Hopefully A-Rod and CC look good for the rest of the year.

And hopefully Cano heats up. Chavez actually hitting great. .371 BA

I don’t think he’s in, he’s had the worst outings of all 4 applicants. I think it means he’s out, and it will be Colon and Nova.

February 14th, pitchers, catchers, and Messiahs report to Spring Training.

Possibly

I just don’t want it to be Colon. I don’t think he’ll last, either. But if that’s the case, maybe we’ll get to see Warren, Brackman, or Betances by June…

I’m skeptical of Colon’s health too, but let’s be honest, he has looked surprisingly good this Spring. Fastball at 93 with big two seam action, and his control looks solid. The dude hasn’t been healthy in like six years, maybe he needed that year off to get healthy.

Beyond that, though, he will basically be our 5th starter, and we are only paying him 1M. If he just gives us .2 WAR, that’s a victory for us, considering we got -.3 total WAR from the fifth spot last year (and Nova was the only one in positive wins).

A few days ago someone from either ESPN or NESN (same thing) claimed that it was actually Kevin Russo who could jump on stuff. Right.

A Meat Tray will go right to the Colon

I can hardly believe that Meat has two more starts.

It’s got to be either Garcia or : for the 5 spot. Neither one makes me feel good. Hopefully one or the other will eat enough innings so that they can eventually call up Banuelos and let him go every 5 days.

The Yankees have gotten basically 0 WAR from the 5 spot in the rotation, and I don’t see Meat, Garcia, or : adding any.
