Isn’t it a little too early to announce Spring Training invites? Either way, the Yankees officially announced the Mark Prior deal today, inviting him and six others to major league Spring Training. Right-handers Brian Anderson and Buddy Carlyle join lefties Andy Sisco and Neal Cotts, and the other two are new to the organization: infielder Doug Bernier and catcher Gustavo Molina. Bernier spent the 2009 season with Triple-A Scranton, putting up a weak .263 wOBA while playing all over the infield. Molina, no relation to the catching Molinas brothers, is a Triple-A lifer that’s failed to crack a .300 wOBA at the level in four of the last five seasons. Both Bernier and Molina are minor league filler, just warm bodies to fill out Scranton’s roster and play late in Spring Training games.
