deGrom is one of the best arms in MLB. Stroman is a few steps behind, however he does add a level of stability to the front of New York’s rotation behind deGrom. Lindor will certainly be an advantage considering Stroman’s 58.7% groundball rate is the third highest among all qualified starters. Carrasco, if fully healed and healthy, is a good arm. But at 32 with health concerns I wouldn't put him on the same shelf as the other two.
Cole could compete head to head with any of Mets starters, Yanks problem is what follows Cole in rotation. Nothing earth shatterin here Jorge, we have been discussing the need for a solid #2 to slot behind Cole for over a year.
I guess we wait and see what Yanks get from Sevy, Monty and Garcia. Do Yankees add a top shelf arm?
