Going into this season, the Yankees are projected to have one of the best bullpens of all-time. Of all-time! That’s what happens when you put together three veteran All-Stars, someone who pitched like an All-Star last year (Tommy Kahnle), a unique multi-inning reliever (Chad Green) and a top-tier long-man with Adam Warren.
There are question marks with any pitcher every year unless you’re a Mariano Rivera-esque automaton. Guys get hurt. Guys lose control or just have worse luck. Relievers especially are fungible and can fall apart at a moment’s notice.
But even with those question marks, you can guess pretty clearly what you’re getting from Chapman, Robertson, Green and Warren.
