Really?! Your pitching is really thin when you have Phil Coke pitching for you at AAA. It’s really bad, when you have Phil Coke pitching for you in the majors.

There’s nothing wrong with that at all. They’re not thin, they just don’t immediately need a young guy up.

I’ll agree with that. At least Coke is a MLB vet with experience at getting people out and not some MiLB career guy just going from organization to organization year after year with -0- chance of EVER getting an AB, or inning of pitching at the MLB level, seemingly just around to cash in on that “huge” 20-30k bounty career MiLB guys make and nothing else, while mostly reaking as those 30+YO types do both at the plate and on the mound.. Yet organizations can’t wait to fill up both AAA and AA rosters half way with these types year after year with these clogging types,

Totally agree this guy is the definition of “castoff”

Pretty sure Coke will be gone once Chapman gets here.

Right now the Yanks don’t have may minor league starters on the 40 man roster right now because they like to utilize the Scranton shuttle for relievers. At AAA it’s either Cessa or Coke for the call up. They could always but Nova back in the rotation, but if he’s not stretched out it taxes the bullpen.
FWIW, I’m kind of hoping that the Yankees start selling off players and make this a rebuilding year, but with a weak AL East the Yankees it’s highly doubtful they will take that approach. Besides, who do they have to sell that anyone would be willing to take?

Yankees could have Julio Teheran if they wanted.

Julio is pitching good so far I think I could see a deal making sense with the framework being Sanchez. Probably have to involve more on both sides but def could see it happening.
