Player Notes

October 28, 2009
ESPN is reporting that the Yankees have added relief pitcher Brian Bruney to their World Series roster. Bruney will take the spot of reserve catcher Francisco Cervelli.

Our View:Bruney was having an excellent season for the Yankees before being injured early on, and he never fully bounced back after returning. He finished the year with a 3.92 ERA in 39 innings pitched, and he managed to strike out 36 in that time. He will add some more depth to the bullpen for the Yanks.

June 26, 2009
According to the New York Daily News, Yankees' relever Brian Bruney has smoothed over his argument with Mets' closer Francisco Rodriguez by sending a clubhouse attendant to apologize. Bruney and K-Rod had to be seperated before a game in the last Subway Series.

Our View:Bruney had been running his mouth about K-Rod, and apparently neither pitcher is too fond of the other. With another series between the two coming up, it looks like Bruney has made amends with the Mets' closer. Don't expect any fireworks before these games between the two.

June 16, 2009
Brian Bruney has been activated from the DL following his recovery from a strained right elbow, according to TSN. Jose Veras was designated for assignment as the adjoining move.

Our View:The Yankees will be pleased to get Bruney back in their bullpen as he holds a solid 0.56 WHIP. But he only holds fantasy value in deeper leagues that feature middle men.

June 15, 2009
The New York Times reports that reliever Brian Bruney apologized on Sunday for degrading comments made towards Francisco Rodriguez earlier in the weekend. Bruney and Rodriguez had to be separated in the outfield prior to Sunday's game.

Our View:Bruney is clearly not a fan of K-Rod's, but his lack of a track record suggests that he shouldn't really be saying anything about the Mets closer. It is good to see him step up and apologize for calling K-Rod a "tired act." Once healthy, Bruney could factor into the Yankees bullpen as a possible setup option for Mariano Rivera.

June 13, 2009
According to the New York Daily News, Yankees' reliever Brian Bruney is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment in Double-A Trenton on Saturday. Bruney is expected to rejoin the team next week barring any setbacks.

Our View:Bruney should throw an inning today, and if all goes well he should be back in the Yanks' pen later this week. He will be a nice added piece to the Yankees' bullpen, and leagues that count holds should give him a hard look.
