Yankees Mailbag: Six-man rotations, the Ottavino trade, and Estevan Florial

Good afternoon everyone, let’s dive into another round of mailbag questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.

lioneldubinsky asks: With all the pitchers not throwing many innings last season, what are the chances of the Yankees deploying a six-man rotation?

I’d say it’s non-zero, but highly unlikely that the Yankees go to six starters. For one thing, they haven’t used it in the past when players like Masahiro Tanaka benefited from the extra rest.
