Newsbreakers

November 17, 2009

SI.com is reporting that the New York Yankees have declined the $1.25 million option on pitcher Sergio Mitre. Mitre went 3-3 with a 6.79 ERA in 12 appearances with the team last season.

Our View:

Mitre did not have a good showing in 2009, as he sat the first 50 games for a violation of the substance abuse policy, and he was pretty bad when he finally got on the field. Mitre is now eligible for salary arbitration after this move.

September 21, 2009

Sergio Mitre has been removed from the Yankees' starting rotation, according to The Journal News. Chad Gaudin will replace him for the final two weeks of the regular season.

Our View:

Finally. In 11 appearances (nine starts) for the Yanks this season, Mitre is 3-3 with a 6.88 ERA. He could make their postseason roster as a long-reliever, but it doesn't seem likely at this point.

September 15, 2009

Sergio Mitre was lit up for seven earned runs on eight hits over five innings in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Jays at Yankee Stadium. He had one walk with two strikeouts, and was tagged for four homers.

Our View:

Mitre fell to 3-3 with a 7.63 ERA following his nightmarish outing. Mitre continues to struggle, as he gave up 16 earned runs over two starts this month (both against Toronto).

September 6, 2009

Sergio Mitre got blown away by the Blue Jays on Sunday, surrendering 11 runs in just four innings, as the Yankees got blown out 14-8 in Toronto.

Our View:

It's hard to see Mitre and his 7.02 ERA getting many more chances down the stretch.

September 2, 2009

Sergio Mitre is slated to start Sunday's game at Toronto, according to the New York Post.

Our View:

Mitre was scratched from Thursday's start due to a bruised forearm. A.J. Burnett has been moved back to Monday to pitch one of their games in a doubleheader with the Rays. CC Sabathia will pitch the other, and skipper Joe Girardi did not decide the order yet.

September 1, 2009

Sergio Mitre has been scratched from Thursday's start while nursing a bruised forearm, according to the New York Post.

Our View:

Mitre felt good while throwing off flat ground, but is not quite ready to pitch for New York. Chad Gaudin will replace him in the rotation Thursday against Toronto.

August 31, 2009

Sergio Mitre did not throw his scheduled bullpen session today, and only participated in light catch, according to the Star-Ledger. He was struck on his forearm in his last outing, and may miss Thursday's scheduled start.

Our View:

Skipper Joe Girardi noted that Mitre's status is in question, and the club will know more on Tuesday. Chad Gaudin is preparing to make a spot-start if needed.

August 29, 2009

Sergio Mitre was in control from the hill in Saturday's 10-0 win over the White Sox at Yankee Stadium, as he only surrendered one hit over 6.1 innings. He had one walk and fired two strikeouts.

Our View:

Mitre improved his record to 3-1, and bounced back well from his last start, when he was tagged for four earned runs over two innings at rival Boston.

August 10, 2009

Sergio Mitre surrendered five runs (three earned) on six hits over five innings in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Jays at Yankee Stadium. He had one walk and six strikeouts, and gave up two homers.

Our View:

Mitre was handed his first loss of the season, and allowed three or more earned runs in each of his five starts. He has a 7.04 ERA and is just an option for deeper fantasy leagues.

August 5, 2009

Sergio Mitre gave up three earned runs on eight hits over 4.1 innings in Wednesday's 8-4 win at Toronto. He had two walks and three strikeouts.

Our View:

Mitre ended the night with a no-decision in his short outing. He only has one win over four starts, and allowed three or more earned runs each time. He should not be considered for fantasy duty outside of deeper leagues.

July 31, 2009

Sergio Mitre was rocked for five earned runs on seven hits over three innings in Friday's 10-5 loss at Chicago. He had two walks and one strikeout.

Our View:

Mitre has allowed nine earned runs over his last two starts, and only pitched eight innings over the span. He is only an option for deeper fantasy leagues.

July 26, 2009

Sergio Mitre allowed four earned runs in five innings against the A's on Sunday, but managed to earn a no-decision, as the Yanks won 7-5.

Our View:

Mitre has allowed four runs in both of his starts since being inserted into the Yankees rotation, and isn't a great play going forward.

July 21, 2009

Sergio Mitre surrendered four runs (three earned) on eight hits over 5.2 innings in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Orioles at Yankee Stadium. He had one walk and four strikeouts.

Our View:

The Yankees helped Mitre earn a win in his first start since 2007, and he is worth consideration as a flier for AL-only leagues if you need pitching help.

July 21, 2009

The Yankees have purchased Sergio Mitre's contract from the minors, according to TSN. Brett Tomko was designated for assignment to make room on the roster.

Our View:

Mitre will start tonight's home game against the Orioles. He has not appeared in the majors since 2007, and is not a recommended fantasy option in his first back. He is certainly worth adding as a flier for AL-only leagues though. He held a solid 2.40 ERA over 45 innings in Triple-A prior to his promotion.

July 17, 2009

According to the Associated Press, Yankees' pitcher Sergio Mitre will join the rotation and be the team's fifth starter while Chien-Ming Wang is on the DL. Mitre is expected to be called up by the team to start Tuesday in Baltimore.

Our View:

Mitre has been very good in the minors this season, and he seems to be the best candidate for the job at this point. Fantasy owners may want to wait and see how he performs at this level before making a move on him, but AL-only leaguers who are desperate for starting pitching could use him this week.

July 15, 2009

According to the Sun-Sentinel, rehabbing starter Sergio Mitre is the most likely candidate to fill the fifth spot in the Yankees' rotation.

Our View:

Assuming the Yanks don't make a deal, Mitre looks like the guy. He tossed eight shutout innings for Triple-A Scranton yesterday and is now 3-1 with a 2.40 ERA. In his seven starts he has racked up 35 Ks against just five walks. The Yankees would like move Xavier Nady to the 60-day DL to free up a spot for Mitre on the 40-man roster. He's worth a look in AL-only leagues and he should have no problem getting run support in New York.

July 14, 2009

Sergio Mitre is set to start his rehab assignment Thursday with the rookie level Gulf Coast League Yankees, according to the Star-Ledger. He has been recovering from a shoulder injury.

Our View:

He fared fine while throwing 35 pitches in a two-inning batting practice session Tuesday. Mitre is worth stashing as a flier for AL-only leagues.

July 13, 2009

Sergio Mitre has been named the International League Pitcher of the Week, according to minorleaguebaseball.com. Mitre earned the honor by posting a 0.61 ERA over a league-high 14.2 innings for the week, while finishing 2nd with 12 strikeouts.

Our View:

This is encouraging for Mitre as he works for a promotion with the Yankees. He is worth stashing in AL-only leagues.

January 6, 2009

Sergio Mitre has been dealt a 50-game suspension for violating the MLB drug policy, according to ESPN.

Our View:

He had a trace amount of androstenedione in his system, which was believed to be a legal supplement bought at GNC. Mitre will serve the suspension while rehabbing from elbow surgery in the first few months of the 2009 campaign.
