Yanks Sweep O's

Nick Swisher hit a two run bomb in the top of the 9th and Mariano Rivera picked up another save as the Yanks completed a three game sweep of the Orioles. They had to come back in the second two games in the series, but they showed that nice comeback ability they have every time they are good. David Phelps had a really nice debut last night, and is just the first of a slew of pitchers that are on the way and made trading an 80-80 hitter all the more ponderous. Although, tonight in Charleston, Campos threw 5 innings of no-hit ball before being lifted for early season pitch count considerations. He's interesting. Go Yanks!

David Phelps could be this year's Ivan Nova, which brings up an interesting point...

Do the Yankees even bother to self-scout when it comes to pitchers like those two, Warren or Mitchell? Or have Nova and Phelps simply benefited from being in the right place at the right time, i.e. called up because of some short-term need, then proving to be too good to justify sending back down or trading?

And if these arms show this much promise, why the trade for Pineda?
