Ivan Nova, Freddy Garcia make rotation

Joe Girardi made a few roster announcements this morning (via LoHud):

• Ivan Nova will be the fourth starter.
• Freddy Garcia will be the fifth starter.
• Bartolo Colon will be the long man.
• Pedro Feliciano will “likely” open the season on the DL.

The Yankees must have a really good feeling about Garcia’s background because Colon has done everything in his power to win the fifth spot in the rotation. At least he made the team.

My bench projection comes up next along with a complete roster projection.
