Wang's defining start


Today Wang faces the Nationals with his job as a starter on the line.

The coaches will be looking for progress, not perfection. They'll be looking for a good start, and for Wang to perform to his potential. They're not looking for greatness or a no-hitter or even a "quality start", most often defined as 6+ innings and 3 earned runs or less allowed. They're looking for progress.

And if Wang doesn't deliver, he'll probably be moved to the bullpen. Not benched, not traded (I think). Just moved. Not the end of the world for Wang fans, but perhaps the beginning of a new era for him with the Yankees.
