There has been plenty of consternation this offseason about the shaky state of the Yankees’ pitching staff. The team enjoys the benefit of employing ace Masahiro Tanaka, but beyond him, the rotation is littered with question marks (and even Tanaka himself has a bit of an injury history). CC Sabathia was strong last season, but he’s old, and Michael Pineda is forever confounding. Younger pitchers like Luis Severino and Chad Green are unproven.
Still, on the whole, the baseline from which the Yankees pitchers are starting isn’t a complete disaster.
