Nova Gets the Call!
Ivan Nova has been called up to join the Yanks. Presumably he is long relief insurance for Mitre or Vazquez. We've been talking about Nova for years. He is a righty power pitcher with a good fastball, curve and change. Until the last year or so, those pitches were not creating a lot of K's for him, but that has straightened out lately. If the light is on, this is a guy who could be a much more valuable major leaguer than his minor league numbers would indicate. So let's hope he impresses. In what could be a related move, Graham Stoneburner was removed from his low A game after 1 inning today, and it was not for injury. He is most likely on his way to Tampa. That would mean the promotions are starting.In other farm news, the Yanks signed 17 year old VZ catcher Rainiero Coa. I'll see what I can find out about him, and man, are we ever loaded at catcher. Go Yanks!

It sounds like they are keeping a tight rein on Montero.
They also wanted to give him a breather cause he was frustrated.
Oh.
It must be tough to be under that much scrutiny at such a young age in another country.
Josh Schmidt was promoted.
With a $200m payroll, when Winn and Thames occupy 2 of 25 roster spots, it's inexcusable.
Play Russo everyday in LF for the next two weeks.
And on and on.
Thames is OK as long as he's DHing. Winn has no role on this team.
A good GM admits his mistakes and quickly rectifies them.
Avg: 96.76
Max: 98.3
I missed the game, but I hear Joba's stuff is coming back. That will solve a lot of problems both longterm and short.
It will if he's consistent.
Miranda will be called up according to Sherman.
Miranda could really help.
Instead of being distressed and lost, they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced.
