| You can never have too much pitching.But in the Yankees case, they actually might have enough in the cupboard this season, which would justify not making any big moves to upgrade their staff after the lockout is over.Although right-hander Jameson Taillon is coming off ankle surgery that is expected to keep him out until late-April/early-May , believes that the Yankees rotation and pitching staff is already well-stocked without him.Theyre in sneaky good shape with the rotation and pitching staff as a Alex Colome Jersey whole. ... While a team can always use more pitching, blah, blah, blah, the Yanks have: Gerrit Cole, Jordan Montgomery, Luis Severino, Nestor Cortes, Domingo German, Luis Gil and Clarke Schmidt all expected to be ready for the start of the season, wrote Martino.The Yankees also have who was impre sive last season once he shifted to a full-time role in the bullpen. The only knock against this unit is that there isnt a clear-cut No. 2 starter behind their Edwin Encarnacion Jersey ace, Cole. While Severino came on strong out of the bullpen in a long relief role down the stretch of last season when he finally returned from a slew of injuries, he has mi sed too much time since the start of 2019. Severino can certainly get back to being a co-ace, given his ability, but his injury history Jay Buhner Jersey makes him a major question mark since his last full campaign came in 2018.READ: Scroll to ContinueTaillon is another option that could po sibly emerge as the Yankees second-best starter after Cole, but he has dealt with injuries in the past as well and endured an up-and-down season in his first year in the Bronx in 2021. Not to mention, Taillon will mi s the early portion of the season and there is no guarantee that he will be able to stay healthy upon rejoining the club.There are also a number of additional questions that have yet to be answered on the Yankees pitching staff as well. Will Cortes and Gil continue to progre s? Can Schmidt stay healthy and keep developing? Will Deivi Garcia bounce back? Will German take things to the next level? And how Austin Adams Jersey many innings can this group give them?Regardle s, the Yankees have a slew of pitchers, most of whom have shown flashes at the big Justin Dunn Jersey -league level, that are expected to receive a significant amount of starts this season.The Yankees also have a strong bullpen that features Aroldis Chapman, Chad Green, Jonathan Loaisiga, Joely Rodriguez, Wandy Peralta, Clay Holmes and Lucas Luetge.At this point, the Yankees dont exactly have another superstar hurler beyond Cole, but they do have a deep pitching staff with good stuff, who will likely be counted on in 2022.MORE: | |
