The New York Yankees have managed to build an impressive collection of talent in their rotation. Behind proven ace Gerrit Cole, they have newcomers Corey Kluber and Jameson Taillon, plus homegrown starters Jordan Montgomery, Domingo German, Deivi Garcia, and Clarke Schmidt.
However, there is just no way to deny that more than half of those guys are severe injury risks. Kluber has suffered a litany of injuries in the last two years, while Taillon, German, Schmidt, Montgomery, and German are all Tommy John surgery survivors.
Yankees’ pitching coach Matt Blake is well aware of the risk attached to the group as a whole.
