Andy Pettitte isn't buying the notion that the New York Yankees are going to struggle this season.

"I don't let my mind go in that direction because I think we're going to win our division and I expect us to be in the World Series. Bottom line," Pettitte said.

"I think we got the pitching and bullpen to do that and I feel like if people think we're going to be short on scoring runs, we're going to figure out how to score enough runs to me. To me, I feel great about our club."

Analysts have low expectations for the Yankees, who lost Nick Swisher and Russell Martin to free agency, and will have Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez sidelined to begin the season.
