Former Yankees stick together
ByOver the past few years we’ve joked about the Pirates being the Yankees’ AAAA team. Since the Xavier Nady-Damaso Marte trade, in which the Yankees sent four players to the Pirates, three more players have gone from Scranton to Indianapolis. It appears they’ve formed a bond, likely because of their familiarity with each other. Dan McCutchen and Ross Ohlendorf, who came over in 2008, share a house in Florida with Steven Jackson and Anthony Claggett, whom the Pirates claimed when the Yankees designated them for assignment in 2009. Chuck Finder of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette tells the story, which I figure appeals to Yankees fans more than Pirates.
There’s nothing I can really add to the story, so head over and check it out. I don’t think the Yanks will miss any of these pitchers, but it’s nice to see they’ve landed somewhere they can get a real shot at the major league roster.

So, it’s the American version of this?
That show looks AWESOME.
Can you guys do a story on the Joel Sherman article about A-Rod, CC and Tex’s contracts being “time bombs”?

1. We have an Off-Topic Thread for stuff like this.
2. No, it’s not worth our time. Everyone knows every contract comes with risk, especially the long ones.
. . . especially the long ones.
