In a move that stunned Yankees fans everywhere, Yankees management has kept Kevin Thompson on the roster and DFA'd Terrence Long! I checked the Gameday line-up and it looks like Nick Green has been called up as a reserve infielder while Jeter heals and rather than ship Thompson back down to AAA Columbus, they chose to designate Long for assignment. Of course, Long's been so bad that no one will claim the guy and he'll probably just head back down to Columbus and wait for his next shot, which hopefully, won't be with the Yankees.

Good Lord, between finally playing Andy more and calling up (and now keeping) Kevin Thompson, will wonders never cease? Next on the agenda, losing Mr. Erickson for someone else (anyone else really) and then replacing Aaron Small with Darell Rasner (once he recovers from injury) while we wait for Chacon and Dotel to get healthy.
