Yankees give away Mat Thorton

[CaliCuse]

I don't get putting your only power lefty reliever on waivers. I might have used him as trade bait. Hard thrown lefties are in demand. Daley is hardly a replacement in there.

They didn't want to pay Thornton $3.5 mil next season, and they now have the flexibility to bring up Lindgren or Webb later.

Exactly, and Lindgren is in beast mode in the minors right now. Although would be surprised if he comes up to the majors this year

I just heard that as well. Lindgren is unbelievable. College to AA and showing a 0.68 ERA is probably a major possibility for next year. Banuelos is now in the now or never vicinity age wise. Webb is not a pitcher I'm familiar with as yet. but he reads well.
