WHY YOU LOVE BYB YANKEE NOTES

Alex Rodriguez: ARod is with the Yankees in Minnesota and hopefully the big guy will get into the lineup as the Yankees DH on Sunday. Look, let's be honest, the Yankees are winning. Sure, having Alex's bat in the lineup is great and can help the team, but what's the rush? The story about Alex in case you live under a rock is that he looked alittle timid in his rehab starts in the minors. He admitted he wasn't comfortable even though he felt fine. Read about it HERE.

Freddy Garcia: So what appeared to be a cut on his finger and a delayed start has turned into something more, a brief DL trip. Freddy Garcia has been placed on the Disabled List and will start the following Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles. Freddy hasn't pitched since August 7th at Boston. Girardi said on the DL move "We just thought it was a safer route. He hasn't pitched in 2 weeks." Read about it HERE.

Buddy Carlyle: Our Buddy... Buddy was released by the Yankees. He posted a 4.70 ERA this season while on the big squad. With Scranton he had a 3.98 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. The Yankees apparently just thought it was time to cut him loose, after all, they are trying to stock up with lefties after signing Raul Valdes (Read HERE) to a minor league deal just the other day. Read about it HERE.

Aaron Laffey: The Yankees claimed lefty pitcher Laffey from the Seattle Mariners. Read about it HERE. The best part about Laffey is he's young, 26 years old and he's major league ready, when needed. Laffey has appeared in 36 games for the Mariners going 1-1 with a 4.01 ERA.

Gustavo Molina: Our guy Molina, no relation to the Molina brothers was released by the Yankees. He was released to make room to Laffey. Molina was batting .239 in Scranton. Thanks for your service Gustavo.
