The Yankees designated Ryan Pope for assignment, according to Mike Ashmore of the Hunterdon County Democrat (on Twitter). The 25-year-old right-hander was not on the Yankees' active roster; the club had to designate him to create 40-man roster space for Jesus Montero and Scott Proctor.
Pope, a 2007 third rounder, has split the 2011 season between three of the Yankees' minor league affiliates, mostly pitching at Double-A and Triple-A. In total, he has a 5.12 ERA with 8.9 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 in 45 2/3 innings this year.
OMG, does this mean he will finally get a picture and an accurate model in MLB The Show 2012?!
Probably not
so the pope is expendable when you have Jesus right? trading up in the Canonical ladder one might say
I didn’t know scott proctor was playing for the Yankees again. He had his good stretches pitching for the Yankees.
Alright I just checked his stats his 2006 and 2007 seasons with the Yankees were pretty good. The rest of his career well lol.
Injuries killed Proctor like it kills alot of good pitchers (aka Brandon Webb)
He’s already there. Playing DH and batting 7th.
Of all the Jesus has risen jokes I’m surprised no one has brought up the John Turturro line from The Big Lebowski.
“Nobody ****s with the Jesus!”
I understand that. They also called up Justin Maxwell and DL60’d him to make a spot. Just letting you know he was playing tonight.
no Noesi?
I think of that every time I see David DeJesus’ name.
i really wish prior was healthy i want to see him in the majors again.
Noesi has to remain in the minors for 10 days before he can come back up. Once the ten days are up, he will be brought back up.
