Maybe so, but they think the future is bright in the Bronx! New York Yankees The Yankees are going to win the World Series. Oh, not this World Series. But this is a team, says one AL executive, "that's coming on faster than people think." But they're not coming on that fast. The impressive young pitchers in their system aren't ready to ride to the rescue of a rotation that is about as unstable as any Yankees staff in maybe 25 years. Masahiro Tanaka might win a Cy Young. But then what? CC Sabathia was their fifth starter last year. He might be their No. 2 starter this year. Then comes a series of arms who can tantalize you (Michael Pineda, Luis Severino) but never quite get around to dominating you. "You've got to like what's happening there," said one scout who was on them this spring. "But there's just not enough starting-pitching depth. And that's their undoing."
I told you they were selling the Yankees way short. Probably one pitcher too short in the end but that lineup can hit with anyone.
