Once a big league closer, now working his way back from a shoulder injury, Andrew Bailey is looking to earn a spot on the Yankees opening day roster. Bailey was resigned this winter to another minor league deal, but this time around he's healthy and there are rumblings about how good he's looked so far this spring.

But with two potential bullpen spots up for grabs, if he finishes camp strong there is no reason to think that a former veteran closer wouldn't be a great addition to the already deep bullpen. Bailey is an effective reliever in his time with the Oakland A's and Boston Red Sox, has career 2.64 ERA, 89 saves over 218 innings.
