FRANCISCO CERVELLI RUMORS

Mikey O'Brien's Trenton debut was eye-opening (Photo: AshMarshall on Flickr) Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 9, Toledo 8 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre held off Toledo’s late inning charge tonight for a 9-8 victory. Francisco Cervelli, Steve Pearce, and Raymond Kruml all homered in the win, while the likes of Colin Curtis went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored to help power...

The Yankees surprised everybody when they replaced backup catcher Francisco Cervelli with Chris Stewart on the final day of spring training, but despite replacing him it looks like they want to keep him in the organization. Cervelli told Wilmer Reina of La Verdad that he’s heard that at least two teams have been interested in dealing for him, but the Yankees turned them down...

It was an unexpected move that brought Chris Stewart to the Yankees. Francisco Cervelli seemed to have locked down the backup catcher role and the man whom was traded way in the Stewart deal, George Kontos, seemed poised to help the Yankees in the bullpen this season. It was a move that shocked Yankees fans. It even angered some who had come to grow fond of Cervelli. However, after...

Since my frustrations with the New York Yankees major league club have left me grumpy for the better part of the past week, I decided to check in on their Triple A affiliate, the Scranton-Wilkes Barre Yankees.  In particular, I wanted to see how catcher Francisco Cervelli was faring.  Ten days ago I wrote an article explaining why I felt the Yankees GM Brian Cashman had “...

A few weeks ago I wrote a piece for Bleeding Yankee Blue where I described watching Francisco Cervelli, the New York Yankees catcher who had been demoted to Triple A baseball on the day before the team broke camp.  It had been widely reported that he was visibly upset at the news of having to report to the Scranton-Wilkes Barre team rather than travel to Tampa with the club, and...

I felt bad when Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli was demoted to AAA. He was a decent defensively and seemed to come up with big hits. HOWEVER, after seeing his girlfriend I have not an ounce of remorse towards him. Apparently Francisco is getting it in with actress and model Patricia de Leon. This smoking hot beauty is a former Miss Panama as well as a prominent reporter for Univision...

Francisco Cervelli isn’t an especially good hitter, he isn’t even an especially good defender, but he does enough of both that he’s a decent backup and after three years of serving in that role the Yankees decided out of the blue to send him down to Triple-A. The reason was that Austin Romine‘s back injury, which is expected to keep him out for a couple of...

All spring, everyone, including the catcher himself, assumed Francisco Cervelli would be the backup catcher come opening day. Cervelli was visibly shaken up yesterday, the final day of spring training, when he found out he would be sent to Triple-A to begin the season. The Yankees had made a last minute trade, acquiring catcher Chris Stewart from the San Francisco Giants in exchange...

TAMPA — Francisco Cervelli is baseball’s “Rocky.” Never count him out. In an Apollo Creed clubhouse overflowing with superstars, Cervelli is the Yankees’ underdog in pinstripes, the player from nowhere who makes his way to the title shot. And, wouldn’t you know it, Rocky is his inspiration. “It’s...

A concussion after a collision at home plate against the Orioles knocked Francisco Cervelli out for most of the final month of the year last season and it also kept him out of winter ball, according to George King of the NY Post. Cervelli apparently stopped feeling the symptoms of the concussion after just two weeks, but because he has had a few in the past, the Yankees decided...
