Kay actually doesn't bother me that much... Perhaps my utter disdain for Sterling has blinded me to Kay's shortcomings.

I miss Kaat as a Yankee regular and it peeves me I can never hear him and Costas on MLB Network due to local blackout.

Flaherty is pretty decent, but I am not crazy about most players turned announcers as the Yankees seem to be favoring these days. Makes you wonder how many future Vin Scullys we'll never get to hear because slots are occupied by former players who otherwise wouldn't qualify for a college radio gig.
