With the signing of Gerrit Cole, the Yankees have arguably the best top four starters in the league. Who will hold the fifth spot in the rotation, however, remains to be seen. If the season were to start right now, it would probably be J.A. Happ. But he is likely to be traded, and it would be surprising if he were on the 26-man roster come March 26. One name that may be floated out there is Jonathan Loaisiga. But is he suited to be a starter or should the Yankees harness his electric stuff as a reliever?
Loaisiga is a four-pitch pitcher: four-seam fastball, curveball, changeup, and sinker.
