So, reading YESNetwork.com's Lou DiPietro earlier today I noticed that the Yankees signed a cather. It's Jose Gil and it's to a minor league deal. According to Lou (HERE):
"... Yankees have signed catcher Jose Gil to a Minor League deal and he will report to Double-A Trenton, according to Chris Cotillo of MLBTradeRumors.com.
Gil, 26, was in the Yankees organization from 2006-2012, playing 535 games – including 189 in Trenton from 2009-12 – and hitting .237 overall. He began 2013 in the Orioles organization, but was released in May and had last been playing with the Lincoln Saltdogs of the independent American Association."
So yeah, Gil's back. Great. But look, that's not the interesting part to me, I mean minor league players come and go to bolster roster of to fill holes as we move forward. No, the most interesting part is DiPietro went with the MLBTradeRumors source rather than the Yankees, even though YES is under the same umbrella. I mean, doe anyone else think that's incredibly odd?
Now, let me state here that I have nothing bad to say about DiPietro, he's top notch, but it just goes to show what the power of blogs, or in this case, MLBTradeRumors now has in the mainstream. Good for us.
Oh, and welcome back to the Yankees Jose Gil.
