The Yankees most productive Triple-A hitter has moved on to Baltimore.
First baseman Steve Pearce had a June 1 out in his contract, one that let him leave the Yankees if another team was willing to add him to its 25-man roster. The Orioles wanted him, so they got him. According to Brian Cashman, Pearce’s contract was technically assigned to the Orioles big league roster. It’s not really waiver claim, and not really a trade because the Yankees didn’t get anything in return. He was allowed to leave, so he did.
Pearce was hitting .321/.422/.574 while playing primarily first base, plus a little bit of third base and the outfield.
Oh, the crazy Mets kids.
Joel Sherman?@Joelsherman1
Hard to believe dept: I heard Elvin Ramirez,called up yest by #Mets, hurt hamstring diving into Johan no-no pile, likely DL bound. #unreal.
GB7,
Wonder if young Elvin will ever see the majors again. Sad.

That’s a tough way to get ML meal money, huh?
By the way, that first report was from the Yankees’ official site that it was a cash sale of Pearce. Doesn’t make a lot of difference because he wasn’t on the 40 man roster, anyway.
baltimore DFA’d Bill Hall. Maybe he gives NYYs another try.
Potential trade with Nats of Nik Turley and Nunez for Edwin Jackson and a Charleston OF, as per Norris…

Which OF? Not Mason or Austin, I hope. De Leon? Not a fan of this deal.
And Gamel who is on the DL…

OMG.
Stop this guy before he destroys the next 10 years.
DeLeon would be a possible from Charleston
I wouldn’t want to deal a lefty in Turley and De Leon is starting to find it. I’d love to see him progress. And we could have signed Jackson as a FA for nothing. I hope this rumor isn’t true.
Pruf, as per your yesterday post, Feliz is on 7 day DL.
Ugh, DePaula is pitching in the DSL this season for family reasons. No Staten Island.
Today is DSL opening games. So, we should have boxes at some point.
Ali Castillo and Casey Stephenson are other infielder/outfielders from Charleston. I could see NYYs moving Sean Black before Turley, though. Nats would need to eat the majority of that contract to include Nunez, though.
I want to KEEP DeLeon, especially that he’s shortened up his swing. He’s not 24 years old, like Mesa, and has power and a great arm. He’s still a project, but has made strides and is the perfect future RF for the NYY if he can continue to evolve as a hitter.
Thanks, YF, on Feliz. I put the question to PT and hadn’t checked yet. Any idea what’s wrong with him? I’ll also check to see if Teale responded.
Jackson is basically Joba Chamberlain, who would have been a better had he been left a starter.
If they do this, they’re going to spin Hughes or someone else into something else.
OMG!!!! I doubt Cashman’s going to ruin the farm system for the next year, let alone the next 10 years.
GB, not liking the deal at all if it is Turley, Nunez, De Leon. Also I just heard that Liccien is being converted to pitcher.
They won’t even offer Jackson arb because they can’t afford it if he accepts
It is actually quite amusing at this point that they continue to chase their tail trying to acquire yet another pitcher… just never ends… year after year
Hey Brian, why not actually develop and trust the guys that, you know, you signed/drafted and talk up every spring…

“Family reasons”? Like, he’s from another family entirely, and his birth certificate is bogus? Again?
Sucks. Was looking forward to seeing him this month.
What’s Jackson’s contract? Another 11 million and a FA next year? I am not getting how that works with the budget unless we are dealing someone.
. Just keep waving your pom poms while they run the team into the dirt. As long as the FO does it, it’s cool with you cheerleaders here, who have no lives and spend your time shaking your impotent little fists at fellow posters on a GD baseball blog.
Whatever, loser.
Liccien was a catcher, wasn’t he? Only saw him a couple of times in the GCL. Not all that impressive with the bat. Don’t remember him having a particulary rocket arm behind the plate.
Pruf, I don’t know why about De Paula re: family, but I do know he has some work to do after the long layoff, so maybe that is also a factor. No idea about Feliz…
GB, yes. I always heard he was mlb ready on the defensive side, but yeah, no bat whatsoever. I read he is sitting 91-93, so maybe that arm can be put to a new and productive use.
I want to see the DSL rosters, don’t know if what they have now is current. Exciting that we can at least follow stats, but really unhappy that we won’t get to see De Paula this year.
pitcher… just never ends… year after year

Nope. No can do. Turned a rich man’s Edwin Jackson into a sixth inning guy, because, y’know, why fight it: he’s got that “reliever mentality.”
Ladies and gentlemen: Mike Francesa is basically running your favorite baseball team. Like Mike, these guys go for the diehard cliches without qualifiers: “pitching wins” and the like.

About to check if Patrick has any response on my “inventory” query.
With a family issue, it could be a parent dying or wife/girlfriend having a baby. Maybe half of the family is dying and the other half having a baby.
i havent been here in a couple of weeks. last time i was here, this had pretty much turned into an orioles blog. what happened? now the birds are taking yankee castoffs to replace yankee castoffs and nosediving in the standings…
Here is DSL 1 roster with De Paula on it; I don’t know if it is updated: http://www.milb.com/milb/stats.....8;sid=milb
GB7,
No levity permitted here, only high dudgeon over what may or may not happen in 3-5 years. Got it?

——————————-
And he’ll do it again next spring too rattling off every stat he can think of
Edwin Jackson is pretty much another AJ. I really hope this isn’t true.
Jackson shows dip in velocity. Higher FB rates, too. Wonderful.
I really, really, really don’t wish to see Kelvin DeLeon exit the organization. Cashman, OTOH….
If this “rumor” is true about a nats pitcher (Jackson?) I imagine someone would have to leave the rotation. have they given up on Hughes, unsure of Nova? Wonder if this would involve a trade of Hughes or even Nova, turning one of them in a relief pitcher or maybe sending Nova down (unlikely).
what about our young arms, they won’t get a shot ( i guess)
Also, I think Garcia’s days are numbered if they could trade him.
rr – Used to be you thought you could dismiss the ridiculous and say ‘nah, we’d never do that.’ Can’t say that any more.
But until there’s anything of substance, I’m not going to worry about it. After their January fiasco, anything is possible.
Wouldnt mind renting Jacksok fir thr rest of the year if the price fair…..none of their top 10 guys
Batista almost had his second – gotta’ run to a buddy’s surprise B-day ( Big Rush fan and I have some old concert programs he’s going to go bananas over – I like to bug him The Police were / are the real deal ) – one final note ,…..the Babe’s first professional homer was in T.O. – slap me if I’m wrong – J
im really worried about deleon, too, and i’m concerned that we may lose the guy selling peanuts in section 327, he brings alot of organizational depth. and that elevator repair guy from hartford, a big asset, gotta keep him away from the socks…
It’s just a rumor; doesn’t mean it is true or that we are offering Turley and Nunez. But Nats will likely be moving a pitcher at some point… But 11 million more doesn’t make sense to me…
But I really dont trust them to trade for pitching anymore…..
Theyd only be paying a pro rated 11 million for this year…..he just signed a one year deal right ….
Same here JAP. Its out of our control.
Yeah, one year deal. True, it’s prorated.
No international draft for 2013? Awesome.
Is it modestly annoying for anyone else here that sabathia and doubrant have similar #s but very different compensation?

Carlo, nope.
The Genius Maker June 2nd, 2012 at 10:11 am
Take a look at CC’s OPS and WHIP going up this year. This is definitely been his weakest year in the past 7 or 8.

Must be the intangible catcher.
Carlo,
Me, neither.

CC? His WHIP is the same as last year’s. 1.24 this year; 1.23 last year.
when dubront has 120 wins he can cash in, too, that’s the way it works…

When Doubrant puts up 19-20 wins, 225 innings, 230 strikeouts and a 3.00-3.20 ERA just once, let alone, multiple years, let me know.
lineup is up:
I remember Cashman said they had 3 guys in AAA (referencing Phelps, Warren, Mitchell) who would all be in “25″ rotations in baseball.
Last year he said Noesi would be a #3 starter on most teams in baseball, but he is their 6th starter. But hey, we can always get Edwin Jackson on a 1 yr/$12 mil deal for some high ceiling prospect.
cc never has his best months in april and may. summer is his time. right about this time he starts ripping off the wins one after the other.
Good, glad that only bothers me.
