6 Man Rotation = Problems

Currently, the New York Yankees are operating under a six man pitching rotation. The typical rotation for MLB teams is a five man rotation, making the six man rotation a rare occurrence. Immediately, I see one pitcher who clearly should not be included in this rotation, and he is the only pitcher with a losing record in the rotation.
C.C. Sabathia
All of the other pitchers in the lineup are sporting .500 win percentages or higher. C.C on the other hand, has a .375 win percentage, with a record of 3-8. Sabathia also has a 5.59 ERA, the highest in the rotation. Clearly, something has to be done, and there are a few options Brian Cashman, Yankees General Manager, has.

1. Move C.C to the Bullpen
While keeping him around won't do the Yankees any good, moving Sabathia to the bullpen as a set-up man or short inning reliever would stop the bleeding. For the most part, Sabathia is solid in the first three innings of his starts, with an ERA of 4.94. While that isn't the best it could be, it is still significantly better than his ERA after the third inning, which is 6.04. Those numbers suggest that the Yankees "ace" would be much better suited as a reliever who goes all out for two innings, rather than a starter struggling to get past the fifth inning. C.C. to the bullpen could solve a bunch of problems, and therefore eliminating what seems like the "automatic loss" he brings to the mound every time he is out on the mound.

2. Don't Resign Him in 2016
The No-Trade clause embedded in Sabathia's contract obviously makes it impossible for the Yankees to trade him, unless Sabathia waives the protection. In that case, trade his butt out of NY ASAP.
But, for the time being, Sabathia becomes an un-restricted free agent in 2016, but there is an option for 2017. When he becomes the free agent, the Yankees should not resign him, and not let him take the 2017 option. While this route would not solve this years problems, or even next years problems, it could potentially solve the problems the Yankees will face two years down the road.

Personally, I don't care what route Cashman takes to get rid of Sabathia, or fix the Sabathia problem. As long as he stops losing games for the Yankees, it's all right with me.
