Yankees: CC to the 15 Day DL
The Yanks have just put CC Sabathia on the 15 Day DL with fluid on his knee. Looks like Aceves will take his place in the rotation. I wonder if 15 days will be enough for "a knee." This is of course the third time the Yanks have had to DL a starter they were counting on. Pineda could be back fairly soon. Nova's gone for the year and has already had surgery, and now CC could be gone for awhile. If it's prolonged it might be time to stretch out Betances or give one of the other kids on the farm a shot. We don't just need healthy pitchers, we need good ones.

This team was always operating under the assumption that CC would rebound and Kuroda would remain strong. If it gets later in the season and the season is in limbo, bite the bullet and let a guy like Banuelos get the ball every fifth day.
Banuelos has never been stretched out enough to take a spot in the rotation, though they say they're saving him early this season for later.
Stop paying big money to older players, of course, they only do that because they have sucked at development.
