Pettitte accepts arbitration

Andy Pettitte accepted the Yankees' arbitration offer, according to Bryan Hoch. This move officially solidifies the 2008 rotation, unless the Yankees pull a move for Johan Santana out of no where.

Pettitte was 15-9 with a 4.05 ERA. He struggled with a lack of run support early on in the season but pitched well for the majority of the season. He also had a huge start in Game 2 of the ALDS.

His contract is worth $16 million for one year. However, he has said that he would like to at least play in the new Yankee Stadium.
