LATEST NEWS ABOUT CARLOS RODON & THAT CRANKY BACK

Right now, the Yankee fan base is waiting for Carlos Rodon to declare that he is not a big waste of money.  Now I don't think he is at all, but that's the chatter among the fans. We are very excited to see Rodon on the bump in New York... but it's been a slow way to get there.  Now we have some news.

Pinstripe Alley writes that the New York Daily News writes: "...he continues to recover from a balky back. The latest news on that front is good news, as the lefty played catch and made throws up to 120 feet at Yankee Stadium yesterday. His back is feeling better as well. While Rodón’s still at least a month away from a true return, as he must face throw bullpens and face live hitters before even beginning a rehab assignment, it’s heartening to see him back with the team and performing baseball activities."

If you're asking why I didn't quote the Daily News directly it's simple. I refuse to pay a subscription for online publications.  Get over yourself. 

Look, Rodon is a stud, we all know it. It's just that starting out like this in the Bronx is never a good way to fall in the good graces of Yankee fans. We just expect too much is all.

Get well soon Carlos, we cannot wait to see you make your debut.
