TAMPA — When present rotation odd man out Marcus Stroman defiantly states he’s a starter 11 instances in 10 minutes after arriving for exercises later than all of his pitching Yankees teammates, properly, that ought to simply be catnip in your pleasant columnist right here at this daring tabloid.
Simply hit F1 in your New York Submit-issued laptop computer and the darn factor will write itself. Throw in a single OFF THE MARC’ again web page to intensify it and we received the sort of controversy brewing that each one however yells transfer over Billy Martin and inform Reggie Jackson the information.
And possibly that’s the place we’re heading. Maybe as we get nearer to three:05 p.m. on March 27, with the Brewers in The Bronx for actual video games, Stroman will transform the misbehaving sixth starter in a five-starter rotation and clubhouse. I wouldn’t guess towards that sad camper angle finally manifesting.
For now, although, I assume I’ll fail my audition for a type of exhibits the place my first take is meant to be a scream over substance. As a result of I believe there’s a higher likelihood that Stroman both winds up a invaluable 2025 Yankee or in a distinct staff’s rotation than as a big distraction to his present membership.
