I'm going to wait until we are closer to Coles return but if I had to make a decision today it might be Stroman. I didn't like the signing and while he has been better than I expected I sense he's starting a bit of a decline. Hope he proves me wrong, but I think Gil and Schmidt are both young pitchers who seem to be getting better. I'd like to see that continue. Now, if despite what they have said and Gil is actually on an innings limit then he's your huckleberry. I don’t think he has an official limit based on the innings he pitched in MiLB previous to his injury… |

If the playoff were today who is your 1-4? #5 goes to the pen or see if an injury clears a spot.

Not my choice, but I think Gil is the odd man out. I like the Gil/Schmidt tandem idea, but the Yanks won't do that. I also agree with chi, and it will all sort it's self out.

It would be crazy to mess with Gil, their youngest and currently the Yankees best starter ... worry about innings when and if you need to worry about it Schmidt is young, consistent and getting better all of the time. Your cross that bridge if and when you get there |

I can remember piggyback pitching situations in the minor leagues going back into maybe the 90’s, and there has been speculation about them in MLB since then, but I don’t know of a single example where it’s been tried other than a spot start, somehow it just doesn’t work… |

I would like for Rodon go to the bull pen but that will never happen. It will be Gil because of his control problems.

I heard that Gil isn't on an innings limit. Just my 2 cents...But if that's correct it's all the more reason for the Yankees to have a 6 man rotation with the option of Cole pitching on 4 days rest for an important game/series.

I’ve always disliked the idea of a six man rotation, if for no other reason than you switch from pitching your best 5 pitchers to your best six while also losing a bullpen arm or a bench player. Of course that was my reason when I opposed the five man rotation over the four man rotation… |

I'm not sure Cole is even going to be the Yankees best pitcher when he comes back.
They can afford to bring Cole along real slow for now ... have him be a 1,2, or 3 inning opener for Cortez for a couple of months

Of course that was my reason when I opposed the five man rotation over the four man rotation… Yeah with how much more relievers are used nowadays, even with a 26 man roster you can't afford to shorten the pen by even one arm. And the 6 man rotation throws every SP out of their rhythm. I bet it will be Gil that gets moved to the pen and he'll start by throwing 2+ innings after Cole, at least to begin with. He could end up having a 2023 Michael King type of season, only with his starts coming early instead of at the end of the season. 104 innings would be a lot for him IMO after barely pitching for the past 2 years. |

At this point, I’m just glad it’s not my decision to make. Who says you can’t have too much pitching? …

Of course that was my reason when I opposed the five man rotation over the four man rotation… If the Bullpen is shortened it's a trade off because the extra rest that comes with having a 6 man rotation allows starters to stay in the game a little longer. Plus, the Bullpen would still have 7 relief pitchers. The 8th reliever usually isn't used that much anyway.
Also, a 6 man rotation isn't edged in stone. There's always the option of using a pitcher on 4 days rest if needed. |
