Tomko Is Gone
I would like to thank Brian Cashman for making the right move tonight and DFA'ing Brett Tomko to make room for Sergio Mitre. I don't know what Tomko had on Cashman, but I am glad it is over. (Speaking of players who were kept in the bigs too long, did you see Berroa is now on the Mets?)
Now I am having a problem with my 40-man math. I had assumed the Yankees moved Nady to the 60-day DL when Hinske came aboard, but he is still listed on the 15-day DL. I think that must be a mistake because either the Yankees only had 39 players on the 40-man before trading for Hinske or with tonight's move they still only have 39 players on the 40-man. If that is indeed the case, why are they keeping a spot open?
If anyone can help me out with this, please let me know.
