News links: Feliciano, Romulo, Chavez and the Canseco twins

PrintUpdate: (Barndon) Tonight's game has been canceled, which will hurt Curtis Granderson's chances of playing on opening day. Personally, I'd rather see him not rush to the lineup just for one game that is equally important to the rest.
Also, Max Ramirez (among others) has been placed on waivers. Personally, I see him as a big upgrade over Molina. Then again, I see Yogi Berra as an upgrade over Molina, even if he is 85 years old.
- It's official. Pedro Feliciano will start the season on the disabled list, the first time he's been there in his career.
- Romulo Sanchez, the Scranton pitcher with the high 90s fastball, has been sold to a Japanese club (the reason he was scratched from yesterday's game).
- "Confirming the obvious," but Eric Chavez had made the major league roster.
- This is hilarious, but not totally surprising.

It makes me laugh
whenever anyone says CC will opt out. Uhhh… where would he get more money than New York?

Resigning with New York after he opts out because he knows he has the Yankees over a barrel.

he's going to opt out
But the Yankees are going to give him a blank check to re-sign.

This makes way more sense
I keep hearing how the Phillies and Red Sox will go after him. For real? This is stupid.
by Marisa Ingemi on Mar 28, 2011 4:07 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm sure the Red Sox will give it a try
But I don’t see the Yankees getting out-bid, unless they find another ace laying around.

Yeah
I never understood why Cliff Lee said he didn’t go to New York cause of what Boston did.. uh, dont ya know if you went to New York it would cancel out Boston’s moves?

He also said the Yankees were too old, so he went to a team whose average age is over two years older than ours. Math and thinking don’t seem to be his strong suits.
February 14th, pitchers, catchers, and Messiahs report to Spring Training.
It does not.
If he went to the Yankees, I give it to them.

Good for him. Now we don’t have to pay his old ass bajillions of dollars and we can continue to despise him instead of pretending to root for him.

whats the deal with this mysterious trade?
shouldn’t we have heard what happened yet? I doubt we got anything great
if only Cashman was willing to throw in Joba and Pena
we could have gotten Liriano!
CHARLES NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

maybe the other team hasn't informed their guy
Or maybe it’s an early April Fool’s joke on Romulo. I doubt we got anything great either, and this seems like a deal designed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.

I'm leaning towards April Fools joke.

I was joking about the April Fool's joke
It’s an early April Fool’s joke about an early April Fool’s joke. Wrap your mind around that.

My mind, just like the season, is blown!

Perhaps they meant Romulan Sanchez

They just beamed him up.

Romulo, we hardly knew ye. But still better than Steve Garrison. Or the other Molina.
It will be interesting to see how long Soriano keeps up the jerk act, and how long Girardi puts up with it. Soriano would undoubtdely have trade value, and with his contract, he would make a fine rental player for a National League contender.
Thing #6 we learned this spring: of the ’Ianos on the roster (MarIANO, SorIANO, and FelicIANO) #42 is at age 41 still the most valuable.
by designatedquitter on Mar 28, 2011 4:19 PM EDT reply actions
it's Girardi, so probably forever
I’m pretty sure Soriano has a no trade clause so he’s locked in. He’s probably acting like that because he didn’t really want to be here because he’s not the big shot. He held out too long and somehow got a payday
Anyone interested in Max Ramirez? His name isn’t Gustavo Molina, so that’s a plus.

He wasn’t placed on waivers, was he? Difference is the Yankees could just claim Ramirez, compared to having to give something away for Teagarden. Plus, Teagarden is a ridiculous name.

oh I didn't know that's why you mentioned him
I have no idea where he even is anymore. I like the alliteration, imagine Sterling’s home run call! haha
Against Boston I’d imagine it would be something like
“It’s the Boston Teagarden all over again!”
Then Suzyn would say it was the tea party and no one would care and she would be fired.
All problems solved right there.

that would be fantastic
is Suzyn the Joe Morgan of the Yankees? (why can’t we have someone awesome and loved like Kalas or anyone I don’t want to punch in the face)
She’s worse.

noooo
Joe Morgan is Joe Morgan after all! but no one is worse than the Hawk guy in Chicago. No. One.
If Suzyn could metaphorically represent the awesomeness of Roger Clemens being in George Steinbrenner’s box through a baseball team, she would choose the 1976 Reds.

Fing ridiculous
The team with the most and highest rated catching prospects has to claim or trade for a lousy backup.

Prior will stay behind in Tampa, Montero, Bernier, Maxwell, Pena triple A. Belliard released. Romine to double-A.

Feliciano and Cashman's Lousy Bullpen Signings
Does anyone remember these names: Jay Witasik, Steve Karsay, Alan Embree, Ron Villone, Octavio Dotel, Latroy Hawkins…etc?
Feliciano didn’t even wait until the start of the season to become the latest in a long line of signings by Cashman of guys who were successful on other teams but either couldn’t perform or never performed because of injuries.
I can count on one hand (Tom Gordon, Kerry Wood, Damaso Marte in one post season) those who were successful.
Also, why did he let Jose Molina and Eric Hinske go after 2009? These are proven players who they could still use!
they let Molina go because they like Cervelli. Jokes on them!
I’m not sure why they got rid of Hinske and Hairston, while not really vital they proved useful and they certainly didn’t have viable replacements. The Yankees bench was a pain last year
