you contradicted yourself a little bit there. CC, AJ, AP?, Joba, Hughes is perfectly fine with Wang? Gaudin/Mitre, Kennedy, Nova, McAllister backing them up

Joba and Phil “will only get better”?

Not sure I agree. The jury remains out on both of them as starters. I think they are both promising, but they are anything but a lock to improve. Some guys just don’t fulfill on their potential.

For the first three months — and not coincidentally, through his first 110.2 innings — he was masterful. After 20 starts, Joba was 7-2 with a 3.58 ERA.

Heh. I’ve always wanted a player to take a knee while he was interviewing them, just for the sake of comedy.

His low K rate caused him to get injured?

Whys everyone talking about Joba’s innings next yr and not the fact that he was flat out awful as a starter?

You cant rely on him next yr to be a top starter. You go out and get another top of the rotation starter and you let Hughes/Joba battle it out.

You cannot go into the season relying on both of them to be good starters.

The Yanks starting pitching depth is as good as any team. You can’t very well sign quality big league starting pitchers and tell them “If 2 guys get hurt, you are our man!”

Lackey is a legit top of the rotation starter.

Isnt having a top rotation kinda key??

And you cant expect Hughes to throw 160+ innings and we all saw how terrible Joba was as a starter.

Expecting anything from Wang has to be a joke.

The terrible K rate finally caught up to him.
