Yankees and Orioles play to scoreless draw

Unless they’re Pierre Cardins.

I was really hoping that Mitre would get slammed around so it could knock all ideas out of Girardi’s head that he should even be considered for the starting rotation. Not only do I not want to see Mitre in the rotation but he gets beat out for that last bullpen spot. I would rather some young guy like Hector Noesi fill that jack-of-all-trades type role than him. That role is important to our pen because who ever fill it will be asked to do what Aceves was doing the last couple of years. Mitre can’t fill that role because he takes forever to warm up and we may need that guy quickly to save the starter if he gets into trouble in say the 5th inning. To me, the only role this guy can be successful in is being a mop-up guy. Considering we already have two specialty relievers we probably shouldn’t be wasting a spot in the pen for that.

I still don’t get it, why does Girardi love this guy so much? He has a habbit of loving these guys who are nothing but trash. Girardi has always a thing for guys like Farnsworth, Hawkins, Cody Ransom, Edwar Ramirez, Chan Ho Park, Brunney and Mitre, all guy who are scrubs at best.
