Yankees playoff roster breakdown: Bench

Who should the Yankees have on the bench during the postseason?

The Yankees are on the cusp of returning to the postseason for the first time since 2012, and while it's not a sure thing yet, it looks like the Yankees will be playing in the Wild Card game. Each team gets to set their roster before each series in the postseason, which means that the Yankees get to set one specifically for the Wild Card game. The Yankees don't need to carry all of their starting pitchers in a one-game playoff, so the team can fill those spots by adding extra arms to the bullpen or extra players to the bench.
