06/30: Yankees vs. Orioles Postponed, Quantrill and Stanton Likely Headed Out
Posted by: Seamus
Wednesday night's game between the Yankees and the Orioles was postponed due to rain. No makeup date has been announced, but the likely date seems to be on September 26 before a scheduled three game series is set to open up in Baltimore a day later. Mike Mussina missed a start and will pitch Saturday. Carl Pavano, who was originally scheduled to pitch Saturday, will pitch Sunday.
In other news, the NY Times is reporting that Paul Quantrill and Mike Stanton will likely be let go by the Yankees on Thursday, or perhaps traded. Quantrill is 1-0 this season with a 6.75 E.R.A. in 22 games. He has allowed 48 hits in only 32 innings. Stanton was a rock for the Yankees in the glory days of the late 90's, but he has struggled this season with a 7.07 E.R.A. in 28 appearances.
It's a tough move to make because Gordon and Sturtze can't do all of the work all the time, but Quantrill and Stanton have not really contributed very much this season. Quantrill has been a bit of a disappointment overall in his stint as a Yankee. Stanton was once one of our key guys, but he is now on the downside of his career and the Yankees haven't had much use for him this season. For a guy like Mike Stanton to have pitched only 14 innings in 77 team games is a bit of a waste of roster space.
The Yankees are expected to call up Felix Escalona after the move takes place along with another player, perhaps reliever Colter Bean.
