WHAT ARE WE PAYING YOU FOR CARLOS RODON?

We've been here before Yankee fans. Carl Pavano was an absolute loser. Jacoby Ellsbury's contract was a disgrace, and the guy was always hurt.  Frankie Montas just needs to be dropped off in middle of the country with $20 bucks and a "Good luck" post-it stuck to his forehead. There is nothing worse than getting a new guy, a guy that's supposed to be the difference maker for a team and they just lay an egg early and are useless.  And that is where we are when it comes to Carlos Rodon right now.

We wanted this guy. We trusted this guy would be the 3rd punch in our rotation after Gerrit Cole and Nestor Cortes... and he's been everything else instead.  It blows.

"Rodon experienced discomfort in his back in early April. New York shut him down for a few days before sending him to have a second CT scan; The results came back positive.

Speaking to the media prior to Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said, "Hopefully, he continues with the throwing program throughout the week and hopefully the back continues to subside, but I don't think it's anything major structurally from the test."

Having his throwing program pushed back means that Rodon is looking at a mid-June..."

$163 million to rehab a bad back. Seems like a steal for Rodon and not for the Yankees.  

Now I understand that no one can predict when an injury happens, but one thing I do know is that the MLB and their teams have some of the best physicians out there and something just doesn't sit right with me when it comes to the medical staff of the Yankees and these recent trades.  Guys like Montas and Rodon were delivered essentially hurt to the Bronx.  Why? What physical are we doing that they pass just to be injured later? Why does it keep happening? 

I'm suspicious about our medical staff. I have been for a while. We kind of need some answers, cause right now the perception is that guys like Rodon and even Montas are damaged goods and when it comes to Yankeeland, you don't want us fans against you before you take the mound officially. In fact, it's a death sentence.

Get well quick Carlos...we are losing our patience.
