Larry.. ESPN did not say that, Buster Olney the Yankee apologist did and was laughed at by BOTH of the other men on the Baseball Tonight set. Rivera might make the team, but he wont start...that would be silly.
As I stated in my topic starter, Lee is not an option to start the game. He will make the team and may throw to a batter or 2 late, but he would be pitching on 3 days rest and Eric Wedge would not allow it to happen.
As for the Volquez idea, he too will MAKE the team, but he pitches the Saturday prior to the game. That may keep him from starting the game.
