More on Lindgren

It is great that Jacob Lindgren is going through the minors like a hot knife through butter.  That said, I wish the Yankees were using him for two innings instead of 1, which they've been doing most of the time.   The Yanks need Jake to be their best relief ace since Howe or Lyle.    He's a converted starter, so it should be relatively easy for him to stretch out which he may not even have to do to pitch two innings instead of one.   Obviously, my impetus is to give the Yanks a guy, and really a few guys who can do what Dellin Betances has done this year, and what Mo did in `96 and shorten a game.  It would also give more structure to the pen, and now allow Girardi to overmanage it or over supply it.   We should have 5 starters, 1 long guy 4 two inning guys and a closer.   That's 11 pitchers instead of 13 or 14.  No more looogy's or inane match up crap. Goodness handedness and with Betances and Lindgren we have potential relief aces.   Develop a few more an we're bulletproof.
