Assuming Aroldis is named closer and not suspended too long, how on earth do you value Miller and Betances?
And even if Chapman is named closer, do you trust Girardi to stick with it? (He did stick with Miller all year last year, except when he got hurt, so maybe you do trust him?)
Miller and Betances are probably too good to buy as handcuffs. In an AL only league, I can see Chapman going $25 and Miller/Betances $10-$12 each. No one owner can realistically get all 3 of them, just because you'd be spending $45-$50 to nail down maybe 50 saves.
How fantasy owners handle the Yankee bullpen will be fascinating - can you even justify paying $35 or more for Chapman/Miller OR Chapman/Betances?
And if not... does that mean that these guys might come at a discount? Does the presence of Kimbrel and Giles and Wade Davis as elite alternatives to Chapman drive down his price?
