Relief pitchers really are impossible to project... Hopefully he team can stay healthy, and pitchers can pitch deeper into games...

The start of last year was marred by the injury bug to the starting rotation. A string of minor leaguers that were either not ready or not talented enough gave us a string of gameshe where they didn't make it through the 5th inning. Combine this with Mike Meyers being a one batter pitcher and Kyle not being able to pitch back to back and the BP that looked good during spring training was suddenly fryed. Our vaunted hitting crew start to press and couldn't score resulting in a...

3-4 pitches & NO MORE STRAIGHT FASTBALLS!

If Wilson Betemit was the 8th inning man for the Yanks in 2008 he would lead the league in holds. That's a guarantee.

yea, I'm pretty sure Farns with be the 8th inning guy for better or for worse.

The pen was dominant in spring training & they all (Farns, Viz, Henn, Bruney) started the season well in April, but with the workload due to everyone in the rotation other than igawa (who couldnt get through 5) going down, they were all toast for the next 2 months.

I also think Krazy Kyle will suprise us. It's his walk year and Giradi will use him better. With that said, he's still not going to be able to pitch on back to back games. Someone will emerge from the Veras/Ohlendorf mix. Let's hope that the starters don't average 4.2 innings per game again and fry the bullpen.

I agree with you about Farnsworth working with Giradi, it should be a...

Joba until early May...... Then either Veras or Ohlendorf

Sleeper pick... Steven White (2-seam, + 4-seam, + curve, slider, change)

I actually think Krazy Kyle will have a solid year like 2006. There is no reason why his k/9 dropped off the map like that in 07. His relationship with Torre was terrible which should drastically improve with his ex catcher Girardi. He was also dominant when he went to the full windup instead of pitching from the stretch in September.

Coming out of spring training I would prefer Farnsworth! But I hope as the season progresses we get to see Albaladejo slide into that role, I think he could be very reliable.

Who do you want as our 8th inning setup man coming out of Spring Training? Kyle Farnsworth? LaTroy Hawkins? Ross Ohlendorf? Edwar Ramirez? Jose Veras? Someone else? Would you trust the kids over Farnsworth?
