@GreedyStripes CC to the pen, Nova is lousy. Bring up ANYBODY else. Oh and DFA Capuano...AGAIN.

The New York Yankees rebounded nicely in their game
yesterday afternoon with the Houston Astros but how could they not? After you
allow 15 runs to a team the night before almost anything can be constituted as
a bounce back. Ivan Nova started that game and looked strong and sharp until he
allowed a triple that shouldn’t have been in my opinion that led to everything
falling apart. With Nova now ineffective in multiple starts and CC Sabathia on
the disabled list I truly wanted to know what you, the fan, thought the Yankees
should do if and when CC comes back from the DL. Should the team insert CC into
the rotation and go back to the six-man rotation idea? Should Nova be bounced
to the bullpen in favor of CC? Should both go to the bullpen and Adam Warren or
Bryan Mitchell get the chance to start? Be heard, it’s The Greedy Pinstripes
Twitter Poll:
@GreedyStripes I'm not sending Nova to the pen...He'll bounce back.

@GreedyStripes Can CC's knee handle starting? Maybe he's better off limiting his innings. Can still throw 1-2 from pen

@GreedyStripes Yanks need to see what they have in Nova. CC is old & not very athletic. There's nothing shameful to try a new role in BP.

CC’s knee proved that it could not be counted on over the
course of a season. With every opportunity the Yankees had they gave CC an
extra day of rest and with every look of a big inning on the horizon manager
Joe Girardi pulled Sabathia despite his pitch count or inning total. His knee
was still drained twice already this season, as expected, and he was still
placed on the DL with the same degenerative knee condition. CC cannot make 25
starts a season anymore because his knee cannot handle it. I hate to say it, I
like CC and his teammate and fiery competitor attitude that he brings to the
table but reality is reality. Sabathia and the Yankees have already said the
only remedy to this knee injury is to stop pitching. That’s not really an
option in New York, especially with that remaining contract that will likely go
through the 2017 season as his vesting option triggers, so why not limit him
and get some value out of him as a LOOGY?
You know the splits that he has against left-handed batters
and right-handed batters, it’s not pretty, so pull a move that the defending
World Series champion San Francisco Giants would pull and move him to the
bullpen despite his former status or contract. He’s open for it and it is
what’s best for the team.
To be involved in our next twitter poll head over and give
@GreedyStripes a follow. Thank you.
