Humberto Sanchez pitches
ByLike, in a game. For reals yo. Check it out. He allowed a run on a hit batter, a walk, and a single. He reached his pitch count and came out after two-thirds of an inning. It’s progress.

Is he a year away from this point?
That sounds about right. No reason to rush.
Speaking of rushing things, when do we get to see his name in the TJ Watch?
Holy crap moly, I forgot all about that. I’ll add him later tonight, after I get home from work and am slaving over DotF.
Speaking of TJ Watch, what’s the latest word on Garcia?
Hey Mike,
Not sure if this was answered at some point, but are they still planning on using him as a starter? Would seem that his arm would be a waste in the pen, but them darn injuries..
They said they were going to bring him back as a reliever, at least at first. I think letting him pitch in relief the rest of 2008, then having him begin 2009 as a starter would be perfect. He didn’t have the best command to start with, but you might as well at least let him try starting one more time.
HOLY SHIT!!!! IS Christian seriously called up before Gardner? Thats just not right…
theres nothing wrong with it… hes righty hes older..there not ready to supplant melky so bring up the guy eho they dont need to get at bats everyday… i jus like the idea of them bringin someone else up.
That’s a good point too. Christian could be a bench player and it wouldn’t stunt his development. Gardner should be getting regular at-bats.
J-Chris can play the infield if need be, and he’s a RHB. I bet that has something to do with it.
Not only did Sanchez pitch, but he was relieved by Joy. Sounds like a good outing to me!
Anybody know the corresponding 40-man roster move to accomodate Christian?
Steven White was DFA’ed last week, so there was a 40-man spot open for Christian. White cleared waivers and is still with Scranton.
Thanks, Mike. Forgot about that.
Hey, Mike,
I’m totally of the wall for even thinking about converting Melky to the mound, right?
I mean, the kid does have a live arm. I wonder how hard Melky throws. . .
Melky’s got a very good arm, but it’s not a GREAT arm. It might work, but would he be up for it?
Looks like Dellin Betances is rehabbing, too. I guess he’ll be back in Charleston soon enough. At least, once he remembers how to pitch.
This is Dellin’s second GCL appearance. The first one was much better.
I can’t believe the Yankees. They’re so stupid. Sanchez can’t be any worth than Farnsworthless, can he? Bring him up! And DFA him once he gives up a hit, we don’t need crappy relievers who give up hits. They don’t know how to win ballgames.
Gah! WORSE than Farnsworthless!
My mockery is undone by my poor spelling!
What was his pitch count, 12?
Probably 20. Baby steps.
I know, I’m just kiddin. I guess I’m gonna have to drive to Tampa and watch some Gulf Coast games. I will check out Mons Venus just to make sure there are no minor leaguers in there.
Talking about pitchers throwing…
Carl Pavano (elbow) is expected to be ready to pitch for the Yankees by August.
He’s currently throwing curve balls off a mound, which puts him ahead of Phil Hughes, who hasn’t starting throwing from flat ground but won’t need as long a recovery. Whether the Yankees choose to carry Pavano once healthy depends on the status of their staff after the trade deadline.

What is the site for converting minor league stats to major league?

But its only for hitters so far
Sanchez’s future with the Yankees will be somewhere in the bullpen when he is ready.
Add Ben Sheets to the list of intriguing pitchers on the market in the offseason.
