OK, maybe not. However according to this press release , David Wells and Aaron Small were just added to the list of participants for Yankees Old-Timers Day 2008. The Yankees probably won't be pulling a 1979 Billy Martin-type of announcement to introduce these two as the replacements for Rasner/Ponson in the rotation, but the argument can be made that they couldn't be worse .
