MagicBizkit87 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 his name.... Sidney Ponson..... AGAIN... lol http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8259628/Sources:-Injury-riddled-Yanks-sign-Ponson The New York Yankees, adding a possible alternative for their starting rotation, have signed free-agent right-hander Sidney Ponson to a minor-league contract, according to major-league sources. Ponson, 31, recently was released by the Texas Rangers, who cited his off-field conduct in announcing their initial decision to designate him for assignment. Ponson, however, pitched well for the Rangers, going 4-1 with a 3.88 ERA in nine starts. This will be his second stint with the Yankees, for whom he was 0-1 with a 10.47 ERA in five appearances in 2006. The Yankees' No. 1 starter, right-hander Chien-Ming Wang, is expected to be out until September after injuring his right foot last weekend.

mbn007 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 http://emedia.thetimes-tribune.com/Blogs/SWBYankeesBlog/tabid/552/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3844/Yankees-sign-Ponson.aspx Most likely he will not get anywhere. Read the attached link to a Chad Jennings blog. Chad is up to speed with the AAA team. He is really "in-the-know" regarding that team. I bet he is right about Ponson also. If Texas cuts you, and they are near the bottom in Baseball in Pitching, you are bad. No matter what the reason they "claim" they cut you for.

JonEJet Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have actually followed Ponson this year He had been real good....he got lit up his last start, but that was on 3 days rest I think he;ll work out fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sidney F'ing Ponson? Jeez. I remember when I was in Aruba five years ago. He was a national hero. He couldn't leave the Yankees fast enough to suit me last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 4-1 with a sub 4 ERA in 9 starts in the American League? Welcome back Sidney. Hopefully this team, if you get to the majors again with the club, it works out. Aruba's finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Isn't it just like the Yankees to copy the Red Sox? Sign some fat, over the hill pitcher who was pretty good at one time, and pray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 good move by the yankees, even if he was a pain in the ass in Texas. if he can pitch, great... if not, cut his ass and you lose nothing... expect to see him in NY for the Mets/yankee doubleheader next friday.

Kidhuman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I had a feeling they would do this. Bad moe IMO. I agree with Bob, he was a waste 1st time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you're happy about that, who wouldn't when they realize that Ponson is on the mound? This just means that the Mets do have a win in their future... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has pitched well this season... his only problem is he's an assh0le, so he should fit in nicely with the yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he sucked, and was hispanic like Delgado, then like Delgado he'd be on the Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBrick Wall Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 His peripherals are off-the-wall terrible. 1.5+ WHIP and nearly 1:1 K:BB ratio? Sooner or later luck is going to catch up with him. Cashman should know better than this. He should never pitch a game in pinstripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponson actually has had good stats this year for the Rangers. I wonder who he pissed off down there in order to get cut like that. Even without this move I still feel good about the Yankees starting pitching. Dan Geise is pitching tremendous so far (if only the Yankees would give him some f'n run support). And Joba is coming along nicely as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Joba is coming along nicely as a starter. I don't know how any Yankee fan can feel good about the Yankees at anything. Geise pitched good for his starting debut, and nothing was really his fault. Our whole pitching staff has been lights out lately, but this team cannot hit worth a ****. Bases loaded, none out in the 2nd, and they get no runs. Not even 1 run. They are a pathetic team.
