Brian Gordon: If you didn't know by now, Brian Gordon was sent down to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to clear roster space for Bartolo Colon. Read about it HERE. This move I was sure was going to be Hector Noesi, but I was wrong, and I'm fine being wrong. I'll be curious to see if Gordon makes he way back up. I liked the kid. I like Noesi too, but personally, I almost feel like Cashman's auditioning him for trade bait for the July 31st deadline. Whatever the case, I wanted to let you know, that's where Gordon is right now.
Carlos Silva: The Yankees have decided to release Carlos Silva from his minor league deal and now he is free. Read about it HERE. I guess things didn't work out, or, the Yankees are feeling good about themselves with what they have in the rotation and what other help they have from the kids, as well as a veteran like Gordon or Mark Prior who will be fully healthy soon. Here's Silva's minor league line from Scranton: 2-1 3.52 ERA, 4 G, 23 innings. He gave up 21 hits and 9 runs, struck out 13, walked 4.
Pedro Feliciano: Pedro is working back from injury and he threw off a mound in Tampa. Reports are he threw 30 pitches. Read it HERE. I've said it all year, having that lefty specialist, or in our case, 2 of them, would be a nice problem. Not sure if we'll see Pedro this year, but I hope so.Please comment and let me know what you think and follow me on Twitter @BleednYankeeBlu and join the group Bleeding Yankee Blue on Facebook, just type it in.
I warned you about the Mitre "Experience"!!!, we almost had to put Mo, needlessly...I tend to shy away from overly bashing Cashman, too much, but in light of Skip's Sergio 'man-crush' (since his Marlins' era) this has to rank amongst the most bone head moves in the last 13 years of the Cash tenure.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if "The Chief" can close it out in Queens and, maybe, just maybe, the Astros can beat the dreaded Beckett !!!
Mitre is just not good
