08/05: Ransom Designated for Assignment
Posted by: Seamus
The Yankees have finally designated Cody Ransom for assignment, reports Peter Abraham. Aside from spending about two months on the disabled list this season, Ransom really struggled at third base as well as at the plate, collecting just 15 hits in 79 at bats.
The move was made to make room for Anthony Claggett, who some of you may remember for relieving Chien-Ming Wang after a rough start in a 22–4 rout of the Yankees by the Indians and pitching just as poorly, getting shelled to the tune of 8 runs in an inning and two-thirds (he has an E.R.A. of 43.20).
According to Abraham, Joe Girardi has said that the move was just to give the bullpen a little insurance in the bullpen for tonight's game in Toronto and that they plan on calling up a position player soon. I'd imagine Shelley Duncan will be packing his bags for the Bronx pretty soon.
