Don’t look now but Kei Igawa (the same guy who regularly wore sunglasses while pitching) has an 12 inning scoreless streak going this spring. His performance is notable as he finally looks like he trusts his stuff and is allowing batters to put the ball and in play and getting themselves out. I know spring training performances usually don’t amount to much, but it will be interesting to see what they Yankees do with Igawa.
The five man starting rotation is set with Sabathia, Wang, Burnett, Chamberlain, and Pettitte. The bullpen should consist of Rivera, Bruney, Marte, Veras, Coke, Giese, and Edwar Ramirez. David Robertson is another promising bullpen arm the Yankees could go to. Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy are certainly higher up on the depth chart than Igawa is, should they be in need of an emergency starter. Igawa will, in all probability begin the year in Scranton. Either way, the Yankees will want Igawa to continue his excellent spring into the season as he will in my opinion, serve as trade bait later on in a potential deadline deal.
