***The OFFICAL Yankees Offseason Speculation Thread***

[Rubeskies]

The Yankees resigned Sturtze but other options out there are:


Octavio Dotel is pretty solid. I'm not sure he'd be willing to go back to a setup role but Dotel, Farnsworth, Rivera sounds like something I could put my trust in.

Joey Eischen has a breakout season with the Nats last year. Lefty that had a 3.22 ERA and a 7.4 K/9 ration. Not bad. Better than Mike Myers.

Cal Eldrid is an aging vet who had a sub 3 ERA last year in 40 innings for the Cards. Hard to trust his stuff though.

Hasegawa and Chris Hammond are uninspired options.

Roberto Hernandez had a pretty good year last year. ERA Under 3 but he is getting old as well.

Braden Looper is meh.

Jim Mecir is an interesting option. ERA right around 3 with a nasty Screwball. If anything he'll be fun to watch.

Jeff Nelson is still available I think.

Ricardo Rincon is steady if uninitmidating.

Al Reyes could be a good pickup. His ERA was 2.15 for the cards and oponents from both sides of the plate were hitting below .200 against him.

Julian Tavarez is decent but a headcase.

Urbina is decent but injury prone, might be unwilling to not close and might actually be MIA.
