Published 4/15/2008 by David Golebiewski at The Transaction Guy
The Yankees made several roster moves on Monday: RHP Joba Chamerblain was placed on the MLB bereavement list. Chamberlain left to team to be with his aliling father. INF Wilson Betemit was placed on the 15-day DL with a case of pink eye. The Yankees needed roster space, and the team seems to have lost confidence in the switch-hitting Betemit. A career .258/.331/.435 hitter, Betemit was passed over by the slick-fielding Alberto Gonzalez as Derek Jeter’s fill-in at shortstop. To fill Chamberlain’s roster spot, the Bronx Bombers recalled RHP Jonathan Albaladejo. A big guy (6-5, 260) with a groundball-generating sinker and an above-average slider, Albaladejo just ...

There are no Oscars for Major League Baseball. Nothing like the studio wars in the ‘30s and ‘40s when the likes of MGM and Warner Brothers vied for the theater going public.
