Moose did look great last night. 11 wins is a decent estimate, however I don't know if he'll get that chance. I think the Yankees are going to ride out the growing pains from Hughes and Kennedy, and when Joba is ready to start, I think Mussina will be the one replaced. Mussina is still a major liability, and the fans/Hank have a short leash. He's 39, and a free-agent after this year, so I don't think the Yankees will have any qualms with removing him as a starter if needed.
As far as Oswalt, I don't think he will be moved. He just signed a long term contract that won't end until 2012, and he's the only starter worth having on that team. He's always been rumored to be traded, but doing so makes no sense.
The Yankees will probably stay the way they are past the deadline. The only players I see them moving is Damon or Matsui, maybe for a relief pitcher.
However when the off-season comes around, hello C.C. and Teixera!
