PROGRESS MADE IN COLE REHAB?

The Yankee starting pitching has done the job, more so than we thought would happen and for me personally... the Yankees biggest critic, I have to say I'm happy with that. I'm also looking for the other shoe to drop, but for now, I'm gonna soak it all in.

We do have an update on Gerrit Cole however, and it comes from the New York Post:

"Gerrit Cole stretched out to making 50 throws from 120 feet Tuesday..."

“You’re out to 120, so it’s moving,” Cole said. “Moving along...Out since early March with nerve inflammation and edema in his right elbow, Cole has maintained he is focused on taking his rehab on a day-to-day basis and not getting too far ahead of himself...

“It’s kind of a similar ramp-up to what an offseason would be like,” said Cole, who is on the injured list for an arm injury for the first time in his career. “That’s kind of what we’re working off of. Just trying to nail it. Not go too fast, not go too slow either. But that’s kind of the structure we’re working off of.”

Now as far as a timetable, let's just say that Cole is coming along nicely and hopefully we see him soon.  Also, I omitted anything Aaron Boone said about the Cole status and rehab because he's just a puppet and really don't know anything.  That's just the truth.

I am looking forward to seeing Cole back with the Yankees rotation. If the Yankee starters can keep going as well as they have, when Cole gets back it will just be icing on the cake.  You gotta love that.
