NYC Battle of the Rehab Assignment

And the award for more pathetic rehab assignment by a New York City Baseball team goes to....

Brian Bannister who threw a whopping 5 pitches in a rehab assignment and came out due to tightness in his hamstring oooh that sounds rough. He narrowly defeated Carl Pavano who pitched a total of 9 pitches in the first inning and then left with forearm tightness.

Their replacements pitched today, in Lima and Wright, and both picked up the loss and have a combined record of 1-6, don't worry take your time.

Oh for those Yankee fans out there that want to have something to be annoyed about other than the fact that they lost today (Wright was on the hill don't act surprised) Pavano's last start last year was June 28th meaning he has missed almost 11 months of baseball without the need of a single surgery. No major reconstruction nothing. Way to go Brian nice pickup.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
