10/02: Postseason Roster Notes
Posted by: Patrick
Joe Torre is considering using Shelley Duncan in game 1 against C.C. Sabathia over Hideki Matsui. Honestly, unless Matsui is injured and requires the rest, I start him. He's a .311 postseason hitter. That said, I won't cry if Shelley starts.
Bronson Sardinha's dad told the The Honolulu Advertiser that he'll be heading to Cleveland with the Yankees.
Finally, Peter Abraham reports that the Yankees sent the following pitchers home on Sunday: Brian Bruney (who was, reportedly, shocked), Tyler Clippard, Kei Igawa, Jeff Karstens, Sean Henn, Matt DeSalvo and Chase Wright. They also told Sir Ian Kennedy to report to Tampa and keep throwing, in case we need him later in the playoffs. Abraham notes that this leaves Britton, Ohlendorf, Ramirez, Veras and Villone for 2 final bullpen spots.
