Yankees Demote Brian Gordon to AAA

by Brandon C. on Jul 2, 2011 1:56 PM EDT in New York Yankees News

Brian Gordon has been demoted to AAA to make room for Bartolo Colon.

Yesterday there were reports that Noesi would be demoted to AAA so he could stretch out to be a starter again. With those being wrong, does Noesi get demoted when Hughes comes back, or does Nova? Neither?

Either way, in hindsight Gordon may have been better off staying with the Phillies, or signing with one of the other teams that was courting him, such as the A's, or Rangers.

While Gordon did get two starts with the Yankees, it looks like he won't be getting any more, at least not for a while.

No chance Nova gets demoted.

Whoops.

Unless you're a pitcher or Gustavo Molina, kindly SWING THE BAT and ignore the Binder's bunt signal.

I hope Noesi gets demoted and starts working again as a starter

Yes, that is Spike Lee.

I love this.

Our team is choosing the more talent pitcher over the journeyman. Now its up to Girardi. He needs to make sure that he continues to frequently use Noesi. Make Noesi the 7th inning guy, not a guy that pitches garbage innings. I guessing that the only reason that some are against Noesi being up here in the pen is because of his infrequent use. As long as Girardi pitches him more often I am happy they have Noesi up here in the pen.

I'd rather Noesi be starting in AAA.

He has the potential to be a mid-roation starter and he threw 160 innings last year. This year he’s thrown like…20. That is not what’s up.

Noesi will be in AAA soon

Noesi seems like he’ll be the odd man out when Hughes comes back. I just wonder who will be out of the rotation since nobody has done anything to lose their spot. I wouldn’t mind seeing Cashman try to trade Garcia, since it seems like he’s the most likely to not keep up his current pace.
