Mark Melancon (71.1 IP 1.64 ERA 65 SO 47 Saves)
The former Yankee
prospect has made quite the name for himself since being traded in 2010. Over
the past 4 season Melancon has been one of the steadier relievers in baseball,
compiling 147 saves to go along with a sub-2.00 ERA. With the bullpen in need
of a remodel (especially after the trades of Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman)
It certainly wouldn't hurt for the organization to look at a familiar face.
Kenly Jansen (68.2 IP 1.83 ERA 104 SO 47 Saves)
Jensen would bring a
great dynamic to the bullpen as his style compliments that of Dellin Betances.
While some question his consistency, there is little doubt that the man has an
"it" factor. if the Yankees are looking for a pitch that closely resembles
what they had for half of 2016, Jensen would be a more that safe bet.
Jerry Blevins (42 IP 2.79 ERA 52 SO 16 Holds)
The Yankees could use
another left hander in the bullpen especially since the team hasn't had a true
specialist pitcher since the days of Mike Myers. he's held lefties to a .214
batting average for his career and considering the problem the short porch can
present for pitchers, that number could be a driving factor in brining him
aboard.
Sergio Romo (30.2 IP 2.64 ERA 33 SO)
Injuries limited him
this past season which could present a potential problem. However, he still
managed to put up decent numbers despite the setback. The need for good arms
out of the bullpen is greater than ever, and Romo still has great stuff to
offer.
Aroldis Chapman (58 IP 1.55 ERA 90 SO 36 Saves)
After helping the Cubs
win their first World Series in 108 years, many believe that Chapman will be
one of the hottest commodities this offseason. Having dealt him away to shore
up the future, the Yankees find themselves in a great spot to put him back in
pinstripes. Loring him back won’t be easy as several team have already
expressed interest, but if the organization is as serious as everyone thinks,
they won't allow any team to outbid them form Chapman's services.
