SNY's Boorstein: Traber To The Rescue?

Tom Boorstein of SNY.tv takes a look at the Yankees lefty-pen-man revolving door since 2002 and this season’s early hope to solve that problem.

Hey, in 1999, Mike Remlinger came out of the blue, for the Braves, and became an effective lefty out of the pen, for Atlanta, for the next four seasons. Maybe Traber can do that now with the Yankees? At the worst, can Traber be any worse than Sean Henn was last year? Now, that would be a trick.

Steve,

Is there anyway to look at the situational bullpen pitching from Joe's Marlins team. I don't think Joe had anywhere close to the talent the Yankees are giving him. We're giving Joe a) the best closer of all time, b) a set-up man who was UNBELIEVABLE last year. I think Joe will know how to manage a bullpen more than Torre could and I think that pitching management won't be as bad as we're used too.

Travis G. sort of looked into this a while ago, FWIW:
