Good news. If the Yankees trade for anything at mid-season, it should be for starting pitching.
Unless things change, there is absolutely no reason to give up anything of meaningful value for a middle reliever when:
1. Your bullpen is anchored by the greatest closer of all time.
2. You have a reliever who has a 2.5 year track record of missing bats pitching at an incredibly high level.
3. You have a healing reliever with a career long track record of dominance coming back around the ASG.
4. A quality LOOGY coming back for the stretch run.
5. A surplus of solid enough starters to cover the long man role.
Trade for a difference making 2 or 3 starter, fine. But, as things stand, the need for another middle reliever is not sufficient to warrant depleting the farm.

  Almost totally agree minus #4.

  We need a dependable LOOGY (who doesn’t right?). Will Logan hold up to that role as he did at the end of last year? Only time will tell…

    I believe he meant Feliciano as the quality Loogy, seeing as it looks like he could possibly be back for the streach run, a la Damaso Marte in 2009.

      doubtful that he will be back…

  career-long track of “dominance?”

  uh, incorrect.

  career-long track of frequent injuries perhaps.

  but he folded in the rain-soaked April lights of NYC.

  This ain’t Tampa. And he hasn’t said “the right thing” yet in an interview.

  I will continue to stay in the “unconvinced” column, thank you.

Will Feliciano be back by August?

  Should be right around August right? If he’s soft tossing now from a mound, shouldn’t he be back in another month.
