Abreu & Pettitte: One here, one gone?

In some old news, the Yankees took the option on Bobby Abreau's contract so that he'll be a Yankee in 2008. This was pretty much the Yankees only move, unless they wanted to go after Tori Hunter or Andruw Jones, shifting Melky to right. But my guess is both those players would want just about the same amount and honestly, Abreu's better at getting on base even if his power's pretty much sapped.

Pettitte on the other hand is up in the air on what he wants to do, but he declined his option. Is he pulling a Roger Clemens by saying he may want to retire and then want more money? The Yankees seem to understand and are giving Pettitte his space and time to decide. But obviously if Pettitte is gone, the pitching rotation is in much rougher shape.
