Yankees Suddenly Are Looking Armed and Dangerous

Yankees pitching suddenly looks like the strength of the organization when it looked like the main weakness only two weeks ago. That can all change quickly. Hitters might figure out Montgomery and Pineda has shown a penchant for following dominating starts with depressing ones. One awful outing might send Severino into another emotional meltdown.

But that is all just maybes. Right now, here on April 19^th, the Yankees have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. And that extends from the mound to the bullpen and all the way to Trenton. Plus, the Yankees do not need all of these pitchers to remain pitching at the highest level.

They only need one of them to become a real number two, someone who wins 18 games and throws up an ERA below 3.40 for the season. That looks increasingly likely, and the smart money is on Severino.

So if you want to see Dietrich Enns pitch any time soon, or Chance Adams, or Justus Sheffield, it looks like you will have to travel to a minor league park. The good news is that no matter which ballpark you watch a Yankees team play in, you are likely to see pitching excellence.

Yankees Luis Severino Let his Body Do the Talking

Severino has regained the look and swagger of El Primo. There is renewed hope in Yankees Universe that he can become the Ace he once looked to be.

Of course, I don’t know how the story of the 2017 Yankees will read at season’s end. All I know is that chapter one has been both surprising and promising. And that is all ye know in Yankees Universe, and all ye need to know.
