Ex Rangers reliever Warner Madrigal signs with the Yankees. Converted inf job that just almost worked.
Madrigal, 27 in March, has pitched a total of 48.2 innings over two seasons with the Texas Rangers from 2008-09. He has a career 6.10 ERA, a 5.0 K/9, and a 4.8 BB/9.
He’s a converted outfielder who has much better minor league numbers than major league numbers. In his career in the minors he has a 2.85 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, a 9.5 K/9, and a 2.9 BB/9. He seems like a bad pick up or a non-pick up, but if he can figure out how to translate those minor league numbers to the majors this might be a decent acquisition.
That seems like a pretty big if though.
Will someone please stop Cashman from ruining this team?
what a fro…this is what Cashman does…he throws a few bucks here and there with the hope that there's a diamond in the rough…
I love his fro. I hope he makes it to the majors so we can see it, but this guy is certainly going to spend a lot of time in Scranton.
The Yankees don't allow their players to have long hair; Madrigal's fro will have to go.
Hey, that rhymes …
The yankees should have picked up Manny Ramerez instead of all these broken down has beens. He was a bargain at the price TB paid. You watch how he does against us now. And im sure he is out to prove a point he can still hit with the best. ANDREW JONES COME MAN. He maybe a decent or better outfielder then Ramerez. But his bat is going to hurt us in the clutch. Wakeup and make a trade for some quality players that could help us not put us in a bad position. Right now with the moves the front office has made ill be shocked to see us win 75 games.
Manny Ramirez is a DH. The Yankees have a DH in Jorge Posada. Andruw Jones is an outfielder. There is a difference here.
Who is the FO going to trade for?
If you haven't noticed, Manny is breaking down also !
Hey Ca$hman, I pitched in High School 35 years ago, how about giving me a shot, I'll accept a minor league contract !
Ca$man shall be fired, he is spending $ in trash, please send him to Boston.
Where is Cashman finding this trash? We are stockpiled with outstanding young arms. Bring them up, trust them, and USE them!!!!!
Exactly, we've got some highly rated pitching prospects and Ca$hman is signing fat, surgery laden, converted outfielders, hasn't pitched in 4 years pitchers. On top of that there was never an explaination on why they never tried to resign Kerry Wood, who was lights out as a setup guy, who ended up signing for $1.5 mil.with the Cubs! They said they didn't want to pay him alot of $$ for a set up guy but they give Soriano $35 mil and H & H are preaching, "we're still on a budget"
Abruzzese, what's the deal ?
