[洋基] Yankees add five to 40-man roster
http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2011/11/18/yankees-add-five-to-40-man-roster/
The Yankees made their moves to protect young players from the Rule 5 draft,
and they included their high-upside, injury-marred second baseman.
This afternoon, the team added RHP David Phelps, RHP D.J. Mitchell, OF Zoilo
Almonte, INF Corban Joseph and INF David Adams to the 40-man roster. All five
would have been eligible for the Rule 5 had they not been protected with a
40-man spot.
None of the five is a significant surprise. The only one who stands out is
Adams, a third-round pick in 2008 who suffered an ankle injury in early 2010
and lost most of the past two seasons.
That said, the guy can hit. He’s hit .291/.375/.447 in the minor leagues,
not a bad bat for a guy who’s primarily a second baseman, with some
experience at third. He would have been a no-brainer for protection if not
for the injury.
The other four seem to be fairly obvious decisions. Mitchell and Phelps are
coming off strong Triple-A seasons, Almonte had a breakout season and Joseph
is a solid utility candidate.
