Yankees recall Melancon, option Golson
ByVia Bryan Hoch, the Yankees have recalled righty reliever Mark Melancon prior to tonight’s game. Greg Golson goes down in his place. The Yanks are now carrying 13 pitchers, so presumably Melancon’s time with the big league team is presumably limited. Maybe if we cross our fingers and wish really really hard, he’ll stick around and Boone Logan will be optioned back down. I’m not going to hold my breath though.

Something bothers me about that image…
wait, logan should have went down! argh
I’m really tired of Logan being on this team. He makes me want to scratch out my eyes when he walks a lefty leading off the inning.
Is Boone Logan a cat? Cuz he sure has a shitload of lives.
I heard in high school he was frequently up on all fours

I have no problem with it. The way Girardi is managing Golston is useless.
I’d rather see Golston come out of the pen than Boone.
Please stay Melancon!

Can Logan be demoted? His MLB debut was in 2006 — I thought we said Hughes couldn’t be demoted (without his consent, or without passing through waivers) once we got to May, since his MLB debut was in April of 2007.
Wouldn’t this apply to Logan? I don’t know if he’d make it through waivers, but what the hell do I know.
Wouldn’t it be great if someone claimed him and we were rid of him? That way the decision to bring him in would finally be out of Girardi’s hands.
As far as I know, this is his last option year – so he can be sent down any number of times this year. However, next year he would need to clear waivers in order to be demoted to SWB.
He may have an option left — Hughes has at least one, and Chamberlain has at least two.
However, as I said above, he’s three years past his debut, so this may pose an issue.
For your information his Dad is the guy in the Dos Equis beer commercials. Boone Logan is the man!
Boy did this move backfire. Not that Golson will see much time with the Major yanks but they cannot go into late innings with Thames in the OF.
chamberlain stunk, so did rivera, bad defense, and some lousy umpiring, yankees lose a tough game. Bottom line, bad relief pitchng, terrible bench. Rivera gets a pass as he was inactive for an extended period. His command seems to be lacking and his cutter seems flat. Maybe he just needs to pitch more. Chamberlain stinks right now. No trust in his stuff. No command. TIme to take him out of the 8th inning role. Since every other relief pitcher right now stinks, who knows what to do? May be Tampa’s year. Too many high draft choices and they are dealing.
