New York Yankees: Bullpen Resurgence Integral for World Series Repeat

With the way that the game has changed over the past few decades, relief pitching has become a substantially more integral part of baseball.

In the age of inning limits, pitch counts and match-ups, starters aren't pitching as deep into games as was once the norm. A bad bullpens can turn a decent team into a mediocre ones and a great bullpen can solidify a good team as a serious playoff contender.

Can the New York Yankees Please Summon Mark Melancon from Triple-A?

One of the biggest factors in bringing up young players from the minor leagues is when they have done all they can do down on the farm.

A young player who dominates his minor league-level over a couple-month period should be promoted to the next level. A player who dominates Triple A over a long period should also be promoted.

No matter who is in the major leagues in front of him.

No reason to keep a young pitcher in Triple-A "for more seasoning" when he has filled up every spice rack in the country.
