spring training game 18.
with deivi again pitching well,
come playoff time cole might slip to sp#3.
Why the hate for Cole? If he is #3 you can forget about the playoffs.
 
cole is a great pitcher. i love him. 
i just think the world of german.
with deivi, the upside is limitless.
this team has the best/deepest starters in a long, long time.

Devi will probably be number 6 in line to start.
 
 
I see former NYY and Mets VeryGood Al Leiter's son retired 27 in a row after an opening walk yesterday.

Between him and his fellow Vandy pitcher they have 2 of the top players in the upcoming draft.

Not sure Devi's upside is limitless.  He gets compared to Pedro Martinez a lot, but if you watch him pitch, his stuff isn't the same.  Pedro threw 95-97 with movement to both sides of the plate and his changeup was lethal.
Devi throws a flat 4 seamer and has an OK change up.  His stuff is more like Marcus Stroman than Pedro.  That's nothing to sneeze at but it isn't top of the rotation stuff.  

I see the rotation this way:
Opening Day:  Cole, Kluber, Tallion, Monty, German
After Sevy returns:   Cole, Sevy, Kluber, Taillon, German/Monty
Post Season if all goes reasonably well:   Cole, Kluber, Sevy, Taillon

The depth and potential of the Yankees starting pitching is insane.   Never seen anything like it in pinstripes:
Cole
Sevy
Kluber
Taillon
German
Montgomery
Garcia
Schmidt
King
Gil
Loisiaga

Scary thing is there are 10 more guys behind them in the system with huge upside.  Good times to be a Yankee fan for sure.
 
spring training game 20.
the anemic yankee bats scored 7 runs against the jays pitcher, that last year had the second worse era in baseball.
frazier and voit hit the ball well.
oh, and by the way the yankee starter went 5 good innings.
struck out 8, when the ump had a very narrow plate all day long.
 
spring training game 20.
yankee sticks continuing to stay cold.
stanton staying hot.
chapman fine tuning.
 
Yankees' bats are in postseason form.  Sanchez back to striking out multiple times.  Ugh.  Another lefty reliever goes down.
 
spring training game 21.
silly exhibition game. 18 walks.
the tauch making strong bid to get on roster.
gittens making strong bid to be backup 1b.
kluber making strong bid for the sp#4 spot.

Gittens have zero chance of making roster but maybe I'm interfering with you stand up comedy career.
 
Spring training game 22.
Setback for deivi today.
the yankee lineup was filled with first stringers, but got hit with the ugly sticks. ten total bases. no runs.
stanton stays red hot. gardy making boone's lf decision tough.
gittens struck out swinging on what was probably an illegal spitter.
I have the 1:45am to 2am stand-up spot at the local cracker barrel!

If Frazier doesn't play 130 games/500AB, at a minimum, then Boone and Cashman should find other work. 

This is exactly the reason I didn't want Gardner back.  Fans, and the press/talking heads will be pushing for him every time Frazier goes 0-12.  He's a nice security blanket as a 5th OF,  but it will be criminal if we get to November and we still don't know what Frazier can do.  
 
IMVHO. it is spring training game 23.
dormant yankee sticks had a triple double - runs, hits, walks,
highlighted by 1b backup gittens monstrous getty goner.
phillie hitters had a double double in hits and runs.
phillie infielders and yankee rejects, torreyes and gregorious, batting under the mendosa line.
