IanKennedy, Wade Miley and Trevor Cahill form the heart of a strong rotation, and Randall Delgado, Tyler Skaggs and Patrick Corbin provide good young pitching depth.
Other rookies on the squad included now-MLB-vets Phil Hughes, IanKennedy and Tyler Clippard (wouldn't the Yankees like to have those last two back?) as well as forgettables Kei Igawa, Matt DeSalvo, Chase Wright and Sean Henn.
