Yesterday I mentioned that Mike A. from River Ave. Blues brought up the idea of bringing in Mike Piazza since the only healthy catcher on the current roster is Chad Moeller. I don't think it's a bad idea at all, especially with today's news that Posada may need a cortisone shot. Apparently Brian Cashman doesn't think it's a bad idea either.

We did campaign for Piazza to come to the Yanks over the 2005-06 offseason, but now it's just too late, and just doesn't make sense. Moeller didn't look that out of place last night, anyway.

So, the New York Yankees have placed Wilson Betemit on the disabled list with conjunctivitis (pink eye). That’s a weird way to make room for catcher Chad Moeller on the roster. It is, however, hardly the weirdest “injury” ever suffered by a baseball player. Here’s a list of strange injuries.
