Lefty in the bullpen: luxury or neccessity? 　　 　　If spring training started tomorrow (and thankfully, it does not), here 　　is who the Yankees would have as left-handed relievers: 　　Kei Igawa 　　Sean Henn 　　Chase Wright 　　Igawa was not ready for prime time last season after coming over from 　　Japan. He seems overmatched and nervous. Henn is a nice kid who tries 　　hard but has a 7.53 career ERA over parts of three seasons. Wright 　　allowed a home run to Mike Lowell in April that just now landed on the 　　Mass Pike. That was the end of him. 　　So what should they do? 　　They could overpay and sign Ron Mahay for two years. The Royals, as it 　　turns out, are not all that interested. They could go with all 　　right-handers or they could try and force Igawa into the role and hope 　　all that money on him wasn’t wasted. 　　Having a lefty for the sake of having a lefty is a waste of money. I’d 　　rather use a power righty against a good lefty hitter than a soft-tossing 　　lefty. 　　　　 　　Igawa should be traded to some NL team with a big park (San Diego for 　　instance) before whatever value he has disappears. Henn is at the end of 　　his rope. He was tried as a starter and now as a reliever. This camp 　　could be his last chance. 　　Wright, who will be 25 when camp starts, is too young to give up on. If 　　he can’t start, they need to see how he does in the bullpen. 　　New source：http://0rz.tw/4a3oN 　　翻譯：http://0rz.tw/d53qy --
