Edwar DFA’d

In order to make room of the 40-man roster for their newest arrival, 36-year old Chan Ho Park, the Yankees have designated Edwar Ramirez for assignment. As we all know, Edwar’s changeup is great, however, without a better fastball – a faster fastball – Major League hitters often got the best of him (2.45 HR/9 last season). Still, due to his impressive minor-league track record, it seems safe to assume that some team will pick up the spidery reliever.
At this price, the Park deal is another Cashman master stroke! He can come in for short or long relief or even play 8th inning set up man to Hughes, who can get some looks as closer to rest Big Mo whenever we’ve got a big lead or Mo’s pitched the previous day. And it frees us up for yet another trade or salary dump that can give us even greater roster flexibility this year and free agent $$$ next year. And besides, this guy absolutely blanked us in the Series….now we won’t have to face him when we see the Phillies again in November…LOL! Brilliant, Brian!

Poor Edwar – so thin they couldn’t fit more than 2 pinstripes on his uniform.
