Meet the new guys: Dan McCutchen and Ross Ohlendorf

Posted by: Ben K. in Asides, Spring Training. Tagged: ,

Two good stories today in the New York papers about some of the lesser-known names vying for spots in the Yankees pen. Peter Abraham takes a look at Dan McCutchen, the pitcher who handed Joba Chamberlain his first college loss. Abraham’s story details McCutchen’s 50-game suspension that came about as a result of a paperwork snafu over an Adderall prescription. Mark Feinsand sat down with Ross Ohlendorf.

I absolutely love to hear this about McCutchen’s attitude on the mound:

“They call him ‘Danimal’ because he’s so aggressive on the mound,” Trenton pitching coach Scott Aldred said. “He’s a competitor who likes to play the game. He’s high energy, sort of like Joba.”
