If Pineda can regain form then he would be a front line starter and Hughes is reminding me of AJ in that if there is one thing consistent about him is his inconsistency.

Now, if Pineda can bounce back and be a #2 I'd like the rotation better. Kuroda and Petitte as a 3/4 is about where they need to be at this point in their career. Hughes, Phelps, Nova... frick them.

Angels or Texas will possibly have Greinke in their rotation. If not, they will make a play for a big arm.

Detroit has Fister too.

I do agree that they need some youth and someone to step up as ace as they can't just rely on CC. Hopefully Pineda can bounce back and become ace 1A

Sucks that Betances and Banuelos flopped last season. Hopefully they can be the youth the Yanks seek.

I'm high on Hughes I think he can be a solid #2 or 3 as he showed over second half of last season. First month and a half his ERA was up over 8 and I believe in June/July has was in lower 3's.

Nova won't be anything more than innings eater #5 IMO
Phelps showed some promise last year posting a sub 4 era in spot duty and long relief.

Yankees don't have a true #2 but they have Pettite/Kuroda as great 3/4's
