The guy dominated at AAA as the closer last year and looked un-hittable at times in the bigs. He has one of the most devastating change-ups in baseball, which makes him a great change of pace setting up Farnsworth, Joba and Mo. No one has mentioned Edwar Ramirez in the bullpen?

The Yankees WANT him to be a starter. Why do you think he started in the minors AND started in ST? If they WANTED him in the BP, he would be there in ST and announced as a reliever. He is there because the IPs limits cause Joba + Phil = 1.6 SPs. They they are using the extra 0.6 of Joba in the BP, so that both Joba and Phil can get the IPs they need to continue on the SP path. The will both get 150+/- IPS this year and 180+/- IPs in 2009. Papelbum had arm problems. The Sox got Dice-K, although it was up in the air until the bids were in. Even so, it was a hard decision to put Papelbum in the BP. They are hoping Buchholz and Lester can be SPs. Phil, Joba and IPK are ALL Starters. However, like Mo, if the don't have the stuff or health to start, they will eventually go to the BP.... like Mo. ARun – You don’t get it. The Yankees WANT him to be a starter.
