I correct that mistake about Posada. <BR/><BR/>I think Karstens just have one bad spring training game so far even though his spring training stats is not pretty. He is our best bet for long reliever right now, there may be someone else down the minor to take over eventually.<BR/><BR/>As for Sean Henn, I know he is out of options, but I don't see Yankees take him instead of Traber who pitch much better than him. If we have to lose him, so good luck for him.<BR/><BR/>I know Yankees pay a lot of money for Igawa, but they won't allow him to stink in the major for money matter. I am sure he will come up for spot start during some point of season, but I don't think he will break camp with Yankees. I am still very shocked at his command because Japanese pitchers always have good command as far as I can recall. I don't think he will be a good bet for reliever based on his command.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you one thing, We will have a lot of moves regard for our bullpen during season. The ones break camp with us, it doesn't mean they will stay with us the whole season. So, a lot of pitchers don't break camp with us don't mean they won't come up eventually.<BR/><BR/>I come up this roster based on their performance so far and it doesn't mean this won't change during season.<BR/><BR/>yankes26, I pick Ransom, but I agree with you. I don't think Yankees will pick him either. Do Ransom have a out clause in his contract? Will he accept to minor? Just like what I said on the post, I think Yankees need 2 INF for the whole season. They probably can get away with one at the beginning of season. If Shelley keep performing and Ensberg doesn't do so well during season, I do think they will call up another INF.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-74249608211765202812008-03-21T13:54:00.000+11:002008-03-21T13:54:00.000+11:00I agree with you on Ransom since Ensberg doesn't h...I agree with you on Ransom since Ensberg doesn't have the versatility that Ransom does. We don't need another 1b/3b since Betemit can do these well. With that said, I doubt the Yanks will agree on Ransom.<BR/><BR/>I agree that Traber has a slot locked up in the bullpen and that Bruney has another slot. I think Bruney is like 'fools gold'. He's looking good now, but he will falter soon. I'd rather see Paterson take the slot, but it probably wont happen, despite how well he's pitched. Patterson will be the first one recalled.<BR/><BR/>Karstens will get the long relief job, but he scares me with his inconsistency.yanks26https://www.blogger.com/profile/06877473682091206138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-58998474268153785182008-03-21T12:43:00.000+11:002008-03-21T12:43:00.000+11:00Forget Karstens and Traber. Karstens did not have ...Forget Karstens and Traber. Karstens did not have a good spring. Sean Henn is out of options. They either have to take him north or DFA. Also, they are not going to pay Igawa all that money to pitch for Scranton. I cant see Hawkins on this team past July, so you might see Karstens/Traber types then.<BR/><BR/>You have Posada listed as a righty, he's a switch.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I think Ensberg gets the nod for the final infield spot because he's a proven everyday player if the need arises.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13389933008828142220noreply@blogger.com
