The New York Yankees have called up Zelous Wheeler for an
extra player on the bench and have sent Chase Whitley down to Triple-A. The
Yankees have been going with a short bench in recent weeks and Whitley has been

can play both in the infield and the outfield like Wheeler can.
I am somewhat surprised that the Yankees didn’t call up the
other “Z man” Zoilo Almonte to help replace Beltran but Wheeler is more
versatile and flexible than Almonte is.
The Great Zelous Wheeler has returned to the circus. He now looks like he has been
