Does it feel like Chad Green is more vulnerable than he was last year? 2017 was the season of Green, as the righthander came out of virtually nowhere to be the Yankees’ best relief pitcher. His 1.80 ERA and 1.75 FIP, 2.4 fWAR and staggering 13.43 K/9 gave former manager Joe Girardi an unbelievable level of bullpen depth, and his ability to work multiple innings quickly led him to become a security blanket of sorts. If a starter had to leave a game early, Green could be counted on to come in, work through an order at least once, and keep the score what it was.
