Brandon Beachy has never pitched over 30 games in his 4 years in the MLB. He has shown many times that he has the ability to be dominant, however he has also shown that he is unable to stay healthy for a full year. Beachy could be a great pickup for New York considering their lack of pitching depth, plus how unhealthy he has been throughout his career he could be picked up for a cheap 1-2 year deal. Not to mention that he is only 28 so he could help with the youth movement that the Yankees seem to be slowly moving towards.
Beachy's career numbers are 14-11 with a 3.23 ERA in 267.2 innings pitched. With how much of a low risk high reward player Beachy will be in 2015 it makes no sense why the Yankees should make no attempt to sign him. He could be used as the bridge for the number 5 rotation spot until Ivan Nova returns in May. Beachy would definitely be a better option than Chris Capuano so why not try for him?
