Anyone worried about the bullpen now?

After hearing about yesterday’s bullpen choke, Alfredo Aceves’s injury and Joba Chamberlain’s recent ineffectiveness is starting to set in with people.

The bullpen blew a five-run lead yesterday to one of the worst teams in baseball. Scoring 11 runs should always be enough for a win. Jon Heyman’s recent report that the Yankees will be looking to add a reliever midseason shows the team isn’t confident in its current bullpen. Yesterday’s events only amplified this notion.

If Chamberlain, who now has a 5.82 ERA, can’t be the eighth-inning guy, the Yankees need to consider making a drastic change. Meaning: Give up a proven player or a top prospect for a big-time pitcher.

I’m serious. If it means giving up Francisco Cervelli, who might be at the highest value of his career, so be it. A bad bullpen translates to failure in the postseason. If the Yankees want to make a run at repeating as champs, Brian Cashman is going to have to make up for his offseason moves at the deadline this year.
