Still I agree that the organization probably could have afforded to move him along to Tampa a little faster than they did.<br /><br />At this point there are less than 2 weeks left in the minor league seasons. I don't see him getting moved along before the year Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265292606548843859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-63631265449053477652009-08-18T14:26:43.886-04:002009-08-18T14:26:43.886-04:00Ok I know this is completely unrelated, and I know...Ok I know this is completely unrelated, and I know the Yankees don't really like him that much, but can they move Pat Venditte along a little bit? Even if he doesn't project to be a major leaguer, they are yet to find a league that can touch him. <br /><br />In his brief minor league career, he has thrown 90 innings, allowed 62 hits, walked 18, and struck out 119!

I hated him when he was with the Sox, but I really respected him and always thought he was a very underrated part of that team. <br /><br />I would definitely bring him back on a 2 year deal.

(I kid.)<br /><br />I'm all for bringing him back, though I'm uncomfortable about adding a second year. The OF market will be thin this off-season.
