2010 Potential Call-Ups: Mark Melancon
Taken by the Yankees in the ninth round of the 2006 draft, Mark Melancon has posted impressive numbers in the minor leagues, even after undergoing Tommy John Surgery in 2006. While most pitchers struggle for up to two years after elbow surgery, the former Arizona Wildcat has gone on to record a 2.49 ERA and ...
The 2009 Bullpen in Historical and Statistical Perspective
Following up on my comparison between the terrific 2009 rotation with those of the late 1990s, this post assesses the sterling 2009 bullpen and gauges its performance along side the late 1990s dynasty. As with the rotation, the 2009 bullpen compares rather favorably with most years, including the tremendous 1998 team. As with last week’s ...
John Sickels Ranks the Yanks

What Will the Bullpen Look Like without Bruney?
Hard throwing right handed pitcher Brian Bruney was traded to the Washington Nationals today in exchange for Washington's first pick in the upcoming Rule V Draft. With the exit of Phil Hughes from the bullpen into the rotation, the Yankee bullpen appears to have some holes. This is something with which I disagree. Starting at the ...

Mark Melancon Having Problems Adjusting
Lost in the shuffle Yankee brawls last night was another bad performance by the highly touted pitching prospect Mark Melancon. Throughout his minor league career one thing that has been a major standout was his impeccable control. In 53 innings in the minors this season he walked just 11 batters and in 95 innings last year ...
