No defensive replacement available for Thames.
But we hope Chan Ho Park, Boone Logan, Damaso Marte, Mark Melancon, David Robertson, Javy Vazquez, and Sergio Mitre at least had some good conversation out there in the bullpen. Nothing beats a good conversation.
What the heck…let’s call up some more pitchers!

I am having a rough year, give me a break.
Arnold May 19, 2010 10:40
Cash is definitely have a rough go so far.
Brian Cashman May 19, 2010 10:45
Who would have thought that trading my best prospect and best lefty reliever for an average player, a quality bullpen arm for an over the hill ex-starter, and acquiring the hitting version of Carl Pavano would turn out bad?
My friend Theo said they were all good moves.

Curtis Granderson is apparently an average player, folks.
Arnold May 19, 2010 11:14
Yeah, the Granderson comment is beyond stupid.
Brian Cashman May 19, 2010 12:02
I appreciate you guys trying to make me feel better, I guess we’ll see.
CB14 May 19, 2010 12:23
I can however rip you a new one for acquiring an injry prone useless sack of shit and not even kicking the tires on Jermaine Dye. At least he can catch a fly ball.
Jermaine Dye May 19, 2010 12:54
In Marcus’s defense, I’m a FAR FAR MUCH worse outfielder. Embarrassingly bad, actually. Shockingly bad. As in, I was shocked at how bad I am when I fangraphed myself.
Lori Rubinson May 19, 2010 13:14
So, who’s your favorite Yankee, guys?
Peter Gammons May 19, 2010 13:17
Don’t you think that Dustin Pedroia hustles and is gritty? I sure do!
Peter Gammons May 19, 2010 13:22
His semen is gritty too.
Warner Wolf May 19, 2010 13:23
Who is Curtis Granderson?
Tim McCarver May 19, 2010 15:20
Peter: I second that!
Johnny Damon May 19, 2010 16:13
Remember me? I look like a young Bert Campaneris compared to Thames out there.
Good thing I was passed on. I would have added no value to the team at all.

CASHMAN IS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. THE PHILLIES LOSE THE WORLD SERIES AND GO OUT AND GET HALLADAY AND POLANCO.
THE YANKEES WIN THE WORLD SERIES AND CASHMAN LETS DAMON GO IN FAVOR OF NICK JOHNSON (WHO WE WON’T SEE AGAIN THIS YEAR, TRUST ME) AND TRADES FOR JAVIER VAZQUEZ AND CURTIS PRIDE.
Curtis Granderson May 19, 2010 21:54
I’m a better player than Curtis Pride! Don’t insult me.
Curtis Pride May 19, 2010 21:56
…what?
Sen. Clay Davis May 19, 2010 22:30
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit.
Manny May 20, 2010 08:25
you guys are retarded. This comments thread has really gone downhill. That said, someone should stash a brick of cocaine in Boone Logans trunk so we can get Golson back up here. Thames is an absolute abortion in the field, walk-off on Monday or no walk-off on Monday
Randy Winn May 20, 2010 09:52
at least they havent mentioned me yet…
Joe Girardi May 20, 2010 16:53
Don’t worry Randy, you’re our starting left fielder.
Nick Johnson May 21, 2010 11:56
Don’t worry guys! I’ll be back soon enough walking in runs like crazy!
