Cessa is also in the mix for the 5th starter spot.
He had the most success by far of all the young starters last year. Not sure why he hasn't been more of a favorite for the spot thus far. Good velocity, decent off speed stuff, decent command. Lots to like.
just said Green and Montgomery will compete for the 5th spot next few weeks. No word of Mitchell.
As many said I think Green is the favorite since he's already on the 40 man and is a bit more seasoned, but the Yankees can easily make room for Montgomery if needed.
No need to make room right now. April has a number of off-days which means they won't need the 5th starter for a few weeks. Better to help the 5th guy stay sharp by pitching every 4 days in the minors until a five man rotation is needed
Yea. They're going to use off days to skip the 5th SP the first couple times through the rotation. That will let them keep an 8th RP on also.
who does not lack speed. However, anytime the subject of speed is brought up in a discussion, serves well to remember that it doesn't translate into wins on a baseball field. Yes, if he has everything else, let him be fast as well. But an outfielder with average speed who gets a good copy on the ball, is far better than a sprinter who breaks late or wrongly. Don Mattingly was an excellent base runner. Herb Washington was terrible. In baseball , we worry about 180. Can the runner get two bases on a normal sequence play? Ref is a good hitter with doubles power. It's too bad Girardi made up his mind about him in 50 ABs.
Torreyes is this season's JR Murphy. He will bat 150 until he gets released. Last season's batting was a jerk off. And keeping Kozma means their 9-hole will hit like like a pitcher for the first month.
It's obvious Jar Head pulled a Ralph Houk. He made up his mind before they reported to camp. I'm glad he and Rothchild are working in the last year of their contracts. But I am happy they went with Judge.
Bernie was a bad base stealer and it led people to think very early in his career he would be a bust since he had a ton of speed when he was young. Miss the Bernie.

He went with as good a chance as anyone to win the 5th spot but didn't really shine when given the chance.
RE: I know you can't have HOFers at every BP position Â
but what is our facination with Warren and Sberve. They kind of stink. Even Clippard is blah
Clippard is far better than blah. Warren is valuable due to his versatility. Shreve is a JAG, but JAG lefty relievers have better job security than just about anyone
They are ready. I hope they get off to a solid start but if they don't, I won't panic. Hope for them to be solid for years and they will learn as they go. Judge has done a good job this spring making contact, cutting down on K's, batting .345. Also like Montgomery, he reminds me of a young Andy (and it took Andy a few years to hit his stride). Hope Gary Denbo keeps 'em coming.
Judge just had an RBI single. He and Bird had two nice ABs, working the count and fouling off pitches. Such a difference between them and Carter, who took a lumberjack swing and miss and then fouled out impotently on the second pitch.
what team is Rutherford starting out on this year? Â
This team isn't winning anything, so we don't have to be so reactionary when it comes to growing pains. I fear the Yankees giving up on Luis too early and make a Jake Arrieta-type dumb trade or sticking him in the bullpen.
so he stinks at two spots. Clippard has jumped the minow and shreve is a poor lefty. I think these guys will bring unhappiness to fans when they pitch. Can't wait to move on to better talent

Warren is a borderline starter and a valuable long reliever. He rarely gets hammered and is likely to hold the line if called upon. He's not pefect, but nobody expects him to be.
Ty Clippard was very effective as the 7th inning guy. He's good enough to close if necessary.
Shreve is a ? each time out and even batter to batter. I don't think he finishes the year with the Yanks.
Right now, he isn't an MLB starter. He needs to work out his issues in the minors, not up with the big league club.
Why is that? He has dominated the minors. He has to learn to pitch in the bigs. What good does sending him down do?
You guys need to show some damn patience for once. Christ. This team isn't winning the World Series. There is no better time to let Severino go out there and see what he can do. Worst case scenario is he ends up in the pen. If Severino is to figure things out as a starter, he has to face MLB bats.

He needs to go down because he needs to seriously improve his secondary pitches. He doesn't just need to get used to the majors. He needs on the job work done, which should be done in the minors.

And, it is more patient to send him down than force him to do on the job training on his pitches.

Well the Yankees obviously disagree with you. And the fact that they've been almost overly patient recently with prospects, I don't think it's accurate to accuse them of "forcing" anything. They have sent him down several times to work on his secondary pitches and he dominates minor leaguers. It does absolutely no good to send him down again.
There is no problem with Sev pitching in NY this year because no Â
matter what they say, they are not going to be serious contenders this year, its a development year. If everything goes right and they contend it's gravy. The main point of this year is to solidfy Sanchez, Bird, Judge, Sev and possibly Montgomery as long term solutions. ANythin above that is gravy.

Good for Judge.
Almost certainly Charleston.

In my last inning here, Blake Rutherford dropped an absolute BOMB. Video later. #Yankees
