The thing that makes Yesavage look like a guy who might have something special wasn't him mowing down the Yankees. That was an ambush on a swing happy team with no time to prepare for him effectively. It was impressive, but his pitching style made him a land mine for a team like the Yankees.
What makes Yesavage so special to me is that when teams have him on the ropes
he gets out of it. He can change his approach to get out of trouble when he gets into it.
