The Yankees in May – Part Two – On the Mound
The pitching led us to a .500 record in May – which isn’t good enough – but encouragingly all the wins came from pitchers who for one reason or another took a spot in the rotation during that month.

The Yankees in May – Part One – At the Plate
May was a difficult month for the Bronx Bombers. It opened with Eric Chavez headed to the disabled list and then the bullpen fell apart. Mariano Rivera and then, his replacement as closer, David Robertson both went to the DL with Rivera done for the season.

Pitching was going to be the Yankees strength this season. That was the theory. And then Michael Pineda went on the disabled list and then to the 60-day DL. Now one pitcher who ends up out of action before he starts (Pedro Feliciano) might be unfortunate but when it happens on consecutive seasons then the alarm bells start to ring. How did the rest do….?

The Yankees after Spring Training
The Yankees came out of Spring training with pretty much the roster you would have predicted if you’d have sat down with pencil and scrap paper and roughed it out before they began.
And there’s something worrying about that……
