The Return Of Andy Pettitte?

Andy Pettitte is entering the 3rd and final year of his 3-year, 30 million dollar contract with the Houston Astros. Unfortunately for the Astros, Andy has been injured on and off during his tenure with them, and had to shut it down completely for an extended period of time after having elbow surgery in 2004.
He has remained non-committal about signing an extension with the Astros, saying that he prefers to wait and see how he feels towards the end of the 2006 season.
When the Yankees chose not to re-sign Pettitte at the end of the 2003 season, their primary concern was that his elbow was ready to blow. They anticipated a need for surgery.
And they were right.
Now that Andy has had surgery and rest on the Astros' watch, will the Yankees bring back one of their most reliable post-season pitchers during their incredible run from 1996 to 2000?
No one knows for sure, not even Andy. But I have a gut feeling that Andy will return to the Bronx in 2007.
