04/01: Albaladejo In, Tomko Out
Posted by: Seamus
The Yankees announced that reliever Jonathan Albaladejo has made the Yankees' roster and will be headed to New York, leaving veteran Brett Tomko as the odd man out. Albaladejo allowed just one run and stuck out 10 in 9 and 2/3 innings this spring.
Tomko was disappointed after hearing the news, and understandably so. Tomko struck out 12 batters in just over 15 innings and had a WHIP of under 1. He will be assigned to Triple-A Scranton.
From Newsday:
It's hard to say who I would have went with. Either guy could be called up at any time, but my gut would probably would have gone with Tomko.

From Newsday:
"I'm extremely disappointed," Tomko said. "Of course I respect their decision, but I'm extremely disappointed because I feel like I've pitched my way onto this team."
