Yahoo! Sports – MLB – Yankees Crushing Oakland
The Yanks are up by 10 runs as I write this, and Kevin Brown is out of the game, so it looks like I was right. It wasn’t a bad idea to let him go this week against the weak Athletics.
Brown continues to throw strikes and continues to keep the ball in the yard. If he had half a defense behind him he’d win games against weak-hitting teams. Oh, that’s what he’s doing.
This coming week he gets the Mets at Shea. The Mets are a mid-level offensive team, but they have some rather powerful hitters in the lineup. I still wouldn’t give up on Brown for the season as a whole, but he’s a major risk this week.
