Change Of Plans
The Yankees have reversed course and DFA'ed Chad Moeller while DL'ing Bruney. Bruney is having surgery so who knows when we will see him again. In their places are Albie and Chris Britton. In addition, Shelley Duncan is not in Scranton, so it sounds like he will be activated soon.
Nice to see the Yankees becoming smarter with their roster management and I am excited to see Britton get a shot. I don't know who Britton pissed off last year, but the guy pitched 57 innings last year with a 2.51 ERA and a K per inning. Why he didn't get more of a chance makes no sense to me, but maybe this time will be different.
And that is an interesting question, who do the Yankees send down when they activate Duncan? Ohlendorf is certainly a candidate and none of the pitchers promoted are long relievers, so things may still be fluid.

Ugh - Bruney was one of the "go to" guys with good heart and good numbers. He will be missed. Britton should be great to watch as I remember him as being a "bigger" version of Bruney.
Still want to see what Rasner can do this season. Good long reliever candidate.
You're right, it'll prob be Ohlendorf.

Gazing more deeply into my crystal ball, it will be Traber who departs - followed shortly thereafter by Ohlendorf. (LOL)

DFAing Moeller doesn't look all that bright now.
