NJ Advanced Media | Randy Miller: Are the Yankees mishandling pitcher Michael King? King has proved himself through two starts and is one of the few Yankees players who has excelled in the team’s disappointing start to the season. Despite his solid performances, King has been sent to the Yankees’ alternate site after each of his two appearances, and now he cannot return to the big league club until April 27. The Yankees are clearly taking advantage of the flexibility King provides in their roster management, since the right-hander still has options left.
