McCutchen On His Way Up To Scranton

From George A. King III:

The Yankees New York Yankees continue to move minor league pitchers up. Alfredo Aceves and Eric Hacker will be promoted from Tampa (Single-A) to Trenton (Double-A), and Daniel McCutchen will go from Trenton to SWB. McCutchen could be a help in the big leagues before the season is over.

This, along with the recent promotions of J.B. Cox and Mark Melancon are sure signs that the Yanks are trying to find a replacement for Joba when he eventually moves into the rotation.

When Tyler Kepner of the NY Times recently asked Cashman if Joba was still going to be moved into the rotation this year he said, “Yes, but I just don’t want to be talking about it anymore. We’ve answered that question a thousand times. All these guys have individual game plans, and one has nothing to do with another.”
