The Former Yankee Performance Thread v4.0

[b-ball-lunachick]

"The name of the job right now is about going out and getting outs, and I'm pathetic," Proctor said. "It's embarrassing for the team when guys compete like that all day to go out there and pitch like that is stupid. I'm tired of people making excuses and saying I'm hurt. It's not that. I have to go out and make pitches and get outs.

"It's not rocket science. And to let a game like that get away, I'm embarrassed. I've never had this. It's one of those things that will make you stronger in the end, but it's bad. You wrack your brain trying to figure out what the hell is going wrong."

Nick Johnson could be done for the year, yet another setback in his career.

Sounds similar to Ortiz's injury?

[CT-Yankee]

I loved the comment about why he got out of New York! I miss Doug as our defensive replacement at first! He certainly could be better than Betemit!

Doug Mink was great! Loved his D and the occasional big hit. Great team guy too. Should be more like him. I loved when he talked about his favorite player. That was funny to hear a ML player say that. He is friends with Arod and his favorite player he says is Miguel Cairo!!

Pittsburgh released Kevin Thompson. Should we have any interest in picking him up to replace the promoted Justin Christian in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre?

Good for him. Hell of a nice guy, played softball with him several years ago, but for only half a season as he signed in Japan. Where were his priorities!!!

[EvanJ]

The Mets designated Andy Phillips for assignment.

[EvanJ]

Cincinnati took Andy Phillips back after the Mets got rid of him.
Washington put Aaron Boone on the disabled list.
Milwaukee activated Randy Choate from the disabled list and sent him to Triple-A Nashville.

[EvanJ]

The White Sox put Jose Contreras on the disabled list.

Not really a performance, but I never saw Irabu pitching and this is a good summary on how he was before coming over to US

Well, this didn't take very long:

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...=.jsp&c_id=mlb

The Nationals most likely will have to put shortstop Alberto Gonzalez on the disabled list because of a left glute contusion. He hasn't played a game since last Monday against the Rockies.
Gonzalez was injured in the fourth inning Monday, when he slid hard into third base. He stayed in the game, but was taken out two innings later.

In his short time with the Nationals, Gonzalez was 6-for-13 (.462) in four games.

Anybody else catch the Soriano "highlights" on Baseball Tonight yesterday?

In game one of the doubleheader, he hit a laser to left field and watched it for a few seconds then started a HR trot toward first only to have the ball stay in the yard. He had to stop at first base. It made Manny look quick out of the box by comparison. His next AB, the Braves pitcher stuck one right behind his ear and got ejected. The BT crew were just ripping Soriano like you couldn't believe.

Game two of the double header, Soriano hits another rocket. For a moment he watched it, then the light bulb went off and he started running. Once again the ball stayed in the park, but this time he made it to second base. You could tell though, his first instinct was to stop and admire again.

I wonder what Pinella thinks of all this? Heck, maybe he was the one who instructed the Braves pitcher to throw at him.
