    Alright, so August 8th is exactly 6 weeks. Say he can keep his arm in shape and will need a couple rehabs before he comes back. So let's say 9 weeks, August 29th. With off days (7) and being able to skip people let's say they need to get through 10 starts. With this offense if they go .500 in those games, they should be good. Fingers crossed, it's going to get tense

    How does one team start a year with too much starting pitching and go through this stuff year after year? :fp:

    Screw the kids. Bring back Roger Clemens. I bet he still has another half year left at least in that arm.

    Manageable. Doesn't sound like they are going to get desperate and go for a big name. I am excited to see Warren. Going to be real interesting. Injuries happen, there was no way this team was going to get through the season with 5 starters. Just get through the next couple weeks until CC is back and things should be alright.

    Fortunately, it looks Baltimore is going to lose again which would give the Yanks a 5 game lead in the division.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Warren also. It sounds like Betances is going to be demoted to Double-A, which leads me to doubt if we'll see him for the Yankees this year. My guess is the Yankees perform their due diligence on the available starting pitchers such as Dempster and if it's a good fit they make a move. If not, they should get through it. Remember in 2005, they lost Pavano, Wright and Kevin Brown, three far less superior pitchers and replaced them with Aaron Small, Shawn Chacon and Al Leiter. That trio had a combined record of 21-8 in 45 starts.

    Adam Warren scouting report


    He really throws two fastballs, a two-seamer and a four-seamer. His two-seamer comes in at around 90-92 mph, but his four seamer is his real bread and butter coming in at around 93-96. His pinpoint control is what really sets his fastball apart from others.

    Warren also uses a mix of sliders, curveballs, and changeups to catch hitters off guard. He used a curve in college, but the Yankees have put in a lot of work on improving it and it has become his best pitch. Warren’s changeup has also become a great pitch for him because he is able to locate it so well, but it does not have exceptional break.

    Good stuff and he has been much better of late. He has earned it.

    The issues Betances has had is really too bad. He seems like a real good kid. It's tough to get your mechanics down when you're that big. Hopefully getting off this absurd triple a schedule will help and being closer to home.

    Still keep reading about Greinke.

    Yeah, Yankees scouted his last start but I'd imagine they are scouting every potential pitcher than may hit the market. They watched Wandy Rodriguez pitch last week or so. Due dilligence I am sure.

    I like Greinke.

    He would make a nice addition if they could work out a contract and get the supposed "anxiety" under control.

    Agreed, would take a lot though and not sure that would justify it. I'd really like him on the team though. I don't think the anxiety is as big of an issue as it's made out to be. He was his own agent breifly and is pitching well.

    That's why I used the quotes with anxiety. I don't think it's an issue either.

    Ahhh, yeah, media needs something to write about. The bigger revelation is that you and I agree on somethign Yankee related :lol:

    I still think they should bring Damon and Clemens back too.

    Yeah. I don't think raising the average age is going to help this team much. I just hope that Hughes and Nova can maintain some consistency over the next several weeks. Garcia is gonna need to step it up and I'd like to see David Phelps get some starts.
