THIS is our pitching coach?


Eiland played for 10 seasons, won 12, lost 27 with an ERA of 5.74. He had two tommy john surgeries, which is not an excuse for those numbers.

My guess is that Eiland and maybe even Girardi will be fired before the end of the season. When they are fired, it will probably come in mid May or early June, when the team is in too deep a hole to contend in the AL East.
Edit: August 15; The firing did not happen, of course. The pitching settled down, and the Yankees now have the best record in baseball. But at the time, Girardi and Eiland had a lot of explaining to do, that's for sure.
