Bummer! I was content with the Yankees doing nothing, but then I allowed myself to dream about David Price.
Yep. There was never a chance in hell the Rangers were going to trade Gallo.
Pineda on DL for fore arm strain might alter the future of the farm's pitching prospects i.e. getting them called up for a good look. I would expect that Severino would be the first to come up and either prove he is ready or prove the nay sayers. That can only be determined when he gets on the mound.At this point Tanaka doesn't appear to be a strong ace of the staff.Suddenly Warren is becoming a very valuable member of the team in case they need him as a starter
Severino has been killing it at Scranton. The problem is the way the Yankees treat their pitching prospects he may be approaching his innings limit. That's why Warren was sent to the bull pen. It was refreshing to see them dfa Capuano though. Unfortunately he may be called back now that Pineda and Nova are both injured. I also read they are looking at Mike Leake.
No question that quality pitchers within the Yankee farm system also get the innings pitched number scrutinized. Its too bad that CC never had this working FOR him in his carer. Over weight and over worked added to his age has not been good for him. I don't think the Yankees will want to keep him much longer. They might even be willing to eat his contract and urge his retirement after this season. Ashman may have seen the light regarding his geezer contracts or has had been talked to by Hal or even George in a beat down dream.
Let's hope so. There is another rumor out there that the Padre's are willing to let Shields go and the Yankees are possibly interested.
Good; Met fans can stop crying for a day.
