World Series Roster Finalized
No, You're a Towel — According to Sam Borden, the Yankees have finalized their World Series Roster. Eric Hinske and Brian Bruney have been added to the roster. Freddy Guzman and Francisco Cervelli have been dropped. As Sam notes, this most likely means that Jorge Posada will catch A.J. Burnett in his starts. ...

Hinske and Bruney Added
Respect Jeter's Gangster — Guzman and Cervelli dropped as reported by the Lohud blog. This is good news seeing as Bruney really did pitch well over the last few weeks of the season, and should have been given a spot early on. I wonder however how well he'll do after not playing for three weeks. I know they throw bullpen sessions and all that, but still. Hinske should never have been dropped since he gives the Yankees that rare power off the bench we always seem to want, but never seem to have (See Wilson Betemit). We already had a pinch runner in Gardner, so having two was sort of ...

Yankees, Phillies tweak rosters for World Series
Circling The Bases — ... batted a total of five times through the first two rounds. Myers made one poor appearance in the NLDS before being dropped for the NLCS and has allowed five runs in 7.2 innings since returning from hip surgery, but the Phillies hope that the time off will help after spending three months on the sidelines. When healthy Myers has shown that he's capable of being a shutdown reliever, but he's unlikely to be used in high-leverage spots if manager Charlie Manuel can help it. New York has reversed the ALCS switch by adding Eric Hinske back to the roster in place of Freddy Guzman, ...

World Series Roster Update
Fack Youk — ... Bruney pitched in the instructional league down in Tampa during the ALDS but hasn't faced Major League hitting since October 2nd. The only frightening aspect of this move is that Girardi might try to use him for a fraction of an inning when it counts instead of relegating him strictly to mop-up duty. With Chad Gaudin unavailable for Games 1 & 2 after ...

World Series news brief - Yankees roster announced
Yankees Chick — ... http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/10/28/bruney-hinske-added-to-roster-guzman-cervelli-off/ So we're looking at basically the same roster as the previous two series, only Bruney and Hinske have been added in place of Guzman and Cervelli.  I like this for a couple of reasons.  One, we need an extra arm in the bullpen and Bruney scares me no more than Marte does.  A couple times during the ALCS we almost ran out of pitchers because of extra-innings games, and if a game goes deep....I don't want to think about Nick Swisher having to start again.  Two, if ...

Yankees set roster
ESPN Feed: neyer rob — ... Makes sense to me. Especially if LoHud's Sam Borden is right: Carrying a third catcher usually is foolish, and the Yankees obviously will need an extra bat (Hinske) when they're playing by National League rules. Guzman was useful almost purely as a pinch-runner, and pinch-runner is the first thing to go when you're making a list of priorities. One does wonder if Girardi really needs a nine-man bullpen -- assuming that three men do all the starting -- but considering those short-rest starts, it probably can't hurt. Unfortunately, having more relievers probably will mean more ...

The Official 2009 World Series Yankees Roster
