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)
