It's a number five eye of the Yankees.
I know some of the other power rankings probably had them higher.
Their rotation has like an insane amount of upside.
I think to start the season, they've had a couple like Garrett Cole still on the mend.
He'll start in AAA.
Rodan is also hurt.
So starting the season, it's a little bit of a weird rotation.
I think it's Freed, Schlittler, Will Warren, Ryan Weathers, and I'm blanking on the other guy.
Maybe they're only starting with four.
So like the upside is insane because obviously Max Freed in the Cy Young conversation every year.
I think if you get the best out of Ryan Weathers and not what he was in spring training, he could be solid because it seems like he was kind of an analytics darling there, but that was really your big rotation signing.
The bullpen, you got Bednar, which I think is probably an upgrade over Williams just based on what he gave you last year.
Obviously, I have to become a Williams guy again now that he's the Mets closer, but...
I think Bednar was obviously a lot more solid than Williams was last year.
So I think you finally got a lockdown closer and then they just ran it back with the lineup and it was solid last year, but I think they're really in the same boat as the Phillies where it's like all this stuff is great.
And the regular season for them just seems so easy.
Similar like them, the Phillies Dodgers regular season just is never really a struggle for them.
And they never really have to worry about falling out of the playoff hunt.
but it's just one of these weird situations where it's like, Hey, we're going to keep the same roster, even though it didn't pan out for us last year.
And obviously you have teams, you know, like the ones that obviously went to the world series that make it trickier.
