No Alberto Gonzalez?
Refuse to Boo!
(Unless it's Melky. Or a Jeter GIDP. Or Damon throwing home.)
Clippard got the invite; it's not just Yankee fans who are high on him.
Correct.

How far off is Marcos Vechionacci? I've heard his name for years and remember his outstanding glove from last year's ST. Is it completely out of the question that he becomes a utility infield option if Cairo goes down this year?
He's still too young (should start in high A I think) and his absolute ceiling is probably the highest outside of a guy named Tabata so there's no way the yanks are gonna stop his development for him to become a utility infielder. He needs at bats, at bats he won't get if he's sitting on the ML bench.

Thanks. Now where is JB Cox?

No idea. He was injured a while back, perhaps there are still lingering issues?

I am particularly interested in seeing Ohlendorf. I have a good feeling about him. Why are they inviting that Hughes guy? Heard he's a bum.

Spring Training invites automatically mean we're calling him a "utility infielder?"
He's also on the 40 man roster.
Second place only means you're first loser. Go ANSKY!! 23-2-21-42
Of course not, but the poster who brought him up suggested he be used as one if Cairo was unable.

Calmer than you are.
yeah if your on 40 man you don't need an invite.
he's on the 40 man, no?
No, he's not.
The current 40 man roster, per Abraham:
http://www.lohud.com/blogs/lohudyankees.html
Pitchers (22): T.J. Beam, Colter Bean, Chris Britton, Brian Bruney, Matt DeSalvo, Kyle Farnsworth, Sean Henn, Kei Igawa, Jeff Karstens, Jeff Kennard, Mike Mussina, Mike Myers, Carl Pavano, Andy Pettitte, Scott Proctor, Darrell Rasner, Mariano Rivera, Humberto Sanchez, Jose Veras, Luis Vizcaino, Chien-Ming Wang, Chase Wright.
Catchers (2): Wil Nieves, Jose Posada.
Infielders (9): Robinson Cano, Jason Giambi, Alberto Gonzalez, Derek Jeter, Doug Mientkiewicz, Juan Miranda, Josh Phelps, Andy Phillips, Alex Rodriguez.
Outfielders (7): Bobby Abreu, Melky Cabrera, Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, Kevin Reese, Bronson Sardinha, Kevin Thompson.
That's 40. Josh Phelps is a Rule 5 draft pick, meaning the Yankees have to keep him on the 25-man roster all season or offer him back to Baltimore.

I find it really odd, J.B. Cox isn't on it...
Calmer than you are.
I wonder if they'll give Gonzalez a lot of p/t in spring training, supposedly they were getting calls about trades for him before the trade was even finalized.
Oh Lord, I missed that part... you're more than right.
Colter Bean has a roster spot?
Per our friends at PP.com's boards, Colter Bean really is on the 40 Man Roster (even though he was DFA'ed...which makes little sense to me). That news also makes me want to cry, as Colter Bean has little going for him other than a cool name.
Cox might not be invited to ST because of the fact that the Yanks have already seen what he's got and instead want to see what the new guys (Whelan, Ohlendorf, etc.) have closer up.
A person who writes for PP.com said that he's recently talked to JB Cox and Cox told him that he was healthy and had no problems to report. So, we all don't have to worry about it being injury related.
So they don't want to see how Cox has developed but want to see more from Bean?
Calmer than you are.
Like I said, the fact that Colter Bean is apparently on the 40 man over Cox makes me want to cry.
Unless this is all one giant typo by MLB.com and instead of JB Cox on the 40 man, they incorrectly put Colter Bean on it.
There is no reason for Cox to be on the 40 man.
wow, cox actually talked to someone? i'm impressed
he's notorious for not giving out interviews, autographs, etc
IMO, there's no reason Bean should be either. So, if I'm chosing who to put on it, I'd pick Cox over Bean.
Why waste a spot either way? Why lose an option year on Cox if he's not ready to pitch yet?
The Rajah of RehabŪ, The Sultan of Sitting, The Colossus of Cramps, The Behemoth of Butt bruises,
The Wali of Owies, The Maharajah of Massages...
Good call.
a buddy of mine works for the Thunder & he tells me that Cox is the biggest a-hole he's ever met.
I love Colter and all, but why is he on the 40-man?
because there is no one else that needs to be on it.
I just don't understand why Cox wasn't invited...
Calmer than you are.
Nice to see Tabata there, I'm sure Abreu will show him the ropes a little. I wonder what JoPo, Giambi and A-Rod will say about Hughes this year.
No offense, but can you possibly change your signature? It's just a little bit jinxy.
Where's Cairo?
I dont think his contract is final yet... also, does anyone know the deal with Andy Phillips? Is this his first arb eligible year? He's out of options right?
Looks like he really is the next Jeff Nelson
Looks like he really is the next Jeff Nelson
haha, we'll see. He's met & hung out with a bunch of guys last season....T-Clipp, Gardner, Hughes, Reegie....
My friend told me Hughes refuses to touch alcohol ever, although he convinced him to have a rum & coke once. I told him "Mike, buddy.....Hughes is our best prospect in a LONG time, if I find out he falls & hurts his arm due to being drunk....I'm beating you with a toaster..."
Hughes, never touches alcohol and is married at 20...doesn't look like he wants to live the life of a rockstar.
Bad for him, good for the yankees.
I've also heard that about Hughes and its great. Especially for a pitcher with recovery being so important.
I assume he's out of options, but I don't think he's arbitration eligible. At any rate, it seems unlikely Phillips has any major league future in pinstripes.
Im going to a bunch of Thunder games this coming season & hopefully I'll be able to hang out with some of the guys too. Hopefully Joba will get up there eventually.
He says:
Cox: Has a "holier-then-thou" superiority complex
Gardner & T-Clipp: Extremely spontaneous, energetic, & funny as all hell
Reegie: Very shy
Hopefully I'll have pictures to post this season with me in them cause I've seen some with my buddy & these guys hanging out.
So we can have another 30 year old career minor leaguer to serve as board martyr?
Peter Abraham is supposedly checking it out.
Nothing to say
Some guy on his blog, seems to think he has a secret injury that will require surgery. (I don't know if your name is Rich over there as well)...
Calmer than you are.
Well that's no good... hope he's mistaken.
RLYW?

Nothing to say
hes just making an assumption. Cox talked to scout.com's people after the season ended and he said he was perfectly fine
Ummm, no. Peter Abraham's blog...
Calmer than you are.
