Silent Designations for Assignment…and other musings
The Yankees are cleaning house…of the useless players. I shouldn’t say useless, because Mike Myers is a respectable reliever. What I don’t get is that the Yankees designate Myers for assignment and call up Jim Brower who in his limited 1.1 innings of work managed to give up 3 hits, a walk and an earned run. But he’s supposed to be better than Myers? Yikes!
Other players designated for assignment around baseball:
Miguel Cairo- New York Yankees…thank goodness. This guy blows and sucks simultaneously
Brian Dopirak- Chicago Cubs: this guy never played a day in MLB…according to Yahoo! Sports stats
Released Players:
Royce Clayton- Toronto Blue Jays
Scott Williamson- New York Yankees. Williamson played with the Orioles this year. He signed a one-year $900,000 deal in the offseason. Somebody should take a chance on him. He has 55 career saves, and two of his best years came with the Reds. They should look into signing him. It could be worthwhile.

I 100% agree with you on Scott Williamson. He still has very high strikeouts/inning ratio and still has one nasty slider. I still remember him striking out McGwire (in the middle of the homerun race and all roid’ed up) so bad with his slider Mark landed on his knee after the swing. It was that bad. I would do anything to get a YouTube video of that.
Classic!
