What is with Yankee managers and Sean Henn? Once again, as PeteAbe tells us, Sean Henn is drawing praise from a Yankee manager. Joe Girardi liked what he saw. Now, Henn in his 57.1 MLB innings has turned in a 7.53 ERA and has given up 73 hits and 11 HR while walking 43 and striking out just 38. At one point last season, Henn gave up 17 earned runs over the span of 6.1 innings. I know he’s out of options, but do we really need to live through another season of the Sean Henn experience?

According to Phil himself, the Yanks’ young star is angling for Sean Henn’s number 34. Phil says that even though Henn agreed to give up his number, it’s not quite official yet. So hold off on buying those t-shirts. Anyway, realistically, who’s more likely to make the team out of Spring Training?

Via Peter Abraham come roster moves. Edwar Ramirez and Sean Henn have been recalled while Jeff Karstens was sent down to Scranton and Jim Brower was probably DFA’d. Chris Britton continues to linger. In another move, the Yanks DFA’d Kevin Reese to clear a roster spot for Jose Veras at AAA.

Sean Henn, over his last five appearances, has given up 7 earned runs in 2 2/3 innings (with 4 of those runs coming in one outing). So the Yankees shipped Henn to Scranton and called up Ron Villone on the last day before he could exercise his opt-out clause in his contract. Villone, who has already thrown 23 innings at AAA while giving up 21 hits but few runs, will now be used every day by Joe “Autopilot” Torre until his arm falls off or his ERA climbs above 10.00.

For those of you wondering, Luis Vizcaino, who in his last five performances has given up just 6 earned runs in 5 IP (10.80 ERA), is still with the team. Barf.
