Look, Ohley looked good to close last season, but he hasn’t faced 1st string hitters yet this spring, so let’s not just hand him the job. Frankly Patterson has faced tougher guys so far with good success, but few are running him up the flagpole. Not that he should be a front runner – he hasn’t faced a AAA in games that count yet. But compare these 2 guys numbers, even Ohley’s relief numbers only. Patterson, admittedly at a lower level, was far more dominant. Let’s let this thing play out a bit.

I’m sure the Yanks management hasn’t made a decision yet – why should we. Staffing and roster decisions are best made when the need is there and with patience. The results out of spring aren’t necessarily what we’ll be pulling for in September, so let’s pull for everybody. Nobody’s a bum until they play their way out of a job.
