But, again, still a luxury.

The Yankees didn't have a giant hole in this rotation like the Mets did.

You can argue the Mets don't even really have a number two starter.

They needed Freddy Peralta way more than the Yankees needed Freddy Peralta.

That's just a fact.

I know Yankee fans don't want to hear that because the Mets got a guy that they wanted, but they needed him way more than the Yankees did.

When David Peterson is looked at as your biggest, quote, sure thing, because Nolan McLean is kind of in that same boat as Cam Schlittler, you know, future ace guy you have a lot of hope for, but where are the innings?

Can he pitch a full major league season?

So you have that.

And, you know, what are they going to get out of Kodai Seng?

And they're waiting on the return of a guy like Sean Minaya.

So they have holes at the top of the rotation where the Yankees really don't have that as much.

And we just, you have possibly nine guys that are, and nine guys you feel pretty confident at at least a certain level that are going to make starts this year.

So we'll see what happens.

Chris Bassett is out there, man.

And I know people are going to laugh at Chris Bassett.

He takes the ball.

for the most part.

And he's a pretty reliable guy.

You could do worse at the back end of your rotation to be a guy that can eat some innings and keep you in ballgames.
