Wang Problems

For the third start in a row Chien Ming Wang has been absolutely dreadful. This season Wang has pitched only 6 innings total while giving up 23 hits, runs, and earned runs. On top of that he has walked 6 batters and given up 2 homeruns. What is truly troubling about these starts is that Wang has been giving up homeruns. As a sinkerballer Wang is at his best inducing groundballs and going deep into ballgames. Since he is giving up line drive hits and walking men something needs to be done. Normally this kind of struggling would be chalked up to rust from injury. However Wang has not escaped the second inning in his last two starts and is definitely harming the team. Manager Joe Girardi needs to do something with Chien Ming Wang. He can not be sent down to the minors as he is a 3 year veteran which prevents him from being sent down without either being put on waivers or without his permission. In a best case scenario Wang would accept the move to be sent down to the minors, which he should do. The reasoning behind this is twofold. First Wang will be able to work out his problems without hurting the team. Second the bullpen will not be as taxed as they have pitched 21 innings over the course of Wang's three starts. The only question would be who should be brought up. In my opinion Phil Hughes would be the logical choice to replace Wang. Hughes has had major league success and is familiar with the Yankees. Unless Girardi thinks Wang will have an immediate turn around, the decision seems to have been made for both of Wang and Girardi. If Wang wants to truly help the team he will realize the importance of a stint in the minors to the team.
