There is no better way than to start a Wednesday morning
then to salivate at what could easily be the best bullpen in all of Major
League Baseball history. John Heyman reported it and Jack Niemuth brought it to
the readers, the New York Yankees have at least entertained the idea of
acquiring the San Diego Padres closer Craig Kimbrel this season. Kimbrel is
signed through the 2017 season for major money and would likely command a top
prospect in return, something the Yankees are not willing to do reportedly. New
York has made Luis Severino, Aaron Judge, Greg Bird and Jorge Mateo untouchable
but if somehow the Yankees could make a deal for Kimbrel I think you have to
start etching the World Series title trophy now, don’t you?
LR: Chris Capuano
RP: Adam Warren
RP: Justin Wilson (5th inning)
RP: Chasen Shreve (6th inning)
RP: Craig Kimbrel (7th inning)
SU: Dellin Betances
CP: Andrew Miller
New York could even take that one step further inserting
Severino, Bryan Mitchell, Branden Pinder, Jacob Lindgren when he returns from
injury or any of the cast of characters that have seemingly out-performed
Capuano this season into the bullpen for maximum efficiency. That’s not
shortening a game that is making every single game unfair, and I like unfair
when it’s slanted towards the house. It may be a pipe dream but I can honestly
say I’ve had much worse dreams in my life.
