No one will deny it.
The 2017 New York Yankees have immense potential, but will ultimately be held back by a rotation that consists of nothing but question after question.
Entering this season, Masahiro Tanaka, who maintained the third-best ERA in the American League in 2016, CC Sabathia, who’s coming off his best season since 2012, and Michael Pineda who was the AL Leader in K/9, lead the charge.
Following those ostensible locks, the Yankees have either unproven or questionable arms competing with each other for the latter two spots.
