The Yankees' bullpen looked good today in relief of Andy Pettitte, who after two rounds third acute fear due to a groin strain in grade 1, which will keep him on a 4-5 week planned.
That puts the Yankees in a very precarious position for several reasons.
The bullpen has planted over 13 innings in the last two games because of injuries to AJ Burnett and his club yesterday Rampage groin injury Pettitte today.
It goes without saying, but 13 innings over two games is a challenge for the bullpen, not to mention the Yankees' bullpen, which has been very irregular this year.
And of course, with Pettitte being off for months to come, Americans need another start.
It is their plan now to use Sergio Mitre Pettitte replacement in the rotation until he recovers from his injury.
Mitre, who returned from injury himself, is not exactly the right person for the job, in my opinion.
He is a starter by trade and has the ability to launch five or six solid innings, but he might be too valuable as a long relief pitcher out of the pen than as a starter.
He appeared in 10 games this year (mostly as a relief pitcher long), but made two starts where he allowed four runs on nine hits in nine innings.
Then in relief this year, Mitre gave up only three runs and five hits in 16 innings. So I think it should be in the bullpen, in this case, Chad Gaudin is expected to be released.
So who should start up Pettitte, if Mitre is not?
Ivan Nova Scotia, which is an excellent young pitcher in the farm system, has the ability to pitch to boost the Yankees' rotation.
As a starter at AAA Scranton / Wilkes Barre this year, Nova has launched 103 rounds in 17 starts, going 7-2 with a very respectable 3.21 ERA, holding opposing batters and only eight home runs.
It also said earlier this year, he threw a 100 mph fastball, but minor league radar guns are not exactly the best in the world.
It was not in the majors earlier this year launched three rounds aimlessly two games in his short stint in New York.
New is also logical because it would be able to adjust to the majors this year and would be much more comfortable position in spring training next year, possibly competing for fifth place in the rotation if both Andy Pettitte and Javier Vazquez departure after this season.
The Yankees will need a lot one day off tomorrow to rest and do some organizing drives, and we'll see what happens.
