    Who knows how long he returns for. He was able to go for 140+IP last year and was our second best starters in the postseason. I'll take that again. The rotation is the same one that got us to Game 7 of the ALCS. The problem is small sample sizes and some early command issues. Sevy has been dominant in 3 of 4 starts. Montgomery has been himself for 2 of 3. Gray has had one good, one poor and one horrible start with lack of command early on. Tanaka has two good and two bad starts so far. CC hasn't given long innings (one start left due to injury, last night due to pitch count coming off injury at 70 pitches and 5IP in first start of season), but he has been effective in his short work. Even with all the inconsistencies and the weather, we are exactly in the middle of the pack in terms of starters ERA in the AL and I anticipate that to improve with the weather. Either way, saying we are taking on water is just dumb. Our starters haven't been great, but they've only knocked us out of a few games themselves. Our pen has been shaky, but you have to figure that'll get turned around. We are going to be 90+ wins this year, bank on it. Your team has started hot, but they're primed to rebound. When they do, we will be there
    Hal sucks

    Won't other teams' starters "improve with the weather" as well?

    I thought it was hitters that improve with the weather.

    I created the thread to track the hospital like environment in the yankee clubhouse at the beggining of the season

    I heard Ellsbury has another injury: "Plantar fasciitis"

    The new "american idle", at this pace he will beat Pavano with his DL trips

    It's actually better for the roster that Ellsbury is on the DL. We don't really need 5 OFers on the 25.

    Maybe the Yankees will be at full strength in time for a one game , wild card playoff with the Angels.

    That says it all about Jacoby's current value.

    Yep

    terible contract but it's becoming one of the worst contracts in yankee history (we have quite a few)

    I saw an article with some good things to say about Frazier, I hope he comes back soon. He needs to be ready for the next Hicks injury, I know I'm being pessimistic, but unles Hicks starts showing some durability he will be injury prone in my book
