats in Taiwan who are Yankee fans (like me) Wang’s recovery is critical. We see every Yankee game here live on the YES network, and the only reason for that is Wang’s presence on the Yankee roster. Should he retire, we would probably have to watch the Dodgers instead, who have a Taiwanese reliever named Kuo.

Who cares, he’s finished, too many injuries, look how they are playing without him, and besides, not too many fans flying over from Taiwan to see him pitch.

Chien Ming Wang not only has a promising pitching future, he is a national hero in Taiwan. That kind of publicity alone should be worth any salary cost that the Yanks may need to lay out.

I would really hate for the yanks to let him go. He has been solid, if not spectacular, over the last few years. Injuries have caused his quick decline, and maybe coming back to early this year hurt him more. The “Wanger” will be back, hopefully it is with the yanks.
