A Yankee no more

With the recent passing of the July 31st trade deadline, we have a new name to add to our bi-weekly updates. Mark Melancon reported to the Astros AAA Round Rock Express, where he earned his first save on Friday. He was also interviewed by Alyson Footer and had some interesting things to say about what was going on with him this season. Apparently, the Yanks wanted him to keep the ball down, so they changed his arm slot from over the top to a more 3/4 delivery and the results weren’t pretty.

In other ex-Yankee news, Brian Bruney was placed on the DL retroactive to August 3rd by the Mets AAA Buffalo Bisons affiliate, where he was working as a starter. Xavier Nady narrowly avoided being traded to the Giants at the trade deadline. Johnny Damon, Austin Jackson and Phil Coke return to the Bronx on Tuesday. Johnny had some kind words of support for ex-teammate Alex Rodriguez after #600. He has been dropped to 6th in the lineup, in an effort to get the struggling Brennan Boesch going by replacing him as the No. 2 hitter. Ian Kennedy has been struggling of late, posting a 6.39 ERA in his past 9 starts, which has ballooned his ERA for the season to 4.40. He’s on an innings limit, so even when he’s pitching well he tends to get pulled early and the stellar AZ bullpen goes to work for him.

Mark Melancon-

6 Responses to Keeping up with the ex-Yanks: New addition edition

    I’ll miss Melancon. I’ve had a soft spot him ever since my wife and I recognized him on the 6 train leaving Yankee Stadium after the 15 inning win against Boston last year (the ARod walkoff against Tazawa). I guess he thought no one would recognize him, but we did. He seemed like a real nice guy.

  2. says:

    [...] NOTE-The China Post is reporting Wang is on target to open the season pitching for the Nationals this season. Good for him, and I’ll be rooting for him and following his results on the 2011 edition of Keeping up with the ex-Yanks. [...]
