WHY THE YANKEES SIGNED MANNY...DELCARMEN

The Yankees are stockpiling arms and I have no problem with that. According to the New York Post's Joel Sherman, the Yanks signed Manny Delcarmen to a minor league deal. Read about it here in this TWEET. DelCarmen also gets an invitation to Spring Training. So, what does this mean?It simply means the Yankees get a look-see and will check out if Delcarman has what it takes to become an extra helper in the Yankees bullpen. Manny was a Red Sock and was also a member of the Rockies in 2010...that was the last time he pitched in the pros. He split time between those 2 teams and racked up a 4.99 ERA in 52.1 innings striking out 38 and walking 32. Before you barf all over your shoes, just understand the Yankees just want to see what this guy's got, he was available, probably cheap and you know that's how the Yankees roll right now. Don't look more into it than you need to. He spend 2011 in the minors of both the Rangers and Mariners farm systems. Oh and by the way, if you're worried about him not pitching since 2010 in the majors, Bartolo Colon didn't pitch in 2010 and he pitched pretty well for the Yankees in 2011. I'm just saying... anything can happen.
