MLB had suspended Moronta for one year earlier this year for misrepresenting his age, then lifted the suspension on September 28 after Moronta admitted he was 20 years old, not 17.All I know about the kid is that he was suspended for five months after lying about his age.
Moronta, who turns 21 on December 16, is a 6-foot-1, 183-pound righthanded hitter with plus-plus speed, a strong arm and projectable power.
- According to the NY Post, "a Yankees official said there was nothing to the talk that the club had a serious interest in free agent outfielder/DH Jermaine Dye". Some fans have mentioned his name as a candidate for DH or even left if Damon and/or Matsui don't come back.
- Johnny Damon's wife, Michelle, told Newsday that three teams have already called Johnny to discuss his services for the 2010 season. The left fielder also is looking for something long-term, which the Yankees aren't going to do.
- The Yankees and Red Sox will not meet this year during spring training, not sure why.
- Mark Feinsand has some images of the new 2009 Yankees display at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Check it out.
Enjoy your night.
