Still confused as to why the Yankees never gave Clippard a chance, only to trade him for an older reliever, when neither were very highly regarded prospects.

Because Clippard was getting hit hard at the major and minor league levels and was displaying very little control in 2007. He only became decent once he started relieving.
The real question is why didn’t they just try Clippard out in the bullpen before trading him.

Didn’t check fangraphs and B-ref didn’t have his minor league stats. Completely forgot his whole minor league career he was a starter before he was traded.
That is a good question, though. They love ruining arms by throwing them back and forth from bullpen to rotation, why not give him a shot?
