Also it's easy for us to remember the couple of years where he was terrible, but he has regained velocity and can get to 92 or 93 again when he needs to now. And this is a guy who led all of baseball in exit velocity against in 2016 before his very solid 2017, he certainly could get hurt again at any time but a one year deal is a no-brainer IMO, even with a crowded rotation, and that's even before getting into that he seems to be a great clubhouse leader.
One thing I want to do, maybe later tonight, is research how the Dodgers handled their rotation this past season, as it seems like that might make sense for NY if they are lucky enough to end up with too many SPs. LA did things like put guys on the DL for a start or two even if they were healthy to keep them fresh all year, but like I said, I need to research it more thoroughly.
