Trivino was a good addition. He's always had good stuff. Really unlucky this year. No reason a short reliever should be throwing 4 pitches.
When the Monty trade was first made, I assumed it was going to lead into another deal. But I don't think the Yankees are dumb enough to let that happen. I think they just think Montgomery is a JAG and won't be in the playoff rotation, and they think they can get the same production out of German and Schmidt. I don't buy it with German, but maybe with Schmidt.
If Bader is healthy, I think he is more useful in the playoffs than Monty is, if we have 4 out of Cole, Severino, Montas, Taillon and Cortes healthy. But if we get injuries, it becomes riskier.
