Ah, nevermind.  It was his brother who had TJS.

He missed some time with minor shoulder issues.

I don't particularly love Sheffield either, but isn't that what makes it a fair deal? Both of the headliners have one significant flaw.

Yes...both have flaws but only one has actually pitched in the majors.   Which is why the Yankees get the better end of the deal.

Aside from that, you hope Justus turns into a guy like Paxton. We need that now more than we need it in 3 years.

Yep.  Read a scouts take that said if Paxton gives the Yankees 120 innings in each of the next 2 years that's still more IP than Justus is going to give in the same time span.

Honestly... give me innings in October
