    relax people. jeez some of you guys are panicking already. there are on a 103 win pace. no need to sign or trade for anyone just yet. plenty of time for that.
    The overreactions after the first series of the season were absurd as are any overreactions now. 

    That said, I don't think it's a stretch to say that this team isn't winning the world series with this pitching staff and they need help.  Not like this wasn't a point in the offseason as well.

    Agree mostly but the point was it's way too early to make a bad trade or signing of the likes of Kimbrel. plenty of time to help out the pitching staff.  Of course if Nola is hurt and not letting on...  the fact is this is a good team and will be in the race all year long.  can tweak later without over paying in April.

    Or, you know the bullpen or the rotation could be an issue so why not sign someone now rather than give up people later

    you can say that about every team in the both leagues.  I mean your Yanks are in worse shape with all the injuries why haven't they signed either guy?  are you advocating the same for every other team or just this one?

    See point above about when it's August. Regardless, though, the rotation is more of a long-term issue to me than the bullpen. That can be remedied right now with a decent pitcher slotted in the middle of the rotation that will only cost you money and not players.

    I think Keuchel kinda stinks (or will) and I think the bullpen is the least of the Yankees worries right about now, but I of course would be open to signing anyone.  If there were better position players available, I'd be beating the drum for them to be signing people for sure.

    Edit: I do think the Yanks should consider Keuchel with the Severino news.  Gio will be up soon too.

    I also think Milwaukee and Atlanta and Washington should also sign Kimbrell.

    Who here is panicking? We’ve all been saying they need an additional pitcher since the end of last season...

    I'm not panicking. I'm more frustrated than anything. But yeah we still need to add at least one solid pitcher to the roster.

    That's my point. The lineup is among the absolute best in baseball. But everyone has been saying we need to bolster the rotation and I fully expect them to do so, one way or the other, at some point....
