Comments on: The Cody Ransom Era isn’t over quite yet http://riveraveblues.com/2009/08/the-cody-ransom-era-isnt-over-quite-yet-15674/ A New York Yankees Blog Wed, 15 Feb 2012 04:28:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: wilcymoore http://riveraveblues.com/2009/08/the-cody-ransom-era-isnt-over-quite-yet-15674/#comment-525370 wilcymoore Tue, 11 Aug 2009 02:53:24 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=15674#comment-525370 Enough with kicking Cody Ransom. A major league regular he's not, but I've seen lots worse players. He hit 26 HR's last year (22 with AAA Scranton in a little over 400 AB, and 4 with the Yankees in 43 AB), and he's pretty athletic, so he's not without redeeming qualities. He started the season as the Yankees' regular 3rd basement because of Alex Rodriguez' injury, and he got exposed. I'm not lobbying to return him to the big league club, but all this piling on is wasted energy. Enough with kicking Cody Ransom. A major league regular he’s not, but I’ve seen lots worse players.

Sucks for the Yankees that the bluejays dont have to pay him the remainder on that contract. As for players who play way below expectations, Rios is headed to Chicago for nothing.
