Ken Rosenthal brings up a guy that many have us have not mentioned since the season ended. The Yankees need a guy like Jeremy Affledt. He's a 32 year old solid lefty reliever that is seasoned and would be a perfect addition to the pen. Having him there as an extra lefty with Boone Logan and the gang could help be a lethal combination. Read Rosenthal HERE.Affeldt has been with the Giants for a few years now and had his $5 million option excecised by the San Francisco Giants back in October. He’d be a perfect trade option for the Yankees and plenty of other teams, including the Red Sox and the Blue Jays, both division rivals.
Here is Affedlt’s line in 2011: 2-3 2.63 ERA / 61.2 IP / 3 SVs / 54 K / 5 HR
To me, this is a no brainer, Affledt is solid and at this point in his career, he knows his role. I really think Affeldt should be considered. Do you?
