Yankees Claim Mickey Storey

The Yankees continue their boring off season with yet another guy picked up off the scrap heap today when the Yankees signed Mickey Storey from the Houston Astros. Storey is a right handed pitcher that pitched out of the Astros bullpen in the last season. In his age 26 season Storey pitched to a 3.86 ERA with a 10/1 K/9 ratio with a 3.0 BB/9 ratio in 30 innings and change. He posted better numbers in 65 innings in AAA last season as well with a 3.05 ERA and a 10.0 K/9 with a 1.99 BB/9 ratio. Seems more like a depth move to me with very few, if any, spots available in the bullpen but I guess those never hurt. It may also mean a trade involving Joba, David Robertson, or whoever else has trade value right now may be in the works... #NinjaCash
