I know it's early to count Rivera out, but even though he's seen little work this year, I have to wonder what happens if the Yankees pitching/bullpen doesn't improve. If he starts having to come in the 8th for even 1 out to get to the 9th, will he be effective??
He always has problems with the Red Sox so I'm not real worried as far as that goes.
All I know is the Yankees bullpen is in trouble, and hopefully it will stay that way. They are on pace to have 600+ innings of work. That's way more than a club with that much money should have in relief.
