Chris Britton

Last year as the Yankee bullpen struggled there was a lot of frustration on Pinstripe Alley that Chris Britton didn't get used.  We even wondered if he'd wronged Joe Torre some way.  In all the springtraining talk he has been missing from the discussions.

Well I finally heard him mentioned and I really like what I heard.  Seems that, like Brian Bruney, Britton came to camp in better shape.  He's lost some weight, and he had some he could afford to lose.  Like Bruney, anything positive we get from Britton is a plus.  I don't think I've heard anyone who expects much from him, even though he's been effective in the big leagues in the past.

The Yankees seem to carry less fat players than other big league teams.  I wonder if his tubbyness was part of what kept him out of the pen in 2007.
