 The machine came back and then a couple hours later the Clubot followed him. The Yankees had a busy day after being relatively quiet during the entire off-season. A watch pot never seems to boil and just when you thought the Yankees stove would remain cold it got to temperature in a hurry. DJ Lameju is back and starter Corey Kluber is hitched to the 2021 Yankees rotation engine that is pulled of course by the coal train. We all know what bringing Lameju back does for Aaron Boone. Giving him a Swiss Army knife in the infield and a steady everyday major league hitter. Lameju was a throwback to a not too distant baseball pass hitting the ball where it's pitched taking what the guy 60 feet six inches away is giving him. Speaking of guys standing 60 feet six inches away in Kluber the Yankees get a veteran righty who has been at the apex of his craft more than once. Kluber won the AL Cy Young in 2014 and 2017 in over a five-year stretch from 2014 through 2018. He finished in the top three four times for the coveted prize amongst hurlers. During that same stretch he averaged 218 innings pitched 32 starts per season at a 285 ERA. While he was putting up those fantastic numbers for the Indians Matt Blake was their assistant director for pitching development. Now Blake of course is the Yankees pitching coach. Familiarity will do the opposite of breeding contempt in this case. In this case it could be the formula to provide Kluber with his redemption song and resurrection back to his dominating self potentially. Why does he need that? Well because over the past two seasons he has made just seven starts covering 35 and 2 third innings back in 2019 and just a single inning last season for the Rangers. He fractured his forearm on a comeback in 2019 while with Cleveland and had a torn shoulder muscle after that one inning in Texas last season. Enter Eric Cressy the Yankees director of player health and performance. He has been running Kluber's rehab so who would be better along with Blake to do a six million dollar man type rebuild on the Klubot? Well it's actually the 11 million dollar man according to his contract. Apologies to the bionic man Steve Austin. Google the kids. There are still question marks hovering over the Yankees rotation but a rejuvenated Kluber who turns 35 in April is definitely a step in the right direction.
