""Three of your [rotation] guys starting on the IL is a disaster. You look at what the Yankees have in their place and you're like, 'That still might be pretty good.' And it's not like it has to last the season.""
""Lagrange, because of his 6-7 frame and 103-mph fastball, prompted the most headlines, but Rodriguez generally is considered the more refined of the two and closer to the majors as a starter.""
The Yankees will begin the season with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, and Clarke Schmidt on the injured list. Despite this setback, the team feels confident about their pitching depth. Max Fried will start the season opener, supported by Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, Ryan Weathers, and Luis Gil. Veteran swingmen Paul Blackburn and Ryan Yarbrough provide additional depth. Two promising pitching prospects, Elmer Rodriguez and Carlos Lagrange, have shown potential during spring training, with Rodriguez viewed as more refined and closer to the majors.
