Pending Pinstripes Latest Posts

Jerry Crasnick has the story. The prospect (drum roll please) was: Jeff Marquez. The 2004 1st round draft pick didn't fully pan out in minor league pinstripes, and yesterday's start in the AzFL was a microcosm of how his career has been in the Yankees organization. Good luck to Jeff.

Now does this mean that the Yankees won't go after Mark Teixeira now that they have their first baseman? If they go after Teixeira and sign him, is the Ohio State product then used in centerfield or at DH? The Yankees offseason just got a bit more interesting.

Update: Ken Rosenthal reports that the Yankees also traded Wilson Betemit and Jhonny Nunez for a 22 year old relief pitcher named Kanekoa Texeira. Finally, we got rid of Betemit. Yes!!!
