Comments on: Kevin Thompson called up http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/04/08/kevin-thompson-called-up/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:28:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Phil http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/04/08/kevin-thompson-called-up/comment-page-1/#comment-19050 Phil Mon, 09 Apr 2007 16:07:48 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/04/08/kevin-thompson-called-up/#comment-19050 These are all guys who were thought to possibly be starting a level higher, so it's not just a reaction to the hot starts they've got off to. Brett Gardner, for example, was at the fan cavalcade or whatever they called it for SWB... Jackson was thought to be starting in Tampa, and after Tabata raked in the big league camp it seemed like they might skip him up.

Way to quick. These guys could just as easilygo into a slump and then what? I do think Gardner will earn a mid season promotion to Triple A, maybe around the end of June. As for Tabata, I'd say if he is still dominating in mid June, then move him to Double A. He is bound to suffer some growing pains along the way, so I'd wait. Jackson should probably spend most of the year at Charleston. He strikes out way to much, and needs to be able to recognize certain pitches better.

Once the game has started, the umpires are in control of calling the game or not. I am sure there is consultation with the MLB offices, but ultimately it is the home teams decision to start the games. In the case of weather, the home team decides whether or not to play the game.

Actually, last June (I believe) the first time they were gonna promote one of the Kevins, they also promoted Sardinha, Gardner and Tabata, but when one of the pitchers got hurt they recinded the promotions and brought up Colter Bean instead. They were gonna promote Tabata to Tampa anyway last year, but as you know he got hurt. Jeff A.

DOn't MLB have control over that??/ ESPN always say stupid things, if the Yanks starters go on a roll they will say something different.. It is a long season..

Maybe you worded it wrong but if you know about the minors you know that one guy moving up in AAA has absolutely nothing to do with other top players moving as well. And Tabata IMO wont be rushed most likely I think he will spend most of the year in Tampa. I wasn’t talking down to you I just responded to what IO thought was a flawed statement.

I kept waiting for Jae Seo, and then Trachsel and Bedard to pitch poorly. I guess our starting pitchers are in a slump. Thank goodness for our bullpen. Hope they pull out of it soon - like tomorrow.
