Farnsworth is no longer the 8th inning man!!!! Hail King Koopa!!!!! Actually I could see Girardi using Marte as a lefty specialist instead of a set up man ala Torre. |

Aren't you kind of worried Retardi is going to overthink having the lefty option? When have we gotten burned by needing a lefty this year? I'm skeptical Marte can maintain his success with us. Wasn't his ERA on the road this year real high? Someone was saying that. |

If he uses Marte as a lefty specialist he should be fired. He should pitch the 8th with Farnsworth (you know Retardi won't demote him). |

He gave up 7 runs in 1.1 innings in two road outings in April. Since then he's been fine. |

I just looked up the splits and it seems real flukey. All his peripherals are fine besides the ERA. But we have to be skeptical |

I'm worried that he will use him religiously only against lefties like Torre used to with relievers. If he uses him as a set up man I'm happy to have him. Like you said, not having a lefty hasn't burned us yet. As for the home road splits, he plays in a hitters park, so if anything I'm sure thats a random fluke stat. |

He could mix and match like Torre used to do with Nelson and Stanton. The whole 7th inning, 8th inning stuff is such nonsense. |

PNC is a hitter's park? When I was there, the dimensions seemed so deep for the most part. |

I though it favored righty hiters. I could be thinking of Milwaukee, but I thought it was both. |

Left field seemed insanely deep. Those RF dimensions are certainly good for a lefty. Funny that their best hitters are righties |

I've been saying for years that's the type of deep pen I want with several setup options, not a set 8th inning guy. Things have become so specialized, it's not going to happen, but that's what I prefer. You can go to Edwar, Veras, Robertson, Marte, and I guess Farnsworth at any point late in the game before Mo. |

This may sound kind of stupid but the Yankees don't really need the bullpen help right now and Marte is a hot commodity. Is it possible Cash deals him for a quality 3rd-4th starter? |

He better not trade him. We control him next year, we let Farnsworth walk, take the draft pick, and still have Marte/Veras for the 8th next year. Same thing with Nady. Let Abreu walk, take the picks, and have Nady take over RF. Cashman did a helluva job with this deal. :peace: |

Girardi won't use him as a LOOGY he'll be an 7th/8th inning guy. |
