Yankee Pitching; What are the Options?

          The Yankee rotation is in trouble, it is being held on the shoulders of Masahiro Tanaka who has put up outstanding numbers in the 2014 season going 8-1 with a 2.06 ERA in 11 games, not to mention also 88 strikeouts, which not to bad for his first season in the Majors, but can the Yankees just rely on Tanaka; the new Yankee starter Chase Whitley has shown promise with a 2.37 ERA in 4 games, the only problem is he averages less than 5 innings a game. This rotation just isn't working because I'm sorry to say but you just cannot win games with David Phelps and Vidal Nuno starting. They belong in the bullpen because they are not doing well in the starting rotation. So what are the options?

Options

Adam Warren: Warren has yet to make a start this season but he has been dominating in the bullpen. In 33 appearances he has a 2.57 ERA with 30 strikeouts. He was one of the contenders for the number 5 spot in the beginning of the season along with Vidal Nuno, Michael Pineda, and David Phelps. Well Nuno and Phelps didn't work and Pineda is on the 60-day DL, so why not give Warren a chance? If it is a matter of taking another great arm out of the bullpen switch him with Phelps who does better in that role.

David Price and Jeff Samarjiza: I'm mainly showing Price and Samarjiza because they is one thing, an option. I don't believe that this will happen do to the Yankees lack of trade chips. Their farm system is weak, their major league talent is either needed or have a no-trade clauses in their contracts, and with what the Rays and Cubs are looking for in return it just won't happen.
