Chad Jennings spoke with Yankees farm director Mark Newman yesterday and has some interesting info. Among other things, Mark Melancon and J.B. Cox are expected to be ready for opening day, but Humberto Sanchez will not be. The Yankees have officially signed Nick Green and are talking with Bronson Sardinha. On the bullpen situation, he has this:

After hearing names like Alan Horne (left) and Jeff Marquez being tossed around as major league relief options, I asked Newman if there were any pitchers designated as possible relievers. His answer, in short, was that anyone and everyone is a bullpen possiblity. ...

I brought up Horne, Marquez, Steven White, Kei Igawa and Chase Wright as bullpen options and Newman didn't shoot down any of them.
