Yankees Call Up STEVE GARRISON from AA-Trenton

[OFFNY]

.

The Trenton Thunder announced today that lefty STEVE GARRISON has been called up from their AA affiliate.

He’s not here right now, there’s no locker with his name, and the Yankees haven’t announced move, but I’m sure the Trenton website is correct.

You plan on making one of these threads every time a minor league prospect is promoted to the big leagues for all 30 teams?

I think you're using the term "prospect" a little loosely.

Agreed. And actually, what caught my attention about this (and what I find peculiar about this) is that the Yankees are a contending team, right on the heels of the Red Sox, and this fellow that they are calling up has VERY BAD numbers at the AA-level this season. This appears to be much more of an Oriole-like move than a Yankee-like move. That's why I posted the link to his baseball-reference page in addition to the story itself. We'll see what happens.

Well, I think it would have been a good idea to put this in your OP for some context as to why there would be a thread about this. I'd assume this is a very short-term move, a couple of days at the most.

OK. Thanks, Frank.
