My point was that the Yankees rotation isn't as good as people think it is. It has the potential of being a great rotation, but a lot of things have to fall in place for that to happen.

I disagree. Last year's rotation was considered one of the best in baseball and there were a lot of question marks then too. Wells, Clemen's age, Weaver, etc. We won quite a few games last year.
This year, of course there are question marks. But I think we've improved over what we would have had if we re-signed Pettitte, Clemens and Wells. We got younger at every position, and if we hadn't made any moves, you'd be telling me all about how old our staff was.
And you're missing the effect the strengthened bullpen will have on the starting five. Pitch 6 innings and hit the showers with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Oakland, Boston, the Cubs and maybe even Seattle have better starting pitching than the Yankees given the probablity of injury to Brown and the unpredictability of Lieber's comeback.

Well, we'll see, won't we?
