Reds acquire Yan
Reds acquire Yan
CHICAGO -- The Reds have acquired veteran reliever Esteban Yan and cash from the Angels for minor league pitcher Kyle Edens. Yan, who turns 32 next month, was designated for assignment by the Angels on Friday. He has compiled a 6.85 ERA in 13 appearances this year and is making $1.25 million. Jerry Narron said the Reds will use Yan, who can throw in the mid-90s, as a short reliever. That means it won't necessarily be Justin Germano getting the ax when Yan gets here tomorrow. -Marc

Re: Reds acquire Yan
6.85 ERA....he'll fit right in. Wouldn't want a reliever to feel uncomfortable with an ERA under 5.00.

Re: Reds acquire Yan
He's got a live arm - that is a plus. Hopefully Hume sees something so that live arm translates into swings and misses and, more importantly, outs.

Re: Reds acquire Yan
Anything's better than Rick White.Maybe Whites DFA could be near so he could finish his house ahead of schedule.

Re: Reds acquire Yan
Yeah, I think this is a move to help the egos of the rest of the bullpen. After Yan logs a few appearances, White will be relieved that he isn't the worst in the BP.
Actually I have no problem with the move..seems like Edens wasn't going to amount to much and if Yan doesn't work out then we'll just wait for the next DFA to hit the street. |

Re: Reds acquire Yan
While I always am the first to say don't overreact to small sample sizes, I think there is probably merit to putting aging middle relievers on a short leash and riding the hot hand.
Krvisky is starting to remind me a tad bit of Schuerholz/Jockety in so far as he doesn't seem overly attached to fungible pieces of the team and will move to secure the pieces he wants to see put in place. He'll never be accused of sitting on his hands.

Re: Reds acquire Yan
Does anyone know how much cash was included in the deal? This is a decent move. It gets a fresh arm for the pen and not costing alot.

Re: Reds acquire Yan
I'm not overly impressed by the deal right now, but it certainly can't hurt to get someone new for the pen.
I'll give it time before making any conclusions.

Re: Reds acquire Yan
He has always been in the A.L too, maybe the N.L change in scenery will help him, not many players have seen him over in the N.L...
