Jose Veres? Is hurt, dead, visa problems? I haven't seen or heard anything about him this Spring.
TJ Beam? They sent him down today and Torre really ripped him. Anyone know what he means when he says "he wasn't the same pitcher we saw last Spring"
Just curious on both

Veras has had a minor arm problem and they shut him down. He's starting to throw again (like Sanchez).

TJ Beam didn't have a strong as spring as Torre and the Yankees hoped he would've. He'll be in AAA until he starts dominating it like he did AA last year (ERA under 0.30 for some time, under 1.00 for months...).
He should be back up in the pen by July.

it seemed like it was more than strictly performance though, true...Torre doesn't usuallly rip a guy over performance- seemed like they were "disappointed" in him- was he outta shape? bad attitude? it seemed like something more than stats.
maybe i'm reading too much into it

I didn't take Torre's comments about Beam as being too harsh. Sounds like the stuff is there, but the location is not.

It's a tough time, with cuts. I'm not overracting to what Joe said about Beam. It's actually a compiment. They expected more. They probably will again in the future.
As for Veras, they were high on him before he was shut down. He closed two of seven games we saw, and he could have another, in which he pitched the ninth (but the Yanks tied it and it went 10).
Put it this way. If something were to happen to Mo (no no, a thousand times no), they might give Veras a shot to close and leave Farnsworth, Proctor, etc., in their current setup roles.
YANKEE BASEBALL!!!

Cashman said that Veras will miss 2-3 months after having bone spur surgery. Tons of depth at AAA, but I feel bad for Veras.
