Scott Patterson

seems like he'll make the Yankee bullpen.

an interesitng guy. he's 29. he's one of the few guys the Yankees plucked out of Indy ball over the last few year (they actually have 3 such players in ST. he , Edwar Ramirez and Justin Christian )

he's been putting up video game numbers not unlike Edwar Ramirez. he does it with a violent over the top deleviry from his 6'7 frame and long arm. coupled with a solid curve from the same angle maeks it quiet devastating despite only hovering in the low 90s.

with the way Giradi is using him (basically inserting him whenever they're a jam and the SP reached his pitch count) and that he's gotten out of everything so far. (only 1 base runner via single so far in 6 inning with 5 K) seems like he's a strong front runner for a spot.

it be a interesting feel good story to watch . if he and / or Edwar Ramriez manage to contribute this year.

it's interesting cause it seems that the 3 remaining spots on the Yankee pen. 1 will go to a ex-indy ball player . the other will go to a NRI (Billy Traber) . the Yankees aren't even the Yankees anymore heh. you'd think they be the one knocking Dotel / Linebrink out cold with a block of money.

They shouldn't waste these roster spots on NRIs
and Indy leaguers, they might run out of room for veterans like Billy Crystal

nice story
but like with Edwar, we'll see. I think power arms like Ohlendorf have a much better long-term future with the club.
