Manager Aaron Boone made it official yesterday: the New York Yankees will start righty Luis Gil in Game 1 of the American League Division Series versus Toronto.
This after Gil was left off the Wild Card roster and missed the first four months of the season with shoulder trouble. His issues with walks, as we recently discussed, have not dissipated and it might be time to move him to the bullpen for good. Such is the risk with a high-velocity pitcher who racks up strikeouts. Without reliable secondary pitches, control will be an issue.
