CHRIS DICKERSON CAN'T GET A BREAK!

Multiple publications are reporting that Chris Dickerson was designated for assignment by the Baltimore Orioles.  This move was made because of the recent roster addition of Cuban outfielder Henry Urrutia. I guess someone had to go... and it was Dickerson.

According to Roch Kubatko of School of Roch HERE, "Urrutia is batting a combined .365/.427/.531 with 20 doubles, one triple, seven home runs and 43 RBIs in 52 games at Double-A Bowie 15 games at Triple-A Norfolk."

I wonder if the Yankees will think someone like Dickerson would be smart in the second half. I actually don't think so. While he was a good soldier for the Yankees, the Yanks have to now be smart about their offensive power, going bigger than Dickerson in my opinion, as well as adding another starting pitcher.

I was convinced the Yanks would go after someone like Matt Garza, but it appears the Rangers are all over him at this point. We'll see, there was a Tweet earlier that said another National League team could be involved, read HERE.

We are and have always been Team Dickerson here at Bleeding Yankee Blue.  Chris is a good guy and has been quite friendly with us over the past year.  We appreciate that.  Oh, and read EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: CHRIS DICKERSON where he said this when we asked him what he loved most about the Yankee fans:

"I admire the Yankee fans for their dedication, their passion and involvement in the game. It's a true team of generations much like English football.  The obsession and intense dedication is passed down from generation to generation and have New York families that literally live and die by the Yankees."

Good Luck Chris... maybe we'll see you around soon.
