Summary: After a series of terrible starts for Freddy Garcia, the Yankees have moved there fifth starter to the bullpen. The rookie David Phelps will now have the opportunity to show his skills in the rotation. Garcia had a terrible ERA and therefore was moved, hopefully he will be able to succeed in the pen.

Significance: This is a very significant move for the Yankees and for the young rookie. This is a big move for the Yanks because they might be able to finally secure their rotation. This is important for David Phelps because he needs to prove his worth with the veteran Andy Pettitte coming back next week.

Question: Should the Yankees be a little concerned with the struggling Garcia?

Alternate Heading: Phelps given opportunity as new starter for Yanks
