Glass-proofing Yankees

Because the Yankees have a fetish for high-risk players (players with either a bad injury track record or a playing style that's high risk for injuries - like flame throwers), the team has dealt with the injury bug a lot the past few years. Here's a few ideas for quick fixes for what they already have (the long term fix is stop acquiring those types of players):

1. Move Ellsbury to DH
2. Move Pineda and Eovaldi (if they sign him again) to the ML bullpen and Acevedo, Clarkin and Kaprelian to the bullpen in the minors. I do not include Severino here since he's not a major injury risk.
3. Add a 6th starter to allow Tanaka and CC to pitch on at least 5 days rest

This is just an idea so if you have some legit thoughts on it, then I would love to hear it. If you just want to insult and berate the idea, as some of you PAers (you know who you are) tend to do, then please move along to another post. Thank you.
