When I ask you to think of the worst pitching staff in Yankees history, you probably have a year or era that comes to mind. For a lot of us, that might be the ones from those mid-2000s teams. Many years in that era, the read of the Yankees was that they had an excellent lineup but no pitching, and it would come back to cost them in the postseason.
The thing about those years, and most in franchise history, is that even if the staff is total is bad, there’s still some solid pitchers in there.
