2000He signed a three-year deal with the Yankees in January and should be a part of their rotation for the forseeable future. Be careful, though, as his numbers have slipped the past three years in a row. He will be the #4 starter. On April 13, he landed on the DL with a stiff back. He returned to the starting rotation on April 26.
