Yanks: Pineda Now Said To Be Out Till August

Reports have come out that always injured Yankee RHP Michael Pineda, who was due back from his latest shoulder adjacent injury, won't be back till August.    This is bad news for a couple of reasons.   First, two years down the line, we're still not getting any production out of Pineda and Campos.

Second, and this will be the bitch,  the Yankees will now trade for another starter.  And they will pay through the nose.  This will especially happen, if the offense starts performing to an average or above average, with Cash saying they deserved a chance to make the post season, so he had to pull the trigger on Lee or some other old guy.  It will lop the top off our prospect pool, probably costing us Sanchez, Clarkin and another high upside guy.

So we better hope CC comes back soon and is better and that Phelps pitches like good Phelps, because that's the only way we can now avoid a painful trade
