News & Notes

- Brett Tomko has been called up and to make room on the roster David Robertson has been sent down. Robertson had a 3.86 ERA in five games for the Yankees. Tomko has been dominating down in Triple-A, posting 0.64 ERA in ten games, and he has allowed 1 run on eight hits, walked 4, and struck out 17 in 14 IP. To make room on the 40-man roster, Eric Hacker was designated for assignment.

- Phil Hughes has started against Baltimore three times in his career, and is 1-1, with a 5.06 ERA. One of the game was at Camden Yards last season and he got hammered, allowing five runs on nine hits, walked two and struck out just one over 5.1 innings.

- Adam Eaton has made two starts against the Yankees in his career and he's 1-1, with a 4.22 ERA. He hasn't faced the Yankees since 2006.

- Brian Bruney played catch again today and did not experience any discomfort. He will play catch again from 90 feet on Monday. It he feels fine after that the Yankees can then stat planning bullpen sessions. The Yankees don't expect him back until June.

- I answered some questions about the Yankees for Mark over at Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove. You can check out the post here.

- Not Yankee related, but if you're a baseball fan you should be interested in Steve Strasburg. He's the San Diego State ace right-hander who many are saying has some of the best stuff they've ever seen and could be the best college pitcher of all-time. Here's his line so far this season: 11-0, 1.24 ERA, 87.1 innings, 48 hits, 17 walks, 164 strikeouts. He throws a 95-99 MPH, and occasionally tops out at 101, he also throws a slider and a changeup. At one point this season he struck out 23 batters in one game. The guy is ridiculous and will obviously be the no. 1 pick in this year's draft. If you're wondering the pick belongs to the Nationals. People are saying that Scott Boras (his agent) will ask for a gigantic signing bonus, somewhere near $50 million.

Last night he threw his first career no-hitter against Air Force, striking out 17 along the way. He allowed two baserunners on walks, and threw 116 pitches. According to people who saw the game he was throwing 99 all night and hit 101.
