Yankees release Brian Roberts

[LarryHarlow]

Any chance he's back with us this year?

Only if we want to miss the playoffs. Didn't Brian go to the Yankees so he could make a post season run?

I don't know of any other team offering him a contract.

[Crabby9]

Wow. Dan, make the call. Now.

[Mayor McCheese]

say what? bring back BRob????

I'll play: does he provide anything that could be useful once the roster expands on 9-1? Maybe. But highly unlikely.

[MagicBird]

Why would we want Brian Roberts at this point?

He'd come in very handy in those situations when we need someone with a lousy arm who now has trouble making the routine plays. Can Kevin Millar come with him?

[Palmoripken]

Loved Brian but that ship has sailed.

[Trackmaster]

Another team was willing to say "we're going to pay your salary for the rest of the year for you not to play for us, just don't take our roster spot." Yeah, I'm not sure how much I want that guy now.

[El Gordo]

Defensive drop of at 2B the only place he can play but better QAB than Schoop, Flaherty, Jones, Davis, and Cruz.

Worse yet they released him to make room for a guy hitting .172 this year. Not a ringing endorsement. I don't understand why everyone wants old players back once they are released by other teams.

Nostalgia.

[LarryHarlow]

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting that he'd replace Schoop or Flaherty, but thought maybe he'd be an option if one if them went down or as perhaps a better option than Weeks/Casilla/Lombardozzi when they go to 40-man?
