Our View: Traber was recalled by the team yesterday, and he gave up five runs and nine hits in his 3.2 inning performance. His 3.32 ERA in the minors was ok, but he is just an average relief option at best.

| The Yankees added Billy Traber to their 40-man roster on Saturday, though it doesn't mean he's landed a spot on the team, according to the New York Daily News. "Not necessarily," manager Joe Girardi said. "But he's an intriguing guy. He's thrown the ball pretty well. But, as I've said, the next two weeks are pretty important for a lot of people." Traber's intriguing, because he hasn't allowed a run in four innings this spring and only four hits to the 16 batters he's faced. Traber's trying to win a spot in the bullpen. |
