Is Crosby out of options, cause if he's not - this move is inexcusable! Thompson is younger and a better player (not potentially, but right now).
Small said if he is not claimed he will report to Columbus.
True, but given that neither is going to be used as a starter - the Yankees are going with an outfield of Melky/Damon/Bernie at the moment - would you rather have the guy who is in your future spending most of his time sitting on the bench, or the guy who isn't?

Got that on the last update cycle on the weekend.

Columbus gets Shelley Duncan and Francisco Butto from Trenton
Trenton gets Jesus Colome from Staten Island and Brett Gardener from Tampa.

Personally, I'd prefer a Cabrera-Damon-Thompson outfield, with Bernie as 4th OF/PH/elder statesman... but alas, Joe never returns my calls.
Rob Stratton, the Rob Deer of AAA is available again!
1. When do the Yanks begin to lose patience with Melky's .244/.349/.313 line? The OBP, I guess, may save his job.
2. Anyone catch Micah Owings outing for Tucson this weekend? I noticed today that he tops BA's hot sheet, and 6 no-hit innings in a AAA debut will do that for you. What stood out, though was the 5bb, 2k split. Over his year, now, in professional ball, he's never had control issues, I don't think.
I saw that possibility in his (one bad) outing against Carolina earlier this year. His ball moves a lot, and his mechanics (while not likely to be a potential injury concern) are just awkward enough so that if he's the slightest bit out of sync, he can see his pitches jump out of the zone. The pitching coaches really need to watch him closely.

Did you get a chance to review the file/article I sent you? Just wondering if you got it at least.
I got it, but I was hardly home at all last week and weekend. June's a busy month for me, with two birthdays (stepdaughter and wife) and there's a lot going on. I will get to it tomorrow.

Along with Edward Mujica, who is absolutely nasty. Guthrie back to Buffalo, Jason Johnson DFA'd.
-- MWE
Akron's slow to update their Web site. He did go on the DL, and isn't eligible to return until Friday.
-- MWE
Did you get a chance to see Olson pitch while he was in the Carolina League? The scouting reports I've seen have been along the lines of average fastball, great curve, decent change - just wondering if that would match your observations...
Yeah, but he's got to bring down that ERA...
Two games, then he will be reassessed. It's unlikely that he'll still be around when the Mudcats return home Friday.
FWIW, I won't be, either. I'm on a plane to Seattle for SABR on Saturday. More about that later.
That's why Gathright hasn't played the last couple of days. We were wondering.

The Cardinals apparently have moved Rich Scalamandre and Rico Washington to Memphis and demoted Travis Hanson, Shaun Boyd and Carmen Cali from Memphis to Double-A Springfield.
Got it. Springfield also released 1B Josh Pressley.
-- MWE
From Ballpark Watch (a really good site, by the way): Pensacola Pelicans (independent; American Association) pitcher Rusty Begnaud was hospitalized in serious condition last night after diving headfirst into a swimming pool and suffered a fracture of his vertebrae. Going into surgery Begnaud was paralyzed from the chest down....
*****
Also, Kouzmanoff is expected to be out for 10-14 days with the hammy problem (per BA and Rotoworld, among others).
Eric Crozier has signed with Lancaster (Atl, Ind). The Chattanooga game data was showing Crozier, who was released by the Reds a month ago, as being on the bench for the Lookouts, but a quick check of the Atlantic League trannys (which I do every now and again, looking for sales to major league teams) showed him with the Barnstormers.
