Clemens in Scranton

tiyuri — Mon, 28 May 2007 21:30:31 -0000

Currently on ESPN and ESPNNews. He looks much sharper tonight. 1 hit through 2 innings. Much better control than he showed in Trenton. I am glad he gets another minor league stint. Scranton Stadium looks nice with the grass too.

ESPN/News is just showing the top of the innings. If you want to watch the whole thing it is on MLB.com.

Sun up in the east? Check. Pavano hurt again? Of course!

Torre on WFAN. Pavano has soreness in his forearm and will be skipped tomorrow. Rasner will go instead. So Mussina, Wang and now Pavano not including Karstans. Yay for starting the season in the northeast.

More news. Wang is going to pitch in Tampa tomorrow and again on Thursday. If both of those go well he may rejoin the team.

Pavano struck on foot...may not live to see Monday....

Just kidding on the last part but he is injured again.

Yankees.com

TAMPA, Fla. -- Carl Pavano was hit on the left foot while pitching live batting practice to Yankees players on Saturday.

Pavano, 31, was clipped by a ball batted by infielder Alberto Gonzalez. The right-hander is attempting to make the Yankees' rotation this spring after losing the last 1 1/2 Major League seasons to an assortment of various injuries.

"It feels a little stiff," said Pavano, who later joked about having a bulls-eye on him. "It isn't the first time I got hit down there."

Welcome Back Andy!

Many thought Andy Pettitte should have never left New York. It looks like that issue has been rectified.

The left-hander and the Yankees have reached an agreement on a one-year deal that will pay him $16 million in 2007 with a player option for 2008, sources close to the negotiations told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Friday.

Nice. Looking at the market for starters one year for Andy is not a bad deal at all.

Matsuzaka winner announced tonight!

tiyuri — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 16:34:50 -0000

From the Boston Globe:

The assembled Japanese media here at the annual general managers' meetings have been told this morning that the Seibu Lions' board of directors will meet at 8 p.m. Eastern (Tuesday morning in Japan) to mull over the bids submitted by major league teams to earn the negotiating rights to coveted righthander Daisuke Matsuzaka.

In fact, there is word now from the Japanese press that the Lions plan to hold a press conference at 8 p.m. Eastern.

Major league baseball spokesman Patrick Courtney said that MLB would announce the decision as soon as it was made known to them.

I am glad that we will finally know one way or the other.

Yankees move AAA affiliation to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

tiyuri — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 15:39:50 -0000

This had been rumored for a long time but today it became official. The Yankees new AAA team for at least the next two years is the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons.

Local story:

The Lackawanna County Commissioners announced Thursday that the New York Yankees Triple-A farm team will play at the stadium next season.

On Monday, the Yankees ended their 28-year relationship with Columbus, Ohio, the previous site of their Triple-A team.

Commissioner Robert Cordaro met with Yankee officials Wednesday night in New York to finalize the agreement.
