BETANCES & NUNO TAKE A HUGE STEP FORWARD

The Yankees are finishing up their starting day rosters, and have added two new names to our bullpen. Both Dellin Betances and Vidal Nuno were added to the bullpen.

One of the original members of the Killer B's, along with Andrew Brackman and Manny Banuelos, Betances was moved to the bullpen in the 2013 season. He seemed to find his groove there, and has been dominant this spring training, with a 0.73 ERA in 10 appearances.

Nuno had been primarily a starter. He was in the chase for the fifth starting spot, but lost out to Michael Pineda. He's made 4 spring training appearances, allowed 3 runs on 5 hits. He has a 3.38 ERA, strikes out 8 and did not walk a batter.

I'm really excited about these two additions. I'm very hopeful for both of these young men. I'm a bit bias towards Betances, being he is a true homegrown Yankee, having grown up in New York City, and gone to High School in Brooklyn. I love the fact that he went from using a Metro Card to 161st and River, to going in through the Players Only Entrance. He is the only born and raised New Yorker on the Yankees roster. It doesn't get much more homegrown than that, folks!

I hope to see great things from both Nuno and Betances. Welcome to the big leagues, gentlemen! As Jorge Posada would say "Grind it!"
