Lol well if anyone can take on the salary it's the Yankees. Is he starting? Even though he's sucked the last few years he still seems like a guy you could get lightning in a bottle with, he was a nice player not too long ago..

he'll be starting in April or platooning with Bosch


but we'll be going with Gardiner, ichiro and Grandyman if they are all healthy.  that's a lethal lineup....3 speedy guys  two guys who can hit for average and the other one will hit 30 homers

This.

I would much rather they gave someone from AAA a shot at some playing time over Wells.

They should just get wild & throw the kids in the fire. Their top three prospects are Tyler Austin, Gary Sanchez & Mason Williams. Two outfielders & a catcher. I get Harper was an absolute phenom, but let the kids play. I'd pay to watch the future. I can't sit there & watch Vernon, Curtis, Ichiro & Gardner hit a combined .207.

He was supposed to be ready in the rotation for the start of the season. But due to recent setbacks, they're placing him on the 60-Day DL & are expecting a June debut. Hopefully we're still relevant by then lol.

I see you've discovered the Yankees' motto.

Their top three prospects are Tyler Austin, Gary Sanchez & Mason Williams

As much as I want to see those guys play none of them have ever played above single-A, they're far from MLB ready. If you want to see them play go see a RiverDogs game.
If anything the home-grown guys that should've gotten the job are either Mesa or Almonte.

I'm going to take this as a sign that Cashman doesn't know how to trust his own farmsystem and give anyone who's not over 35 a chance. I don't know if it's because he's discouraged after seeing his last few attempts at creating a contender using his farm-hands fail in front of his eyes (like the three headed monster that was supposed to be Hughes-Chamberlain-Kennedy or the one that came after it with Brackman, Betances and Banuelos) but until management finally shows a willingness to put more trust and effort into developing prospects I'm going to think that Cashman & co. will find some way to screw up the potentially bright future the Yankees have with Sanchez, Austin, Williams, Heathcott, Campos and Hensley.
