Smart move: Scranton has become a bullpen factory

Tip the hat to somebody in the Yank brain center: They are on their toes.

Considering the Yankee needs, our Triple A coal mine has suspended its conventional rotation of starters.


Last night, the Scranton-WB (When I see WB, I can't help but thinking a singing frog) started Romulo Sanchez 2 innings, then Zack Kroenke for 1.2, Jose Valdez for 2, then Anthony Claggett for 3.


They did the same in Syracuse. In one game they started reliever JB Cox. Another, they pulled Casey Fossum in the fourth.


The plan is clear: They are looking for bullpen fodder. After Kontos and maybe Josh Towers -- and of course, the incredible "Mr. Scranton," Kei Igawa, who threw a solid 7 the other day -- they are using Triple A to harvest organs, rather than grow entire children.
