Burdi Takes the Torch – The future of the Yankees’ bullpen seems bright with the emergence of the right handed pitcher Nick Burdi. There have been predictions that Burdi will close games at some point. His dominant late-inning skills could be the missing piece for a championship-worthy pitching staff.
With a high quality offense, a developing young core, and a likely dominant bullpen, the Yankees have all the raw material for a deep playoff run. But, the road to glory won’t be a cakewalk. The American League East is a tough one, a gauntlet rather, with the Baltimore Orioles, the Minnesota Twins, and the Houston Astros predicted to be division toppers; While the Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, and Texas Rangers battle for Wild Card spots.
