New York Yankees
The New York Yankees have recently made some moves to acquire relief pitcher Rafael Soriano from the free agency market. Soriano led the American League in 2010 with 45 saves and now will join the Yankees as an eighth inning set up man for future hall of famer, Mariano Rivera. With the addition of Soriano, the Yankees bullpen will now have a lot more depth at the reliever position and will hopefully end their struggles during the late innings. Another key acquisition recently has been the signing of outfielder Andruw Jones. Jones, who was an all-star five years ago while playing for the Atlanta Braves will be used as a backup outfielder. Jones' productivity has dropped in recent years but he still has a lot of power hitting off lefty pitching. This will allow the Yankees to give more days off to their outfielders, Curtis Granderson, Brett Gardner, and Nick Swisher.
