Eovaldi shut down for at least 2 weeks

And now Warren is leaving the pen for the rotation because of a lack of depth. And also, Tex is looking like he will miss the rest of the season, and is even uncertain for the playoffs..

 

Looks like the beginning of the end for them, but every time it looks like that they keep winning.

Won't be the end of them. Whatever happens the rest of the season, I just want to play KC in the playoffs somehow.

So basically, based on my last message, all the Yanks have in their bullpen that Girardi trusts are Shreve (rarely), Wilson, Betances and Miller. The umpteen million bullpen arms the Yanks have right now basically are used in mop up duty. Basically, 4 relievers and a bunch of mop-up men, including Capuano.

Yankees only have the best BP in the majors. Derp.

 

You're wrong by a lot. Kansas City has that honor. Yanks pen is 10th, behind Toronto, plus the Yankees bullpen is 3rd most overused, behind KC and TB.

No they have a dominant pen and good starting pitching.

WAR - 1st

 

Projected WAR - 1st

 

And BTW, Yanks pen is 4th in WAR in the AL, as Wilson/Betances/Miller and sometimes Shreve offset the weakness in the rest of it, especially long and middle relief, which has seen a ton of pitchers used.

6th in SP WAR. It's actually similar to Toronto's. And with Eovaldi out, it stands to take a major hit. And that pen isn't completely dominant.. it's thin outside of Wilson/Betances/Miller.

Fair points, they just keep winning though, seems to defy logic.

This is not rocket science dude.

 

1st in majors:

Only because the Yanks SP staff struggles to go deep in games, and Girardi frequently goes to Wilson/Betances/Miller. They actually moved Warren to the bullpen for a while because of the lack of depth, which they now have to reverse due to the Eovaldi injury, limits on Severino, and Sabathia's unreliability.
