According to Tyler Kepner of the Times, you can officially forget having a long man in the bullpen. Yankees reliever Jonathan Albaladejo, acquired prior to the the '08 season for Tyler Clippard, has been told he has the final spot in the Yankees bullpen.
Brett Tomko, Dan Giese, and Al Aceves were thought to be battling to be the final man, but Joe Girardi recently revealed that he might not go with a long man after all. Albaladejo also gives Girardi the ability to mix and match more in the late innings.
Aceves will be a starter for Scranton, which is probably a better role for him anyway, while Giese and Tomko will be assigned to the Scranton pen.
