New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman had a lot to say about J.A. Happ recently. First, he announced that the mercurial pitcher will be the team’s fifth starter entering the season.
Now, Cashman has given a statement that he believes Happ will be better then he was in 2019. He’ll need to be if the lefty hurler wants to find keep his spot in the starting rotation.
Happ was dreadful in 2019. He was worth just 1.3 fWAR, which is bad enough for 63rd in the league out of 66 pitchers who threw at least 160 innings.
