Yankees cut 6 from major league camp

Found March 26, 2012 on Bronx Baseball Daily:
PLAYERS: Ramiro Pena,  Manny Delcarmen,  Kevin Whelan,  Jose Gil,  Colin Curtis,  Cole Garner,  Brad Meyers,  Adam Warren,  Matt Daley,  Justin Maxwell,  Chris Dickerson,  DeWayne Wise,  Derek Jeter
TEAMS: New York Yankees

The Yankees roster continues to shrink. They cut three players on Saturday and then six more on Sunday as the roster now sits at just 40 players.

Ramiro Pena was optioned to Triple-A and RHP’s Manny Delcarmen and Kevin Whelan, C Jose Gil, and OF’s Colin Curtis and Cole Garner were reassigned to the minor league camp, according to Anthony McCarron of the NY Daily News.

Delcarmen is the only one on this list who realistically had any shot at making the team out of spring training, but he hurt his chances when he missed time with a straigned lat. With Delcarmen and Whelan gone from camp, the only other potential right handed candidates for the last bullpen spot are Brad Meyers, Adam Warren, and Matt Daley.

With Garner and Curtis out of camp the only other outfielders left in camp fighting for a job are Justin Maxwell, Chris Dickerson, and Dewayne Wise.

New York Yankees: 3 pitching scenarios maybe 4

Via Lady Loves Pinstripes  |  March 25, 2012

Many have wondered if injuring himself on a trampoline is grounds to void Joba Chamberlain‘s contract.

Pettitte getting close to pitching in a game

A quick Andy Pettitte update here. Pettitte had thrown in his own words six or seven bullpens before showing up to camp, he’s done a few since showing up to camp and he has now thrown a couple of bullpens. The next step is getting him into games, but the Yankees are being very cautious with Pettitte and haven’t scheduled anything yet. “We are taking it day by day with that...

Putting the Pettitte Cart Before the Horse

MLB Scouting Notes: Pineda's Velocity

Via sbb.scout.com  |  March 25, 2012
TAMPA, Fla. - Michael Pineda has repeatedly made statements this spring explaining that velocity is not important right now, that "nobody throws hard in spring training", and that this is the time for pitchers to work on things.
