There are currently four starting pitchers at Triple-A who have ERA’s over five: Daniel Camarena (6.35), David Hale (5.52), Brody Koerner (5.49), and the already unmasked Adams (5.11). Chance is going to get a longer leash, and even Camarena might get one or two more starts, at the most.
But none of the non-Adams pitchers are highly ranked or highly thought of. And as the New York Yankees need some additional quality depth at Triple-A, things will have to change sooner rather than later.
All three Double-A’ers, then, seem destined to move up more or less at the same time, and soon.
