2. Hiroki Kuroda, Starting Pitcher

Kuroda started off the season red hot for the Yankees and looked like the Bombers ace for much of the fist half of the season. However, Kuroda fell into a slump during the second half, which caused him to finish the season under .500. Kuroda is a very slid veteran pitcher and his ERA was about the same as it was in 2012, meaning that he will most likely get another lucrative, short term deal.
