There was a change this offseason on how teams, even contending teams, were constructing their starting rotations. Gone was the idea of bringing in hired guns to fill in the staff holes. A renewed emphasis on young pitching has begun with even the mighty Red Sox and Yankees leaning on young pitchers to fill out their staffs. How has this worked thus far this season in the American League??
