Assuming the Yanks carry a 12-man pitching staff, the team seems a bit overstocked with both starters and relievers, leaving one to wonder who stays and who goes. Some of the decisions will be easy because it is the Yankee way to brush aside unproven pitchers in favor or aging veterans, thus Scott Proctor once again will not get a full-time chance, while Tanyon Sturtze will likely be on the roster. Anywho, here is a list of the pitchers, plus some of the younger guys recently added to the 40 man roster. Who do you think you will be wedged out (assuming most of these players are healthy on opening day)?
