Pitched okay at Trenton has not gotten a lot of support at SWB. Averaged about one strikeout per inning. Has already started a game at at Pittsburgh's Triple A affiliate.<BR/><BR/>Guess regarding the name changes in the trade came down to two reasons: one the Pirates may have asked for more; and by sending both Karstens and Olendorf, it cleared two roster spots on the 40 man which eliminated the option of releasing someone.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of released, it would appear that Hawkins days in pinstripes are over. He has been designated for assignment.<BR/><BR/>Mid regarding your rants about A-Rod, you don't win the MVP without coming through in the clutch. He proved last season he can hit in the clutch and he has hit in the clutch this year. It is easy to sit and put the failure of the Yankee offense on him.<BR/><BR/>I don't think there is going to be a trade for Washburn. Kennedy is about ready to come back and with Hughes beginning his rehab the Yankees can muddle through with Ponson or Rasner until he is ready.old professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823684296552393738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35713616.post-87414042653028517972008-07-28T09:16:00.000-04:002008-07-28T09:16:00.000-04:00I'm not one to question your authority Mid, but 24...I'm not one to question your authority Mid, but 24 hours seems awfully lenient for such an egregious error.<BR/><BR/>And I'm ok with killing A-Rod, but he did hit the ball hard that time up.The Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706119498881684814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35713616.post-28584427572924998252008-07-28T08:59:00.000-04:002008-07-28T08:59:00.000-04:00And 57 - I just checked with the league, you will ...And 57 - I just checked with the league, you will be serving a 24 hour suspension from the blog at midnight tonight for spreading false rumors within the Yankee Empire.Middle Reliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413753701900586090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35713616.post-28137970115720601512008-07-28T08:58:00.000-04:002008-07-28T08:58:00.000-04:00When I think of the two greatest stat collectors i...When I think of the two greatest stat collectors in MLB today they share the same last name: Rodriguez.<BR/><BR/>K-Rod collects his saves in meaningless games and A-Rod collects his HRs and hits when the game is already decided.<BR/><BR/>Bases loaded - he lines out to third.
