Angels Get Reliever Ernesto Frieri For Two Minor
Leaguers

post from 6-4-2 ? an Angels/Dodgers double play blog on 03 May 2012 11:02:32 PM. © 6-4-2 ? an Angels/Dodgers double play blog

Mark Saxon of ESPN reports that the Angels have traded minor league INF Alexi Amarista and RHP Donn Roach for RHP Ernesto Frieri. Amarista hit .292/.337/.419 last year with Salt Lake as a 22-year-old, predominantly at second base. Roach had a 2.16 ERA this year with high-A Inland Empire, a 6.3 K/9, and an outstanding 9.67 K/BB ratio. As for Frieri, he had a 2.71 ERA last year in 59 games, all in relief, with a 10.9 K/9 and a 2.24 K/BB ratio. I like this deal for the Angels and the Padres, as the Pads get some kids with good upside, and the Angels get a solid relief man.

Mo Twists Knee Shagging Fly Balls in BP

post from Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog on 03 May 2012 10:01:13 PM. © Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog

Mariano Rivera had to be carted off the field after injuring his knee shagging fly balls during batting practice. According to Bryan Hoch, the Yankees are saying he has a twisted right knee. He was sent for an MRI during the game tonight.

Mark Feinsand reports the Yankees are obviously very concerned.

Despite reports at the scene that described the injury as a twisted knee, Yankee officials were bracing for the worse, i.e., structural damage.

Rivera, who many Yankees have said for years would be their best outfielder, was shagging flies as he does every day when he made a leaping attempt at a Jayson Nix fly ball in center field. Rivera?s right knee appeared to give out on him when he landed, then he made light contact with the wall and dropped to the warning track, clutching his right knee as he winced in severe pain.

?It looked like the Derrick Rose play,? said one witness, referring to the Chicago Bulls? star guard who tore his ACL last week.

This season might have just taken a major turn for the worse.
