I'm just kidding, but it does sound like they have found someone who can replicate many of the characteristics of the immortal LaLoosh in Shane Lindsay. 

Lindsay, who the Yankees added to the 40-man roster today instead of a lefty outfielder has pitched 13 innings at AAA this year.  In those 13 innings he has struck out 19 hitters and walked 17 while hitting two batters and uncorking 4 wild pitches.  Can we get Robert Wuhl to be the Yankees pitching coach now?

Lindsay has had control problems his entire career, walking 6.1 hitters per nine innings while striking out 12.5.  He has only given up 6 homers in 270 career innings which probably means he can get a lot of groundballs.  Add it all up and the Yankees are taking a flier that they can teach Lindsay how to get the ball over the plate.  It's a worthy gamble, but let's hope it also doesn't come at the expense of additional help in the outfield for 2010.  Sadly, Susan Sarandon is a Mets fan, so she probably won't help Lindsay, but maybe he can learn to breathe through his eyelids.
