White Sox Comeback

The White Sox score four in the eighth inning off Farnsworth to get the Yankees lead to 7-6 and force Mariano Rivera into trying to convert a four out save. With Damon injured earlier in the game, Iguchi hits a fly to shallow right center that Williams can't catch. It's a ball a fast CF like Damon would have caught for the third out. The single puts Anderson at third, who was hit earlier in the inning by Rivera.

Thome, however, grounds out to Cano and the Yankees hang on for the one-run victory.

That is the reason that they are going to miss Bubba Crosby - late inning defense. Does anybody know what the specifics are when someone is designated for assifnment at this point in the season? Do the Yankees get to keep him at AAA if he clears waivers, or is he done with the organization?

I believe the choice is up to Bubba. He can accept an assignment to AAA or he can become a free agent.

I thought I read that Crosby was in fact sent to Columbus already. So the Yankees could calll him up. Hopefully this helps them see the need for a defense outfielder and they replace Phillips with Crosby, or someone better.

"Bubba Crosby, designated for assignment last Friday, cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus. Crosby did not have the right to refuse the assignment."

I think he has to stay down 10 days (Aug 15?) unless he is replacing someone going on the DL from the big club.
