Joel Sherman ✔ @Joelsherman1
Mason Williams has patellar tendinitis and is expected to have no baseball activity for 2 weeks #Yankees


Rough news for both, this was a big ST for each of them.

Jacoby Ellsbury won't report to spring training on time Saturday due to his wife having a baby. Possible arrival Monday.
Did the Austin injury JUST happen? or did that contribute to the

Carter deal?
Couple days ago...

so after the Carter signing (though before it was announced).

Fingers crossed Ellsbury doesnt get hurt during the delivery.
I did not expect Mason Williams to make this team  
superspynyg : 2/17/2017 2:17 pm : link
without a steller ST or injury. There are too many other players tht have priority.

12 everyday players
Castro
Didi
Bird
Headly
Gardner
Ellsbury
Hicks (can play all of positions)
Judge
Torreyes (can play 3 infield positions)
Sanchez
Romine
Carter (you don t give 3.5 mil and then cut him)
Holliday

maybe if they go 13 everyday players. but id rather have 13 pitchers.

Wow - tough break, esp. for Austin. Talk about bad timing.
It would have taken the right combo of injuries...  
Dunedin81 : 2/17/2017 2:24 pm : link
for Williams to break camp with the team, but it wasn't impossible. He's the only other IF on the 40-man who can play a decent CF, after Gardner and Ells, so if one of them went down it would have been at least somewhat logical to think he might have an outside shot.
man, that sucks  
Greg from LI : 2/17/2017 2:25 pm : link
Austin was a longshot to make it out of camp anyway after the Carter signing, but I was pulling for him.

Williams wasn't going to make it, but I do think he's the first call-up when Ellsbury inevitably gets hurt.
Austin had a shot to make it too...  
Dunedin81 : 2/17/2017 2:32 pm : link
his challenge would have been getting regular reps. It likely would have been him or Refsnyder, and they seem to like his bat a lot better.

k, thanks
In some ways these injuries aren't terrible.  
Matt M. : 2/17/2017 2:36 pm : link
It somewhat less muddies the OF/DH slots and would likely have both players start in AAA. however, the austin injury probably cements Carter on the roster.
Carter was getting $3.5 whether he made the roster or not...  
Dunedin81 : 2/17/2017 2:40 pm : link
I couldn't see Cash cutting bait in ST, he would have gotten a shot with the big club. But yeah, certainly cements his getting reps.
Well, solves that problem

Two guys that, due to injuries, may never reach their potential. Hopefully Bird is all the way back.
BTW Goose Gossage is a bitter twat...  
Dunedin81 : 2/17/2017 3:30 pm : link
took shots at Mariano Rivera for being a one-inning guy. As though every pitcher on earth is capable of throwing triple digits for two decades without injury, and those who aren't are weak or babies.

He's in Yankees camp lobbing shots at the GOAT. Every spring this guy says stupid shit. Seems like an utter tool.
That makes Goose the only guy on the planet  
bceagle05 : 2/17/2017 3:43 pm : link
to ever take a shot at Mariano Rivera. I wonder how he feels about Mother Teresa?
jeez  
Greg from LI : 2/17/2017 3:48 pm : link
I loved the Goose as a kid, and he was very nice to me when I met him once, but what an asshole.

BTW, over a third of Mo's playoff appearances went 2 or more innings.

Joba Chamberlain, too, which is what pretty much closed the book on him as a Yankee.
Makes for a really interesting situtation
