Prior to Spring Training, New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi stated the main competition in camp would be the final two spots in a rotation that contains ace Masahiro Tanaka, CC Sabathia and Michael Pineda.
But as the starters go through their second go-round in the rotation competition, the Yankees have a problem that every camp wished they had: all of their starters in the battle are shutting down the opposition.
Luis Cessa, Luis Severino, Bryan Mitchell, Adam Warren and Chad Green all pitched well in the first go-around, and prior to Cessa’s second start against the Boston Red Sox, the starters pitched 10 scoreless innings.
