06/24: Justin Christian Called Up
Posted by: James
No corresponding move yet as Johnny Damon (sore left arch) and Hideki Matsui (knee) are on the bench and can't play in the OF.
The lineup:
Cabrera cf,
Jeter ss,
Abreu rf,
Rodriguez 3b,
Giambi 1b,
Posada c,
Cano 2b,
Christian lf,
Rasner p.
Only 3 out of those 9 haven't spent time in the Yankees system.
Update: Billy Traber was optioned to make room for Christian.
Also, if you want to know more about Justin, who can run and is a pretty good defender from what I have heard, check out this piece from Chad Jennings. Obviously not a long term answer or anything of the sort, but you gotta feel for a kid who was undrafted, played independent ball and worked his way to the ML level, if only for a game or two.
