What J.A. Happ needs to do to right the ship with the Yankees

At the beginning of spring training, it was hard not to be excited for this coming season. The team was coming off a 100-win campaign. The bullpen received a couple of additions to again make it one of the most feared bullpens in the league. The starting rotation acquired James Paxton and then re-signed J.A. Happ, who didn’t lose a single game during the regular season with the Yankees. Yet one look at the team’s losing record today and spring training feels very far away. The relievers can’t seem to go an outing without allowing a run, and both southpaws in the rotation haven’t gotten off to a good start.
