Whitley returns from DL in AAA loss
ByAccording to Ben Badler, LHP Omar Rodriguez is listed on the Short Season Staten Island roster. That in an of itself means list — he could be assigned to any affiliate at any time — but it’s an indication the southpaw has secured a visa after getting stuck in Haiti for a few months. The Yankees gave Rodriguez $4M last summer, their last big signing before the international spending restrictions were implemented.
In other news, RHP Chase Whitely has finally been activated off the DL. He missed the start of the season with an oblique problem and has rejoined Triple-A Scranton.

One day Angelini will full-fill his destiny as the future SS of the NY Yankees.
Maybe if we take up a collection to help him out?

Angelini is the same age as Corban Joseph.
Wow!
It seems like he’s been around almost as long as Jeter.
Bichette and culver are quietly improving their lines.
Long ways to go, more so for Dante. They have both fallen so hard. Maybe a change of scenery might help them out.

Like to delivering pizza’s or saying ‘you want fries with that’?
Sorry, couldn’t resist…
Campos needs to be a bit more economical if they are only giving him 60 pitches.
I was at the AAA game tonight. I try not to be over zealous about a minor league game, but man let me tell you what, it was frustrating the way we lost this. Joseph hit an incredibly clutch shot to tie the game then next thing you know there’s a runner on third for the other guys following a leadoff walk, steal, and bunt. Miller managed to strike out the next guy then had the next guy down 1-2 only to give up a rocket to right. Things like that rub you the wrong way. You’re up 2 strikes on a guy in a pivotal situation.. The next pitch shouldn’t be hittable at all.
Oh well. That’s the great thing about baseball, there’s always another day. On an unrelated note Boesch looks bad. I mean God-awful..
Is the Rob Refsnyder Era officially over?
He’s just bored.
Brian S. forbids that from happening.
He will crush you.
Gumbs his bat.
Stole
Whats the deal with Charlie Short? Any good?
Nik Turley is the bright spot on this night for our minor leaguers, if u ask me.. Nice start, and back to back nice starts at that..
Saw Charlie Short pitch at Lakewood game,Looked very impressive and it seems he is carrying it to the next Level.No comparisons till at least he gets to Trenton.
I will be at the Trenton Game today if it stops raining.
When is Pat Venditte returning? And who from Triple A gets sent down?
i was at the tampa game , loved the way Cabbibo Looked , strong arm
