9-1 Promotions as per WCBS postgame

[guidry36]

Jose Veras
Alberto Gonzalez

Other moves will follow after the AAA playoffs.

Doug Mientkiewicz will be activated from the 60-day DL.


--Veras shocked me. He has shown very little in the games I've watched /listened to recently.

Doesn't seem like much help, but the Yankees have called up most of the players who can help them already.

Isnt Ian Kennedy part of the promotion aswell ? and I heard Nieves is coming up aswell

[Brooklyn Yankee Fan]

Good to see Mientkiewicz will be back.

Kennedy had already been announced, though. These are the other names.

[ARoDfan4life]

GOD I HOPE THOSE ARE FALSE
except for Gonzo

[guidry36]

Torre said a 3rd Catcher won't be called up. I suppose he could have meant on Sept. 1st, though. Maybe after the playoffs??

Chad Jennings was guessing Karstens and Thompson, too.

It would mean a 40 man move, so probably not then unless there's an injury.

Ohlendorf hasn't actually been good in the SWB pen thus far.

and Karstens has

Neither are on the 40 man and the Yankees don't exactly have a ton of spots to just give away.

like we give a damn what happens to Kevin Thompson

like we give a damn what happens to Kevin Thompson

What happens when we have to protect whoever we want to protect from the draft? What happens when people get activated off the 60 day and have to reclaim their spot? What happens to anyone we pick up in the offseason who has to be added?

What guys like Ohlendorf and Gardner would contribute this September isn't worth wasting spots we don't have to give. We might have to cut a KT or someone like him anyway this offseason, as it is.

QFE. If only more people understood what you really have to think about when setting up a 40-man.

Getting Doug back is good. Torre can start Phillips, PH Giambi late and still have Doug to come in for defense.

My, my how old Kevin's stock has fallen around here from earlier in the season!

Giambi should start, when he's physically up for it, then Andy and Doug can fight over who becomes the late inning defensive replacement.

Evidently, Yankee management doesn't want to completely strip SWB as they enter their playoffs.

[ajra21]
