Q: Your name has also been mentioned as a possible member of the Yankees’ bullpen in ’08. Would that change the way you went about your business in any way?

Alan Horne: To a degree a yes, but for the most part, no.

Obviously there’s different preparation work when you’re throwing out of the ’pen, you may work on a few different things, but as far as the mental aspect, demeanor and continuing to work hard and trying to get better every day.

I’m going to be the exact same guy I was whether I go out there every fifth day or every day or every other day, whatever it would be out of the bullpen. (Source) 

I really like Horne, #4 on the True Yankee prospect list, and think he is going to be a valuable asset to the big club this year.
