The Yankees relief corps enters uncharted waters

Related Topics: New York Yankees, Chad Green

I like visualizing things in chart form, even simple things. That includes how dominant the Yankees bullpen has been over the last decade. Having one of the top-five bullpens in baseball by WAR for seven consecutive full seasons is both well- and poorly- (mostly poorly) represented by the sight of a bunch of small numbers stacked on top of each other. It does give some sense of longevity, though. You have to reach back to days when Vernon Wells and Alfonso Soriano patrolled the outfield to find the last time the Yankees even sniffed fielding a truly below-average overall relief corps for a full-length season.
