Yesterday’s Question: Since Derek Jeter’s rookie season in 1996, 28 other players have started at least one game in the leadoff slot for the Yankees. How many can you name off the top of your head?
Answers:Congrats go out to ‘Brads’ who had the most correct answers.
Today’s question: After today’s rough outing by Freddy Garcia and Wednesday’s 6 inning no-hit gem by Ivan Nova, it appears to be all but a given that the rookie Nova will break camp as part of the Yankee rotation. We all remember the right handed rookie rotation trio in 2008 of Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy, but who was the last left handed rookie to break camp as a member of the Yankee rotation?

And just in case anyone wants to bring it up, technically Phil Hughes wasn’t a rookie in 2008. He had over 70 IP in 2007, and if you have more than 50 IP you don’t qualify for ROY honors. But that was his first season as a member of the rotation on Opening day, so he was a rookie in that sense. Joba, of course, started 08 in the bullpen and was put in the rotation after a few months.
Andy petite?
Wouldn’t that be Mr. Kei Igawa?
Who?
Yes, it would.
