Yanks Win Again!

The Yanks just beat the Orioles 2-1 off a strong seven inning start by Hiroki Kuroda and a homerun from Eric Chavez. Both players represent the kind of veteran band-aids the Yankees should be hiring while they transition once again to a more homegrown roster. It was the second good start in a row, after CC's win yesterday.

Speaking of transitioning to a homegrown core, while we were focused on the Giants draft, the Yanks moved Garcia to the pen and put David Phelps in the rotation, calling up DJ Mitchell for the long man roll in the pen. These are the sort of moves that could have been made to buy time for Banuelos and Betances to develop instead of making the trade that was made. We'll see how it works out. Phelps is scheduled to start Thursday.
