25-Man Roster

There seems to have been a zillion roster changes this season so far. I can't even keep up with them. I was shocked SHOCKED when I saw yesterday that Billy Traber was sent down even though he was sent down a few days earlier.

Injuries aren't fun.

Anyway, the current 25-man roster is:

1. Chien-Ming Wang
2. Andy Pettitte
3. Mike Mussina
4. Ian Kennedy
5. Mariano Rivera
6. Joba Chamberlain
7. LaTroy Hawkins
8. Kyle Farnsworth
9. Ross Ohlendorf
10. Edwar Ramirez
11. Chris Britton
12. Jonathan Albaladejo
13. Jose Molina
14. Chad Moeller
15. Jason Giambi
16. Robinson Cano
17. Derek Jeter
18. Morgan Ensberg
19. Alberto Gonzalez
20. Shelley Duncan
21. Johnny Damon
22. Melky Cabrera
23. Bobby Abreu
24. Hideki Matsui

I believe the 25th man is Darrel Rasner, but he isn't listed as on the active roster at the moment, and perhaps there will be someone else up for tonight, Friday and Saturday before we need Rasner to take Hughes' spot in the rotation.

Oh, and evidently, Hughes' DL stint is apparently a real injury.

The Yankees seriously need Giambi and Cano to start hitting to make up for the lack of Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada in the lineup. The Yankees are currently surviving, but if they keep this up they will be left in the dust.
