August 1, 2008 Yankees reliever Edwar Ramirez plans to appeal his three-game suspension, which was doled out after he threw at Baltimore's Kevin Millar, according to the New York Post. "One pitch, one mistake, that's too much. The ball didn't hit him," he said.
Our View:It's possible Ramirez will get his suspension reduced, but it's unlikely it will be tossed out altogether. Ramirez has been very good for the Yankees in relief this season, posting a 2.35 ERA and 0.94 WHIP.
July 31, 2008 Yankees reliever Edwar Ramirez has been suspended three games for throwing at Baltimore's Kevin Millar, according to the AP. Ramirez's pitch was seen as retaliation for Orioles hurler Daniel Cabrera throwing at New York's Alex Rodriguez.
Our View:Ramirez has been great this season, with a 0.94 WHIP and 10.33 K/9 average. He has struck out 44 batters in 38.1 innings.
July 30, 2008 Edwar Ramirez was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Orioles in the seventh inning for throwing inside at Kevin Millar's head, according to the AP.
Our View:Daniel Cabrera was ejected Tuesday for hitting A-Rod, so the umpire (Mark Wegner) felt Ramirez threw at Millar as retaliation.
April 29, 2008 The Yankees recalled Edwar Ramirez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Tuesday. Ramirez pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings earlier this year with the Yanks and was dominating at Triple-A, allowing no runs in nine innings with a 13/1 K/BB rate.
Our View:Ramirez is an option in deeper AL-only leagues with his strikeout potential.
August 15, 2007 The Yankees recalled Edwar Ramirez from Triple-A on Tuesday. He posted a 15.43 ERA in three relief appearances with the Yankees earlier this year, and he'll work in middle relief.
