Yankees claim left-hander

The Yankees just made this announcement.
Today the Yankees have acquired LHP Jose Ortegano off waivers from Atlanta and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He will report to Minor League camp.
In 2010 with Triple-A Gwinnett and Single-A Myrtle Beach, he combined to go 5-15 with a 5.98 ERA (131.0IP, 87ER).
Sorry, I initially wrote that he’s a left-handed reliever, but Ortegano was a starter last year. I just have to imagine he’ll work as a reliever in Scranton. That rotation is pretty full.
Being a LHP pitcher is like having an annuity even if you basically suck.
And so another chess piece is moved.
Fascinating.
The Great Game lumbers on.
Change of scenery move?
From the last thread.
I think the person suggesting Joba for Slowey was being facetious, but the Twins would do that should it ever be put on the table.

YankeeFem, that’s the only thing about MiLB-TV.com. They show a few AA games but nothing below that. Mostly AAA. Love at least getting all of the Yankee minor league games on radio…except You’ll like watching both Mitchell and later on, Marshall. The next wave of arms.
_______
Sounds good, and I am excited to see both. The future M & M Boys?
I had milb-tv back when Hughes went up to AAA, but as you said, I recall they showed maybe one Trenton playoff game, but that was it. But still it is something, and we will have some nice pitchers in AAA to watch. I think I will add milb at some point in order to watch SWB, and especially Brackman, and DJ.
An NJ local station used to show the occasional Trenton game but not any last year. I am hoping to get out to SI to see some of the lower level prospects. The trip is kinda of a pain, but we should have some decent talent there also. I want to especially see Chris Cabrera and DePaula, and potential RP’s in Kahnle, Mullee. As I will likely see them early and then not for a while, I will be interested to get your take on Charleston when you get to see them.
yankeefeminista March 23rd, 2011 at 5:04 pm
Of course Cabrera will probably be at GCL and not sure when DePaula will arrive, but many think he will end up in Trenton eventually if he ever gets his visa.
Blake..there’s no way you can call joba a shut down 7th inning guy
Jeter say anything besides the “usual” on the Kay show??
Oswalt gets smacked by Manny’s bat. Seems to be ok though.
Just saw the Manny shot hit Oswalt. Oswalt is darn lucky.
Red Sox, you have been served…
Btw, do we yet know if we are or aren’t blacked out in NY?
The Twins would take Joba, stretch him out as a starter, and sit back and laugh as Joba outperforms Slowey.
Joba was a dominant SIG for the last 2 months or so of the season.
Spot On LGY.
Do or die for the Twins this year, they need to see performance from their 3-4-5 or else run the risk of being labeled an organization that doesn’t develop starting pitching.
# LGY March 23rd, 2011 at 5:13 pm

from 9/23 till the end of the reg season he pitched 5.1 innings giving up 7 hits and 4 runs……

//why not suggest to your boss that she convince Cashman to do the same thing?
” That’s just one thing that never crossed my mind, whether I’m making the team or not. ”
As Mitre was quoted as saying yesterday.
Could he be resigned to the fact that he’s going to be moved ? Joe Girardi can be a little deft in what he says at times but it appears that Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon are going north. Either one may have told Girardi / Cashman that a long relief role is acceptable.
“Btw, do we yet know if we are or aren’t blacked out in NY?”
Yankees PR and beat writers say No TV
but
MLBNetwork After @Phillies vs. #Rays, the @Yankees vs. @BlueJays game is coming up LIVE at 7pE & available in NY on #MLBNetwork.
was re-tweeted by YankeesPR now so maybe they struck a deal?

I think their SP and hitting will be fine. Not sure about their BP though. Be interesting to see what they do with McGee–keep or send back to AAA.
Joba had a 2.36 ERA and .200 .245 .350 .595 line against from Aug 1 to the end of the season. what you looking at Joeman?
Struck out 27 and walked 5 in 26.2 innings, 20 hits.

27 innings pitched 8 runs, 7 er , not quite a run an inning
JAP
I don’t think you can get fair value for Joba now. Of course, ersatz GM Hank may not understand value.
Joba is going on year five. I’ll believe he’s anything close to a shut down pitcher when I see it. Otherwise, it will just be more blind faith, excuses and blaming everyone else. Hope I’m wrong – I’ll be the first to say I was if he ever dominates.
If Hoskins is the best witness the Feds have, they wasted alot of peoples time and money.
I’ll be the first to say I was if he ever dominates.

Cash doesn’t really listen to women. Hence the lack of boob shaped Yankee apparel.
You may see it but fail to recognize it. What then?
Watching this top 100 players on mlb network before the Yankee game, they had Ryan Braun and Adrian Gonzalez in the top 10. Really weird choices. Adrian Gonzalez the 2nd best 1B in the game? Tex was only 25 and he has had a way better career than A-Gon.
It’s pretty obvious when a pitcher dominates.

Better gets to the boss himself then. Do you and Hank get along?
OMG ! the lack of Baseball news dredges up the great Joba debate again. He is nothing more than a 5th or 6th inning guy on this current team until he proves otherwise.
The regular season can’t start soon enough.
Colon has to make the team.
Garcia is too good a pitcher, despite his recent struggles, not to make it also.
Nova deserves a roster spot, as the #5 starter.
But I won’t believed that Mitre will be either traded or released until I see it.
I know he has pictures of Girardi! Wonder if Girardi found them…and Mitre lost his leverage…

To some
Bojo, if you’re around, Rick Peterson isn’t with the Mets – he hasn’t been since Willie was fired. The Nats are a solid organization now – it’s a good move for him.
I like Garcia and think that his bad ST, when he’s always bad in ST, shouldn’t be held against him. I like Colon as well, so I hope they both make the team. That means Mitre gets released – so be it.
Hank only takes advice from strippers and Ms Cleo.
Vineyard, I’m told it was Ferrera.
That ring a bell?
2 ERA and 5:1 k:Bb .200 bavg against not obvious domination? Subtle domination.
“Hank only takes advice from strippers and Ms Cleo.”
You guys haven’t lived until you’ve seen Ms. Cleo strip.
Sure, it costs extra, but man o man…
I can’t see is them keeping joba as a RP only… being he’s only 25, at some point they will have start him or trade him
Why cant Mitre have an oblique problem and be DLed?
Random thought – until we actually see Feliciano pitch, this may be a non-issue, to start the year, anyway.
oblique ……they had to call this injury something else before
strained rib cage?
Where do ex- farmhands go? Jason Hirsh, Humberto Sanchez !!!!!!! Anybody tracks these guys along w/ so many others……

I don’t often take a definite stand here. I may have preferences and opinions, but I don’t draw lines in the sand. I also see nothing inherently wrong in people changing there opinions. situations are fluid, and what was true yesterday may not be true tomorrow, so why should I hold onto an opinion based on old facts? Flip-flopping gets a bad rap, if you ask me! (Unless a person is a serial flip-flopper and just goes with the way the wind changes.)

Joeman,
From earlier….I only think Joba could be a dominant reliever, not that he is now (though I like how he’s throwing the ball this spring) I would trade him…..just not for a mediocre right handed starter with no upside…..that’s selling low.

Eiland is solely scouting. Of course, they won’t let him get near the Rays pitchers in any capacity.
“I agree…at some point in the future they have to make a decision with him……start him or trade him”
I would love to see them give him a chance to start again also, but considering what set up men are currently making…he could have future value in that role as well. If Soriano opts out and leaves then I would certainly rather pay Joba’s arbitration salary in 2012 than in free agency to fill that role….this is of course if Joba does his part and shows that he can handle that role.

‘Gio’ will need some oats and alfalfa when he gets there. My Visa card is in the small plastic bag with the computer cords, please feed and water him down before you send him back. If it is raining his rain coat and hat are in the saddlebag with the wine.
His ID tag with his name and my number are on his collar, please let me know when he gets there. I would guess early Friday morning sometime.

Not end of the world if Montero goes down.
Let him play everyday and rake down there.
Romine is the truer backup, doesn’t have to hit.

there is so much to see; I’d love to go back to Wine Country, but I’d also like to get back to France, and then there’s Italy. And maybe, someday, maybe, MAYBE, Hawaii.
what if it were a mystery 3rd catcher that wins the job?
I just don’t see why the Yankees would waste a 40 man spot for Romine before his time. Given the amount of play time and Molina’s major league defense and experience they would certainly rather burn him for 2-4 weeks?
Stuckey
Heyman is feeling bad about himself because he just ate 5 roast beefs from Arby’s and he needed to vent somehow.
beat out for BUC applies when both cant hit.
if Montero spent his entire ST honing his catching skills that’s why he’s not hitting.
he needs time to do that in AAA.
No need to panic betsy.
If Romine is the backup it’s because they want Montero to get regular work. Simple as that.
And it will be easier to send Romine back down than Montero.
If Romine is the backup it should be with the expectation that he can stay in the big leagues, else there is little reason to put him on the 40 man unnecessarily.
wallacematthews Granderson MRI showed strain of internal oblique
wallacematthews Granderson “slightly concerned” about being ready for Opening Day
doreen always the voice of reason
I think if they choose Romine then it’ll only be until Cervelli gets back…they’ll then send him to Trenton and wait until it’s time to call up Montero. I still think it’ll be Montero.

From http://www.talkingchop.com/200.....-25-braves
Braves scouting report pre-2010
#14. Jose Ortegano, LHSP :: B/T: L/L Born: 08/05/1987 Ht: 6’1″ Wt: 145
The Skinny:
Ortegano was signed by the Braves in 2003 out of Venezuela. He made his US debut in the GCL in 2006 in the GCL and then put together an impressive campaign in 2007 in the Appy League with a 1.48 ERA. In 2008 he posted a 4.62 ERA in Rome and was lost in the shuffle of the bevy of pitching prospects that the Braves had there, but the component ratios were strong and his FIP had him at 2.90, nearly 2 runs better than his pure ERA. He was a little bit unlucky with a .362 BAbip even though he was striking out 23% of hitters and walking less than 7%. He was promoted to Myrtle Beach in 2009 and then received a mid-season promotion to Mississippi in July. In 8 starts in AA he posted a 2.83 ERA with 42 K, 45 H and 19 BB in 47 IP. He split time between starting and relieving in Myrtle Beach but started full time in Mississippi and really shined.
The Good: He profiles a as small soft tossing lefties with outstanding control and pitching pitching savvy., but also has better stuff than most other lefty control guys, which shows in his stronger component ratios. He possesses a good curve and change and has a heavy fastball that creates a lot of grounders.
The Bad: He doesn’t have a frame that appears conducive to starting full time and though his stuff is better than some other lefties it still isn’t mind blowing.
…In a perfect world… Ortegano could settle into the back of a major league rotation or if there isn’t a spot he could be at least LOOGY for a long time.
They aren’t worried about Montero’s stick. They KNOW he’s going to hit. It’s just a matter of time.
They’ve been focused on his defense the entire spring. If they feel he’s ready to catch a couple of big league games a week, he’ll be going up north with the team.
Romine certainly hasn’t earned a roster spot with his play this spring.

Wait, Wallace Matthews?? That means at worst I’m 50/50, right?

=========================
So much to see and so little time I say. The caves are really something to see. I always think that if money was never a concern that we would be gone to see everything that we have always wanted too, kids have slowed up that plan somewhat. Pack a big stack of postcards and we would be gone.
Montero needs to play everyday and he won’t up here.
He looks bad at the plate and needs to go down and get AB’s, that’s all.
This ST was for catching, now he needs to hit.
I hope this is not another year where Granderson won’t get going until July or August because of an injury. I know he missed a month in Detroit one time but I don’t remember him being injury prone
If Romine is the BUC, then I think he stays in the majors and the decision to bring up Montero would be based on getting rid of Martin. I just can’t see the Yankees putting Romine on the 40 man when he is 1-2 years away on their time table.
When has Heyman ever been right without boras’ help or taking 15 guesses first before getting it?
So can I at least get a “maybe Stuckey is not an UTTER blithering idiot” outta this one?

Pretty much anything from SF, North to the Sonoma / Napa Valleys I could help you with, just let me know and I will be happy to.
Like the caves behind Gloria Ferrer where ‘Stuckey’ visited, he was right there and unfortunately the caves slipped by. Very cool to see as Gloria is known for their Champagne more than there wines
If the plan all along was for Cervelli to be the BUC until Montero was ready then they are sticking with it except it won’t be Cervelli. Not too hard to understand.

Why do people want to give the BUC job to someone who can’t hit?

I believe that the Yanks are planning to have Martin do the bulk of the catching so the backup won’t get alot of playing time.
On the YES ST report this morning Jack Curry and John Flaherty where explaining how the Yankees probably prefer Romine as the backup at this point for his defense.
granderson all the way… jackson can continue hoping to be as good some day.
his ridiculous BABIP luck last year will bring sobriety to the conversation when this year starts rolling along and he doesn’t start the year batting .400
“Lot of smart people on this blog, so it shouldn’t be hard for them to realize that if Joe Schmoe didn’t support Mark Melancon, it might not necessarily follow that I, or Rich in NJ, or Odds will fold our tent on Jesus Montero.”
Apparently it wasn’t enough that I said that I didn’t believe you would be one to do it, nor that I said “of course there are exceptions”.

Nick, thanks for your post.
And thank you MG and other regulars who commented that they understood exactly what I was talking about. Apparently they remember the kinds of instances to which I alluded.

“Lot of smart people on this blog, so it shouldn’t be hard for them to realize that if Joe Schmoe didn’t support Mark Melancon, it might not necessarily follow that I, or Rich in NJ, or Odds will fold our tent on Jesus Montero.”

If you feel the need to enumerate which particular posters WILL NOT be doing it, feel free.
