Are the Yankees going to Become the Yan-K-ees?

Last year the Arizona Diamondbacks starting rotation had the most strikeouts in the major leagues (849). However, with the Yankees signings of CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, they seem poised to run right past that. With just the five starters (Sabathia, Burnett, Wang, Pettitte, and Chamberlain) they combine to about 900 K's! We'll see if this continues into next year.

Another thing to watch for is the Yankees single-season strikeout record held by Ron Guidry who in 1978 had 248 strikeouts. Last year, CC Sabathia had 251 and A.J. Burnett had 231. Both have ligament shots at breaking Louisiana Lightning's record.
