The tandem of Marte and Bruney in the 8th inning scares me a little, since Marte struggled with the Yanks and Bruney has his days where he can't find the plate. Still, I think the bullpen has a lot of young talent that will carry the team in the late innings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276907225428640229.post-65827515773103437402009-01-16T18:46:00.000-05:002009-01-16T18:46:00.000-05:00Bullpens and relief pitchers are a tricky lot, but...Bullpens and relief pitchers are a tricky lot, but Joe Girardi proved to be adept at mixing things up, keeping people fresh and ready, not overworked, but not underworked. In short, he managed his bullpen really well. There's no reason to think that will change going forward and is a reason to be optimistic about 2009's Yankee bullpen.<BR/><BR/>Now, we just have to pray for health and good fortune!Doreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258206663527354356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276907225428640229.post-56373214655790323282009-01-16T11:32:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:32:00.000-05:00The Yanks have a very good bullpen.

This should be a strength once again.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859637786290886224noreply@blogger.com
