Please DFA Ponson

[ppa79]

I hope after this game the Yanks DFA Ponson. The guy serves no purpose on this team. He is horrible.

[YankeeStripes]

I hope after this game the Yanks DFA Ponson. The guy serves no purpose on this team. He is horrible.

[lewbie]

A horrible acquisition. Cash didn't do his job on that one.

[Boogiedown Bomber]

I sense a common theme here. The way Ponson pitched tonight, he will be in the Mexican League in no time!

[ppa79]

A horrible acquisition. Cash didn't do his job on that one.

I won't blame Cashman too much on this one. He thought he might be able to catch lightning in a bottle with him. But now its time to end the experiment. He's been given enough chances and he has failed horribly.

[Babe Rules]

He'll be DFA'd to open a spot tonight.

[Steph19]

One half-way decent game and a bunch of duds. This guy has got to go.

[NelsonMuntz]

I agree. The experiment is over.

[Yankeeah]

A horrible acquisition. Cash didn't do his job on that one.

We needed another pitcher, and we took a shot at Ponson. After tonight, I'm pretty sure he'll get DFA'd, and Kartsens or Veras will be up for the remainign 3 games.

[hellonewman]

Signed. The guy is drek. Thanks for the semi-good game against Seattle Sidney, now get out of here IMMEDIATELY.

[Seth]

After tonight's outing, I agree, it's time to end this experiment.

[BJG]

We needed another pitcher, and we took a shot at Ponson. After tonight, I'm pretty sure he'll get DFA'd, and Kartsens or Veras will be up for the remainign 3 games.

Veras can't be brought up for another week or so (10 days since he went down) unless Ponson gets disabled, not designated.

Regardless, they're carrying 13 pitchers for the double header, so you could see a position player.

[cmaff05]

It'll be 12 if Ponson is designated for assignment.

[keithf1]

Get him out of here. He's so out of shape.

[5OClockLighting]

Echo!

[slickknick]

Get his fat ice cream eating A#S out of here. Please

[Yankeeah]

Veras can't be brought up for another week or so (10 days since he went down) unless Ponson gets disabled, not designated.

Good point on Veras. I would rather see a pitcher, seeing as how Villone will be useless for Saturday and Sunday (or at least should be) and Dotel is a crap shoot.

Agreed -

Bubba is hitting .310/.375/.552/.927 with 3 BB and 2 SB since going down to Columbus.

I smell a Bubba sighting forthcoming.

[cmaff05]

He's still crappy. That aspect of his game is never going to change.

[TheBamTino24]

I hope after this game the Yanks DFA Ponson. The guy serves no purpose on this team. He is horrible.

I also hope the Yankees DFA Ponson after this game. At least we get another arm up here for the last 3 games.

[longtimeyankeefan]

What this forum needs is a good instigator smilie

BTW - I will bet money that Bubba is on the bench before KT. I am not saying it makes sense, nor that I even agree with the move - but I certainly think even Vegas would set the odds in favor of Bubba.

[LIYanks]

Ponson sure lived up to all my expectations before this game.

[PinstripePride]

Good Lord get rid of this man already. He is a has-been. And he was a "been" for one fluke year. I can't wait to see him off this team.

[2JAY]

I hope after this game the Yankees DFA Ponson. He serves no purpose on this team. He is horrible.

[Shaun4013]

DFA him as soon as this one is over and get another arm up here asap.

[MassNYYfan]

What they said.

[longtimeyankeefan]

DFA him as soon as this one is over and get another arm up here asap.

Why wait until its over?

Don't threaten something like that

[wexy]

Agreed. Send him on a cruise back to Aruba.

[jbauer2485]

[NyyNjnNyg]

They probably will to add another arm because of the taxed pen.

[DJ27]

They probably will to add another arm because of the taxed pen.

Yep... the Yanks need to do the same thing with Ponson that the Sox did with Johnson. He has been given his chances and failed. And, we need another pen arm for the weekend.

[BBombers85]

Someone please put Ponson on Kevin Brown's lawn.

[ColoradoGuy]

Agreed. Cashman at least tried.

[The PRO]

I definitely agree with DFA'ing Ponson. You give the guy 7 runs and he can't even hold that lead. But when we ship him out, we'll have 12 pitchers, I think.

Beam, Bruney, Dotel, Farnsworth, R. Johnson, (Lidle), Mussina, Myers, Proctor, Rivera, Villone, Wang and Wright. What about Darrell Rasner? Is he still hurt? I still think we could use another reliever while Lidle is away on beareavement, but who???????

[NyyNjnNyg]

Aaron Small, Jesus Colome, Ramiro Mendoza maybe?

[DJ27]

Aaron Small, Jesus Colome, Ramiro Mendoza maybe?

Time for Colome!

[New Murderer's Row]

he's like the hideki irabu of aruba

[conkermaniac]

They need an extra arm for the series and they'll DFA him, but I have a feeling he'll clear waivers and go to Columbus. We'll see him back up here after the series until Pavano returns.

[NelsonMuntz]

I really don't think he would report to AAA. The only place Ponson is going after the Yankees release him is the buffet at the Sizzler.

[nydeano]

Come to Jesus!!!

[genius-24]

Lets swap ponson and johnson

[Jersey Yankee]

Had he gone 5 innings, given up 4 runs, I'd have said there may be hope. However, if this is how he performs against good competition, which he'd definitely be doing from here onward, and expected to perform at a top level, I'd say it's not worth it.

I wanted him to succeed, but since he hasn't, he's gotta go.

[Espinosa's Glasses]

Release Ponsonut.

[mitch300]

I echo what everyone has said. This guy needs to go. His team outs up 7 runs and he couldn't do squat.

[In Mo I Trust]

He has to go, another arm will be brought in for the pen.

[metalyank]

he's like the hideki irabu of aruba

Irabu says "Ouch".
