Good morning everyone, let’s open the mailbag up for more of your Yankees questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to
pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
Ben Fadden asks:
What are your expectations for Corey Kluber this year? He’s looked good early on but isn’t getting any younger, so maybe just an above average starter?
Kluber is one of several gambles that the Yankees have made this year, and one of the higher rewarding ones as well. As John noted in our season preview on him yesterday, the median projection for Kluber has him sitting at around a four ERA in 155 innings of work, altogether profiling as a solid second or third starter. If that’s the results the Yankees get it would certainly be hard to complain, but projections are naturally a middle-ground for a player’s body of work.
