Nick Johnson was scratched from the lineup yesterday because of stiffness in his lower back. This is the risk-reward nature of bringing Johnson back to New York. When he’s healthy, he gets on base as well as anyone in baseball, but his career has been marked by a series of trips to the disabled list.
Without Johnson, the Yankees faced the Phillies in a premier matchup between CC Sabathia and Roy Halladay. The notebook also has item on Joba Chamblerlain and Phil Hughes, Boone Logan, Kevin Russo and Royce Ring.
I am watching the tape of 30 Clubs in 30 Days and Girardi specifically mentioned Gaudin and Mitre saying he thinks they can really help the team. Perhaps he didn’t get the memo that said they couldn’t both be there?
SJ? Patrick? Frank?
And here we go with Johnson! If we can get 300 AB’s from this guy it will be a miracle!
Trisha,
That’s why they are going to merge them into one complete pitcher named Sergio Gaudin!
