TAMPA — Cam Schlittler started for the Yankees against Toronto on Wednesday night at Steinbrenner Field, already with an eye on getting back to The Bronx — and staying there for a long time.
After the right-hander’s memorable debut with the Yankees last season, which culminated in a pair of postseason starts — one solid and one spectacular — Schlittler said he never wants to pitch anywhere else.

I wanted to be drafted by the Yankees and I never want to leave. I know some of it’s not in my control, but if I could, I’d choose to be here the whole time.”
Other pitchers have made fast impressions with the Yankees. While some have had a decent run of success — like Phil Hughes — others have flamed out quickly, like Hughes’ teammate, Joba Chamberlain.
