Tom Humberto is side throwing he had elbow problems the Yankees are changing his delivery so he can throw injury free. I know people don’t see it but our pitching core is stacked you’ll see by the mid-summer what I mean.

“yeah whats the word on Humberto Sanchez? It seems like we got damaged goods from the Tigers”

Nah – the Yankees knew he was an injury concern. They took him because of his vast potential should he stay healthy. Whelan was a good deal sweetener as well.

Villone was given every chance possible to show that he had something left. By this time it’s obvious that keeping him on the roster would be a waste of money. Villone will likely catch on with another team. Probably with a minor league/incentive laden contract.

Rasner is a pretty good pitcher. He just had a bad outing. Santana went 5 innings, gave up 8 hits, 4 walks, and 4 runs in a losing effort yesterday. It happens. Villone was a pretty good pitcher. He’s just finished as far as they Yankees are concerned. Henn, 11+ years younger, gets the nod, and rightfully so. Plus the Yanks save $2.5 mil. Sounds funny right? Save? Like they need to save money, but Cashman is tightening the purse strings.

[...] * Pete Abe at Lohud reports that J.B. Cox will go under the knife due to an elbow issue. Although he may not miss the entire season, a healthy Cox may have contributed to the bigclub’s bullpen should his slider be needed down the stretch. After Mark Melancon needed Tommy John surgery last year, it is disappointing to see another potential bullpen stud end up on the operating table. [...]

Looked it up. On April 19, 1996, Gooden lost. After that game, he was 0-3 with an ERA of 11.48. He also gradually improved after that game as he progressed toward May 14th and his no-hitter.

I can only imagine what blogs would have been like on April 20th, 1996.

One game is 1/162 of a season. It is not the WHOLE season.

It’s one start.

Check out Gooden’s 1996 stats and starts before his no-hitter.

For one game, anything can happen.
