River Ave. Blues — In a pair of unsurprising moves, Juan Miranda and Colin Curtis were sent back to Triple-A Scranton this afternoon to make room on the roster for Lance Berkman and Austin Kearns. They both did an admirable job plugging holes during the summer, particularly Curtis, who never seemed to have a bad at-bat, but the Yanks [...]Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blogMiranda, Curtis sent to Triple-A

River Ave. Blues — It sure was a busy trade deadline for the Yankees, with the biggest pick up being the man you see above.

Might as well start the day off [...]Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blogDeadline Day Open Thread
