They sit atop the AL East standings, and it appears Brian Cashman has assembled a more complete team than last year’s squad. However, before we get into May, we should remind ourselves of the general manager’s standing in our previous approval poll.

The biggest hurdle has been staying on the field long enough to build his case. That is why Judge embarked on a mission this past offseason to refine his off-field routine to ensure that he can stay healthy over the course of a full season.

Through the first two weeks of play, they sported the worst ERA of any big league rotation at an ugly 5.40 with over-the-hill veterans Marcus Stroman and Carlos Carrasco showing their age. Since then, the former has been out with a knee injury while the latter was designated for assignment.
