Just wanted to know if that was the final plan on him. I do agree with Ohlendorf in the pen because his velocity will stay in the mid-upper 90s as a result.

He fell to the Yanks because of elbow issues which later turned into TJ surgery causing him to miss the 2007 campaign. He has been making great strides since the operation on 10/31/2006. Here's a brief article on his progress from scout.com... Date: Aug 20, 2007 It has been nearly ten months since Mark Melancon had Tommy John surgery last Halloween. Working his way back and finally throwing bullpen sessions at the Yankees minor league complex, he's inching his way closer to game action and he says he feels like he has a brand new arm.

It has been nearly ten months since Mark Melancon had Tommy John surgery last Halloween. Working his way back and finally throwing bullpen sessions at the Yankees minor league complex, he’s inching his way closer to game action and he says he feels like he has a brand new arm.

Nevertheless, Ohlendorf can be a very reliever though. I mean his GB-FB is great and he has a good fastball with movement and throws strikes as well. I mean he can find consistent breaking pitch, you mean to tell me can;t be a big time set up man for the yankees like Rafael Betancourt type for us or scott shields.

A-Jax just keeps impressing. I keep thinking he will level out, but he seems to be primed for a breakout at Trenton next year. I am excited to see it.
