If either or both falter - bullpen they go. Saying that, I would prefer both to start. For the eighth inning guy you have Melancon, Bruney (if healthy) Robertson, Aceves, Dunn, or one of Mitre, Gaudin, or even Nova. This year the bullpen looked one way at the start, and quite another at the end. I’m sure they’ll look at Joba, Hughes, as starters. If either or both falter – bullpen they go.

Coke is a left hander who throws in the mid-90's and true out pitch with his slider. I think you gotta hold on to him.

Phil Coke, in particular, strikes me as redundant with Marte, Dunn, and de la Rosa on the roster. If anything, the Yankees should be looking to trade away relievers.

We'll find two BridgeToMo guys out of that group of 8 as the season 2010 season moves on. No need to pay actual money for an RP unless the deal is right. Signing the Douche for 1/5 + Tm Option would bolster the group nicely, though, while creating some addition SP insurance. Marte, Robertson, Aceves, Melancon, Kennedy, McAllister, Bruney, Gaudin.
