Yankees designate Mike Myers for assignment

[jacksonianmarch]

bout damn time. Nothing like a one batter pitcher who cannot get that one batter out.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Well I saw that coming...

 

last season. Seriously, 'about time' doesnt even begin to cover it.

[jacksonianmarch]

he has a BAA vs lefties of .312. I mean cmon.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Ten bucks says the Cardinals pick him up.

So when the Yankees need to upgrade their bullpen, they cut ties with two of their pitchers?

 

Are JOBA and Britton (who I'd assume they'd call up) really the answer?

Can't be worse than Proctor and Myers...

I really think Yankee fans took both of these guys for granted. Proctor pitches til his arm falls off and Myers sported what, a 2.66 ERA with an ERA+ of 162?

 

Yeah, they were awful. An Innings eater and a guy with a 162 ERA+.

I can understand the logic for Proctor, but trying to validate Myers spot on this roster is assinine at best. Myers is not the guy you bring in to a 1 run game to pitch a full inning. He is a guy who comes in to face lefties one pitch at a time. And the fact that he only had a 2.66ERA speaks to how wonderful the other pitchers have been at bailing him out.

 

When your only job is to get lefties out and they hit you at a rate of .312 with a .850+ OPS, then you arent doing your job. You would have an argument if Myers was being used as a full inning reliever, but he isnt.

Not to mention the fact that he has allowed a lot (I think) of inherited runners to score.

[Mr Crunchy]

meyers never impressed

hed come in against the stud lefty and usually walk him

ny got him to get papi out

i dont know how he fared but after torre pulled him in the 2nd inning of clemens meltdown it was evident his time had come and gone

[TheKilo]

Addition by subtraction is a risky proposition. The Yankees pen is worse without Proctor there.

What was your BAC when you thought this was funny? I'll try to match it, and see if I can crack a smile.
