Whitey Ford 17/16
For Lew, he has the worst era of the 4 primary starters, the 5th starter is better then him for the season. As long as it didnt pass him over for Red Murff.

Burdette started 30+ games the previous three seasons. He was coming off a 19-win season in 1956. How is he not a starter at the beginning of 1957? I don't get it.
Here's the NYY rotation: Turley - Ford - Grim - Shantz
Kucks is sitting on the Reserve Roster
Sturdivant is listed as the Closer!
