Yankees | David Phelps wants in rotation

New York Yankees P David Phelps said Tuesday, Feb. 5, that he hopes to be a part of the team's rotation in 2013. "I would like to. Anything could happen," Phelps said. "We have seven days until pitchers and catchers report. I'm just going to go in and try to help the team, whatever role that may be."

Fantasy Tip: If Phelps were able to win a job in the rotation somehow, he would be a serviceable fantasy option in AL-only play and deeper mixed formats, but he is likely a longshot to win a job at this point. It would likely take a horrendous spring from SP Ivan Nova, or a long-term injury to a starter, to get Phelps into the rotation picture.
