Antonio Bastardo the Next Justin Wilson?

The New York Yankees and their GM Brian Cashman have stated it many times, the team wants to emulate the Kansas City Royals in almost every way. The most obvious way New York wants to emulate the defending World Series Champions is to have what they are referring to as a "super bullpen." New York is already well on their way with Andrew Miller closing games in the Bronx, Dellin Betances setting up for Miller for anywhere from one out to two innings at a time, and Justin Wilson striking out guys no matter if they are left-handed or right-handed at an alarming rate. Wilson is one of many left-handed relief pitchers the Yankees have at their disposal next season, could they add another in Antonio Bastardo?

Many fans trusted Wilson in 2015 and he was one of the few that could be trusted. Chasen Shreve fell off at the end of the season, although there is evidence that it was fatigue that caused it, Adam Warren was bounced back and forth between the rotation and bullpen leading to some rust and inconsistency and the team had a new reliever every other day up from Triple-A Scranton. New York may turn to the trade market to acquire another reliable arm much like they acquired Wilson last season from the Pittsburgh Pirates for backup catcher Francisco Cervelli or they could simply turn to the free agent market and get an exact clone of Wilson in Bastardo.

According to Baseball Reference and their projections systems I mean it when I say CLONE:

Bastardo:

Year	Age	W	L	ERA	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO	WHIP	H9	HR9	BB9	SO9	SO/W

That's an awful lot of left-handed relievers in one bullpen. Miller, Shreve, Wilson Bastardo and possibly Jacob Lindgren but if these pitchers can get batters on both sides of the plate out what does it matter? The Yankees also love having a LOOGY and Bastardo held left-handed batters to a .138 batting average against in 2015, how huge would that be late into games or inside Yankee Stadium? So huge it can't be put into words. Bastardo is 30-years old and will be likely to command a smaller contract in terms of years, maybe even one year, and dollars, the new Yankees way. Sign him?
