Yankees' Dellin Betances: Back to setup role

Betances will move back into a setup role in 2017 with the Yankees' re-signing of Aroldis Chapman.

Analysis:

If he were getting steady saves, Betances has the strikeout ability and ratios necessary to become a top-five closer, but instead he'll be used as part of the bridge to get the ball to Chapman in the ninth inning. Even without save opportunities, Betances is a useful staff filler in many formats, but his value takes an understandably large hit as a result of Chapman's return.
