Without getting into the gory details as to why Hughes, Chamberlain and Kennedy never developed into front line starting pitchers for the Yankees, we flash forward to the spring of 2019 when Luis Severino, who the Yankees hope will be that elusive homegrown ace, was felled by inflammation in his rotator cuff and will be sidelined until May. Once again we are at that same juncture as 2007 with Cashman hoping he can fill those two holes in his rotation (CC Sabathia recovering from knee surgery and a heart procedure being the other) from within. Although Luis Cessa, Jonathan Loaisiga and Domingo German all had their development through the Yankee system it is important to point out they were all originally signed by other organizations.
