Yankees Sign Robert Coello To Minor League Deal

The New York Yankees have announced the signing of Robert Coello to a minor league deal according to Matt Eddy of Baseball America. Coello is a right handed reliever and will provide depth for the Yankees AAA team and possibly the big league team. Coello is 29 years old and coming off a 2013 season in which he pitched 17 innings for the Los Angeles Angels posting a 3.71 ERA with a 12.2 K/9 and 4.2 B/9 ratio. Could crack the bullpen out of Spring Training, see Shawn Kelley last season, but I doubt he is anything more than depth at this point. Either way there is no such thing as a bad minor league deal.

  2. That pitch has an insane amount of movement.

    1. Imagine if he's ever able to control it? He could be deadly.
