Player Notes
December 29, 2009
Brian Bruney would "prefer" to close for the Nationals in 2010, according to MLB.com.

Our View:He most likely will not, however. The recently acquired Matt Capps is believed to be in line to be the Nats' fireman. Capps struggled mightily in 2009, however, and should he do the same in 2009, Bruney would likely get the first crack at replacing him.
December 25, 2009
There is belief Brian Bruney will be slated to serve as a setup man for the Nationals in 2010, according to the Washington Post.

Our View:Matt Capps will work as the closer. Bruney looked good at times with New York last season, and could get some save opportunities - especially if Capps struggles.
December 7, 2009
Despite rumors that he was likely to be on his way to Atlanta, Brian Bruney has apparently been traded from the Yankees to the Nationals, according to the New York Post's Joel Sherman.

Our View:Talk about a change in team atmosphere for Bruney. No word yet on what the Yankees will get in return, but you can expect it to be a mid-level prospect to be named later. Expect Bruney to serve as one of Washington's setup men, and he could potentially challenge Mike MacDougal for the closing gig if he can regain his dominant form of 2008.
December 7, 2009
Brian Bruney could soon be on his way to the Braves, according to the New York Post.

Our View:The Yankees would likely be getting prospects in return. Bruney suffered from elbow problems last season and wasn't all that effective when healthy, though he has the stuff to potentially be an excellent setup man if he can regain his form from 2008.
October 28, 2009
ESPN is reporting that the Yankees have added relief pitcher Brian Bruney to their World Series roster. Bruney will take the spot of reserve catcher Francisco Cervelli.

Our View:Bruney was having an excellent season for the Yankees before being injured early on, and he never fully bounced back after returning. He finished the year with a 3.92 ERA in 39 innings pitched, and he managed to strike out 36 in that time. He will add some more depth to the bullpen for the Yanks.
