Well, it's official -- pitchers and catchers have reported to George M. Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees' Spring Training home.
Unfortunately, for me, like most Yankees fans, with their threadbare pitching staff, they might as well have reported to a Little League field. With just two reliable (we hope) starting pitchers, the remainder of their rotation is a big question mark.
So, after C.C. and Phil Hughes, who is worthy of putting on the Pinstripes?
Let me start with who is getting paid to wear and perform in the Pinstripes. That would be the overly-inked and overpaid A.J. Burnett. He's got at least three years and $55million dolars remaining on his contract.
Last year, however, he went a pathetic 10-15, and should have been forced to donate his inflated salary to the paying fans who had to put up with his horrific performances every fifth day.
Then there are the other four no-name or hads-been pitchers who are competing for the final two spots in the back-end of the rotation.
And speaking of back-end, has anybody seen the enlarged one on Joba Chamberlain?
