With Justin Wilson and Adam Warren no longer in town, two of the leading candidates coming into Spring Training were 22-year old southpaw Jacob Lindgren and 24-year old left-hander James Pazos.
Both pitchers made their spring training debut on Wednesday afternoon against the Philadelphia Phillies, and unfortunately they both struggled.
After two solid innings from Ivan Nova and Diego Moreno, the ‘Strikeout Factory’ Jacob Lindgren entered today’s ballgame in the top of the fifth with the Yankees leading 3-2 and he never even came close to finding the strike zone.
